Why Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein Is Not A Billionaire
Jeffrey Epstein, the onetime money manager and a registered sex offender, was arrested on sex trafficking charges
on Saturday. As news of the arrest ricocheted across the media
landscape, many outlets referred to Epstein—mistakenly—as a
billionaire.
“Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein Due In Court To Face
Sex Charges,” read a CNN chyron. “Jeffrey Epstein, Billionaire Long
Accused of Molesting Minors, Is Charged,” said the New York Times. Forbes has never included Epstein, 66, in its rankings of the World’s Billionaires, since there is scant proof he holds a ten-figure fortune. As we wrote in 2010, “The source of his wealth—a money management firm in the U.S. Virgin Islands—generates no public records, nor has his client list ever been released.”
