Jeffrey Epstein's private US Virgin Islands locations up for sale
ABC News
The late, disgraced financier owned two neighboring islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The executors of the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have listed for sale the two private Caribbean islands the late financier owned off the east coast of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, an attorney for the estate told ABC News on Wednesday.
The asking price: $125 million, according to two sources.
Epstein purchased the private island, Little St. James, in 1998 for about $8 million and established his permanent residence there in 2010, around the time he was released from his first jail sentence in Palm Beach, Florida. He liked to refer to his estate there as "Little St. Jeff's," according to testimony that emerged last year during the criminal trial of his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein later acquired ownership of a larger, neighboring island, Great St. James, and he was in the process of building a new estate there at the time of his arrest in 2019, according to court and property records in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
