Source of Ghislaine Maxwell’s mystery millions is revealed: Father Robert left her $10million, Epstein files reveal

Ghislaine Maxwell was not left penniless by her father Robert, but inherited at least $10 million from secret trusts, according to the ‘Epstein files’.

The accomplice of convicted sex offender and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has long been thought to have amassed his vast fortune from the man for whom he supplied young girls.

Many believed that her motivation for working for billionaire Epstein and grooming and trafficking young women for him was money.

But newly released documents from private bank JPMorgan Chase show pimp and madam Maxwell inherited millions of dollars from her disgraced newspaper mogul father.

The secret bank file, marked ‘For internal use only’, was written after she was forced to close her account due to her relationship with Epstein.

‘We are no longer comfortable with this customer. The bank’s report notes that in 2011 media reported that Maxwell was propositioning young girls for her then-boyfriend, Jeffrey Epstein.

An internal search later revealed the existence of two bank accounts dating back to the 1990s. It is stated that Ghislaine Maxwell was worth £10 million in 2013.

The money remained in labyrinthine trusts beyond the reach of lawyers seeking to recoup the estimated £500 million her father, Robert Maxwell, stole from the Daily Mirror’s pension funds in the 1980s.

He died in a drowning near the Canary Islands in 1991, aboard his luxury yacht Lady Ghislaine, which he named after his daughter, who he said was the favorite of his seven surviving children.

Four years after his death, a massive out-of-court settlement was reached with the banks and liquidators of his estate for around £276 million (just over half the amount stolen), with the UK government providing a further £100 million in the form of loans to the newspaper pension fund.

The newly revealed bank report even mentions the fact that ‘the source of Ghislaine Maxwell’s wealth has been classified as something of a mystery’ in the press, although she confidently states that she believes her money was left to her by her late father.

He says: ‘We understand that her fortune comes from trusts left behind by her father, Robert Maxwell, after he passed away on 5 November 1991.

‘The rest of his wealth is held in his real estate and artworks (NYC townhouse and London townhouse).’

He also states that ‘he does not work, but he volunteers for the charity he founded.’

It continues by mentioning the noble goals of the TerraMar Foundation and details his father’s career history and achievements.

The report also reveals that Maxwell was first referred to the bank by Epstein and an associate. They introduced him to American banker Jes Staley, who worked at JPMorgan for more than 30 years and was group chairman of Barclays before resigning over his relationship with Epstein.

JPMorgan also had a long and fruitful 15-year relationship with Epstein that helped them raise millions of dollars each year until it was dropped following his 2008 conviction for soliciting sexual conduct of minors.

Maxwell is seen in a US prison cell, where she is currently serving 20 years after being convicted of conspiring with Epstein to sexually exploit, exploit and traffic multiple minors.

After Maxwell’s arrest in 2020, now a very wealthy woman living a jet-set lifestyle, she told the assistant US attorney that she “can’t even wrap her head around how many millions of dollars she has.”

Concerns about where the money came from were the main reason he was denied bail that year.

It was previously revealed in the Epstein files that Maxwell would inherit $10 million from Epstein, but it is not clear whether this amount was paid.

Other files released by the Justice Department also shed light on another long-standing mystery: how she came into the orbit of fellow convicted sex offender Epstein.

The released FBI documents, which run more than three million pages, contain allegations that her older brother Kevin, a once-infamous bankrupt, introduced the pair.

According to the FBI, Kevin was allegedly ‘instructed by his father to meet with Epstein’ in order to ‘move money’ for his family.

Another email in the dossier description reveals that Epstein also believed Maxwell had been murdered, a conspiracy theory that has been widely accepted since her mysterious death.

Another email in the dossier description reveals that Epstein also believed Maxwell was murdered; This is a widely accepted conspiracy theory since his mysterious death.

He wrote ‘Dead’ in the subject line of an email he sent to an anonymous recipient on March 15, 2018, as the details had been redacted, and claimed the newspaper mogul had ‘threatened’ Israeli secret service Mossad that he would ‘reveal everything he did for them unless they gave him £400 million to save his broken empire’.

Epstein wrote: ‘At the time, Margaret Thatcher had free access to Downing Street, Ronald Reagan’s White House, the Kremlin and corridors of power throughout Europe.’

He continued: ‘Maxwell passed all the secrets he learned to the Mossad in Tel Aviv; they too tolerated his excesses, ostentatiousness and a luxurious lifestyle and insatiable appetite for women.

‘He told his controllers who they should target and how they should do it. He appointed himself Israel’s unofficial ambassador to the Soviet bloc.’

Author John Preston, who wrote a biography of Robert Maxwell, said he was ‘surprised’ by the financial disclosures.

The Robert Maxwell Mystery author said: ‘I didn’t speak to Ghislaine for the book but I spoke to one of her brothers and sisters and they had absolutely no money when their father died.

‘They all thought there would be money there. It came as a terrible shock that it didn’t happen.

‘It is not beyond the realm of possibility that Ghislaine, her father’s favourite, was given money before Maxwell’s death. I

‘It makes sense that he would give him a large settlement, perhaps even too large, and not give much to the other children.

‘But I’m surprised there are so many. In the last nine months of Maxwell’s life, money was rapidly running out. ‘It was impossible to find out how much of that money he still had because it was offshore, in Liechtenstein or something.’

Meanwhile, Kevin Maxwell said the allegations had ‘no basis in fact’.
