And his estate...
when he, according to court papers filed after Epstein's death, put his worth at at least $577 million, which includes his private island and properties.
It is.
Yes, that's been a big question over the years and subject to a lot of, I think, elements of lawsuits and investigations.
And it's hard to fully divorce what Epstein was doing with trafficking women and trying to like understand his whole empire because he had a lot of things going on at once.
And oftentimes, not always, his relationships with different people, you know, would have this like sort of business component and then also sometimes this social or like sexual component.

And it's really interesting to see how sometimes he would get tips and then somewhat soon after would advise his bankers or his accountant to purchase shares of these companies that he was getting information about.
Boris Nikolic started working for Bill Gates at the Gates Foundation in the mid-2000s.
Nikolic was advising Bill Gates on tens of millions of dollars in investments, and his specialty was to go and scout for investments and then often work with Bill and help him decide where he should be investing, especially in healthcare and biotech companies.
That is the time when Nikolic started emailing Jeffrey Epstein about this molecular diagnostic testing company called Foundation Medicine.
And it is also around the time that Bill Gates took a significant stake in that startup.
So we know that at this time, Bill Gates and Nikolic are receiving access to non-public information about companies that they invest in.
We know that happened with Foundation Medicine.
Nikolic, in turn, sent some documents discussing the investment to Jeffrey Epstein.
And over time, there's kind of this drumbeat of emails that Nikolic is sending to Epstein discussing Gates' investment in Foundation Medicine and attaching some documents and financial terms about Bill Gates' investment.
So Foundation Medicine goes public in September of 2013.
And in January 2014, Epstein tells his finance people to buy 25,000 shares of Foundation Medicine.
About two days later, Nikolic emailed Epstein.
