Over the years, the casually-dressed, globe-trotting financier, who
was said to log more than 600 flying hours a year, has been linked with
Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker and Manhattan-London society
figure Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late media titan Robert
Maxwell.
Epstein reportedly flew Tucker and Spacey to Africa on his private jet as part of a charitable endeavour. Clinton, meanwhile, flew on multiple occasions in the same plane to Epstein’s private Caribbean island, Little St James, between 2002 and 2005 as he developed his philanthropic post-presidential career. It would later be alleged in court that Epstein organised orgies on that same private island in the US Virgin Islands.
Prince Andrew was named in the 'sex slave case' related to banker Jeffrey Epstein
Reports in the US media say many of the A-list names broke off any links
with the former maths teacher after his arrest and conviction in 2008
of having sex with an underage girl whom he had solicited. His arrest
followed an 11-month undercover investigation at a mansion in Florida’s
Palm Beach that Epstein owned.
In 2008, he pleaded guilty to a single charge of soliciting prostitution and was handed a 18-month jail sentence. He served 13 months in jail and was obliged to register as a sex offender. A 2011 report in the New York Post said that he celebrated his release from jail and his return to a property he maintains in New York – a 45,000-sq-foot eight-storey mansion on East 71st Street – with Prince Andrew.

“I’m not a sexual predator, I’m an ‘offender’,” he told the newspaper at
the time. “It’s the difference between a murderer and a person who
steals a bagel.”
Epstein, 61, was born in Brooklyn, New York, where his father worked for the city’s parks department. He attended Brooklyn’s Lafayette High School and excelled at mathematics. This helped him secure job in his early 20s as a maths teacher at the exclusive Dalton School, a private college located on New York’s Upper East Side.

Key facts of Jeffrey Epstein 'sex slave' lawsuit
Among his pupils was the son of Bear Stearns chairman Ace Greenber. In 1976, after a few years teaching the children of the wealthy, he accepted a job offer from Mr Greenber that allowed him to oversee their money and left to become an options trader at Bear Stearns.
Epstein reportedly flew actor Kevin Spacey to Africa on his private jet as part of a charitable endeavour
Four years later he was made a partner, but by 1982 he had left to set
up his own boutique investment company, J Epstein and Co. He reportedly
only accepted clients prepared to invest a minimum of $1bn, though many
profiles of Epstein admit a lack of hard, verifiable facts about his
business have added to the air of mystery. It is said, for instance,
that Epstein forgoes alcohol and instead prefers Earl Grey tea and does
yoga every day.
Among Epstein’s early investment clients were Leslie Wexner, the Ohio-based businessman who is CEO of L Brands, the fashion and lifestyle group whose brands include Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works. In 2013, Forbes magazine estimated the 77-year-old Mr Wexler’s wealth to be $7.3bn.

Epstein has always been interested in science, funding scientific
projects and investments around the world. In 2000 he established the
Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation, which funds science research and
education globally. He has reportedly donated $30m to Harvard
University, money the Ivy League institution retained despite his
conviction and registration as a sex offender.

the Manhattan-London society figure Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the

Reports say the silver-coiffed Epstein has invested millions to research
subjects such as evolution, cancer and HIV. His projects have linked
him to many leading figures in the world of science and research
including Gerald Edelman, Murray Gell-Mann and Stephen Hawking.
