Just two days before he died, Epstein signed his will and it only named one beneficiary: his brother Mark Epstein, ABC News reported in the video above. His estate was valued at $577 million or more, including $56 million in cash. (The Guardian reported that it wasn’t clear if Mark Epstein was actually a named beneficiary.)

The will he signed put his assets into a trust fund, The Guardian reported. The assets listed included $18.5 million in cars, aircraft, and boats; arts and collectibles; and properties in Florida, New York, New Mexico, Paris, and the Virgin Islands.

Mark Epstein has insisted that his brother Jeffrey was innocent and that he did not commit suicide but was killed, Miami Herald reported. Mark said that when his brother died, he hadn’t seen him for seven years. He said they weren’t close, but Jeffrey did call him “when he first got in trouble.” He claimed that his brother reformed himself after he was released from jail in 2009.

In July 2019, Mark offered his Florida home as collateral to help Jeffrey Epstein make bail, The Daily Beast reported.

He said that while Jeffrey went into the finance world, Mark himself was drawn to the artist community. Mark also said that before going into real estate, he owned a silk-screening business.

In August 2019, the Daily Caller reported that Maxine Waters, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Adam Schiff were on the board of Humpty Dumpty Institute, a think-tank group led by Mark Epstein. The Institute works with the United Nations and was co-founded by Constance Milstein in 1988. Mark served as vice chairman and represented the group with U.N. dignitaries.
