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

      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.

        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.
