Six weeks before the death of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an extraordinary document lies on the prosecutor's table. It is titled “Asset Summary” and lists Epstein's assets. It shows a total amount of almost USD 600 million. (PLN 2,145 million). It consists of cash, securities, hedge funds and real estate.
Epstein had $56 million. (200 million 194 thousand) in cash only, spread over many accounts. Almost $195 million. (PLN 697 million 106 thousand) were invested in hedge funds, and approximately USD 177 million (632 million 757 thousand) was invested in real estate.
These included the private island of Little Saint James, as well as luxury estates in New York, New Mexico and Paris. In Manhattan, Epstein occupied a huge apartment in a prime location. Interestingly, heating was installed in front of the building to prevent snow from accumulating on the sidewalk in winter. But that's not all.
The next document lists further assets and gives a deep insight into Epstein's system and his ability to move freely. To travel between his many estates, he had a variety of means of transportation at his disposal: nine boats, a helicopter, and three planes. Among them was a Boeing 727 jet that could theoretically seat over 190 people. The vessels also included several jet skis that were stationed on Epstein's private island.

On land, too, Epstein had plenty to choose from. He owned 15 cars, including a Hummer H2 (list price of approximately EUR 70,000, i.e. approximately PLN 295,000) and a Bentley Mulsanne (price up to EUR 250,000, i.e. approximately PLN 1,53,000). All vehicles were black, except the Bentley, which was anthracite. Four of these cars were on Epstein's private island.

The list also mentions: 89 landline numberswhere you could contact him or his employees. Most of them, as many as 50, led to his private island. As for his cell phone, according to the document, he could only be contacted by one number.
The list also lists 73 of Epstein's online accounts. These include LinkedIn, Pinterest, Flickr, Indeed and Wikipedia. However, all of these accounts were not run by Epstein himself, but by third parties. They therefore served only to “reputation management” the financier.
Epstein's extensive connections
The publication of Epstein's files allows us to obtain an increasingly detailed picture of the machinations of the influential American. Recently, Die Welt reported on Epstein's controversial connections with Germany.
According to the files, businessmen, scientists and bank executives remained in contact with Epstein, sometimes for many years. Some acquaintances seem fleeting, others even intimate.
Reporters from the “Bild” daily analyzed the financier's connections with Deutsche Bank, for which he was a client of particular importance. Deutsche Bank it is also one of the most frequently mentioned institutions in Epstein's files. The financier had over 40 active accounts in this German bank, through which millions of dollars flowed.
