Jeffrey Epstein’s $630M Love Letter: Diamonds, Islands, and Secret Trusts

KEY POINTS

•Jeffrey Epstein signed the 1953 Trust in August 2019, two days before his death, bequeathing $630 million of assets.
•His fiancée Karyna Shuliak was set to receive $100 million, his Manhattan mansion, a Paris apartment, a New Mexico ranch, and two private Virgin Islands.
•The estate has paid over $125 million to 100 victims and currently holds about $127 million amid ongoing litigation.

Just two days before his tragic and mysterious exit in August 2019, Jeffrey Epstein penned a secretive ‘1953 Trust’ document that read like the most bizarre wedding registry ever. He planned to shower ex-girlfriend and dentist Karyna Shuliak with $100 million, including his Manhattan mansion plus two US Virgin Islands—because true love deserves prime real estate. Conspicuously, he gave her a 32.73-carat diamond ring along with 48 loose diamonds 'in contemplation of marriage,' whatever that means in jail. Meanwhile, longtime lawyer Darren Indyke was slated for $50 million, and accountant Richard Kahn, $25 million, proving noz to worries about fiduciary loyalty. Even Ghislaine Maxwell received a $10 million nod, tucked among the trust’s 43 beneficiaries. With $127 million left in part of an estate that once boasted $630 million, the money maze included payouts to over 100 victims, monstrous tax bills, and redacted secretive trustees, reminding everyone that tangled legacies come with rent, legal fees, and awkward phone calls—especially when the last call from the Manhattan Correctional Center was a 20-minute chat with Shuliak, who never responded to interview requests about her unexpected jackpot.

Nothing says 'I totally meant to settle down' like popping a 32.73-carat diamond ring in a Manhattan jail and splitting $630 million with your dentist fiancée and personal lawyer. True romance, FBI style.
