How Jeffrey Epstein Got So Rich: Two More Billionaire Clients

Buried within the more than three million documents released by the Department of Justice last Friday are contracts and payment records identifying two previously unreported billionaire clients of Jeffrey Epstein: real estate mogul Mortimer Zuckerman and Ariane de Rothschild, a Rothschild heir by marriage.

According to the files, Epstein provided estate planning and possibly other financial services for Zuckerman and de Rothschild. Together, they appear to have paid him $45 million—an unusually high sum for the work he said he was performing, according to two estate planning experts who spoke with Forbes anonymously given the sensitivity of the topic.
