  • 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.

    The huge apartments are kind of an acceptable break from reality for me. Yeah they occasionally have in-universe handwaves but the real reason is it’s a set and it would be hard to film in anything smaller, especially in a multi camera sitcom like Friends.

    I didn’t watch enough Sex and the City to see if they had an explanation for everyone’s wealth, but it was pretty clear that all the characters were wealthy.



  • That whole survival crafting genre seems very hit or miss to me, and I’ve noticed that people liking one game in the genre is a very poor predictor of whether they’ll like another one. Subnautica, Don’t Starve, Minecraft, and Ark are all theoretically the same genre but very different games.

    However I’ve also seen a lot of people say that Subnautica was the one that clicked for them. I think the story and progression was big for a lot of people.
