Jeffrey Epstein's Island And The Eye Popping Initial Listing Price

In late 2019, the Epstein estate first put Little St. James and neighboring Great St. James on the market together for a combined asking price of $125 million, an amount that immediately drew criticism and disbelief. The listing treated the islands as ultra-luxury assets, emphasizing development potential while making only passing reference to their notoriety, effectively attempting to price the stigma out of the deal.That eye-popping figure quickly proved detached from reality. Buyer interest was minimal, the listing stagnated, and the estate was eventually forced to slash the price, first breaking the islands apart and later relisting Little St. James alone at a dramatically reduced figure. The failed $125 million ask became emblematic of the estate’s broader strategy: inflate value, delay consequences, and pretend that money and time could launder a crime scene into a neutral piece of real estate.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
