CHAPTER 4
Jeffrey Epstein: February 2005
J
ohn Kluge, the media magnate, has bought up several lots
around here, torn down the mansions, and built a grand,
sprawling estate. But Epstein's neighbors have blocked his
own efforts to buy more land and increase his holdings.
Epstein's address in Palm Beach is 358 El Brillo Way. Built in
the fifties by a totally run-of-the-mill architect, the house has
none of the elegance of his neighbors' homes. It's big, with a big
swimming pool—that's the most you can say for it. It's totally
bland. But it's the last house on a dead-end block, the last block
of the street, and this makes it very secluded.
Tonight, one of Epstein's black Escalades will whisk him
away, taking him to the private terminal at Palm Beach International Airport. Then a short flight down to Little Saint Jamesor, as he likes to call it, Little Saint Jeff's—the seventy-eight-acre
island he owns in the Virgin Islands. But for the moment, there

although, in Epstein's experience, the two have always fit together
nicely.

He strolls through the gate, past the guard, up to the side
door that leads to the kitchen. Inside, he ignores the maid doing
dishes and climbs a wide, winding staircase to the second floor.
He walks down a hallway, one that's lined with photographs of
naked women. Then, in his bedroom, he opens a closet. Inside,
there are many more photographs. Erotic photos, tacked to the
wall, of girls who have come to the house.
Familiar faces, familiar bodies. That's what makes the
first-timers so special.
Epstein checks his watch before closing the door.
