The island was Epstein’s primary residence,[4][14] and he called the island “Little St. Jeff”.
In April 1998, a company called L.S.J. LLC purchased the island for $7.95 million, and documents showed that Jeffrey Epstein was the sole member of L.S.J
This place needs to be PROTECTED by AMERICAN TAXPAYERS!

Lots of room for Trump and those poor kids.
70 to 78 acres
for anyone else who doesn’t have the slightest idea how big a hectare is.
Welcome to how anyone from the rest of the world feels when measurements are given in US units.
100 m by 100 m so 10,000 m² which is about 4 European football fields.
Now do sq ft
Jfc thank you. I know what a hectare is, but thought they just hit submit before finishing. “28 ha… …Bitatikns? Halfling holes? Harems? Half quart basketball quarts?”
I’m an American. Can you please translate this into either football fields or parking lots?
Approximately the surface area of 9,476 cats.
E: Multiply by the length of 12 elephant trunks to get to the 28Ha.
Blows me away that anyone could buy a private island that large that cheaply. Still only $15.8M today.
wonder if the whole pedophile Island has lowered/risen the price.
Interesting question! So I looked. NPR quotes:
Financier Stephen Deckoff paid $60 million for Great St. James and Little St. James through his SD Investments firm, a spokesperson told NPR.
The purchase price reflects a steep discount from the $110 million for which the two properties were recently listed.
Little St. James spans around 71.6 acres and includes “a helipad, private dock, gas station, high-capacity water filtration, 2 pools, the main compound, 4 guest villas, 3 private beaches, gym, tiki hut,” and other buildings, according to its real estate listing.
Still can’t believe it’s that cheap in a world with 3,028 billionaires. That’s pocket lint for these people! Which should be fucking enraging.
good to know that a pedo island label lowers the price.
Who owns it now?
In his will and testament (a 21-page pour-over will) signed just two days before his death,[16] all of Epstein’s holdings were transferred into the “1953 Trust”,[17] named after the year of his birth.
In March 2022, Little Saint James and the neighboring Great Saint James were listed at $125 million. A lawyer for Epstein’s estate stated that the money obtained from the sale would be used to settle a number of lawsuits. Bespoke Real Estate, the agency jointly overseeing the sale, stated that further information on the listing was only available to prospective buyers.[18][19]
In May 2023, billionaire Stephen Deckoff, under his firm SD Investments, announced the acquisition of the Great St. James and Little St. James islands for $60 million.[20]
Edit: Incidentally this guy doesn’t have a Wikipedia page which seems…unusual. He’s a private equity guy.
He went to Cornell. You ever heard of it? Bet he graduated in four years.
Would billionaires pay people to keep them off of the internet? I can’t imagine they want people who aren’t in their golf clubs to know who they are.
