US EditionJeffrey Epstein Invested With Peter Thiel, and His Estate Is Reaping Millions
- Jeffrey Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019, invested $40 million in Peter Thiel's venture capital firm Valar Ventures during 2015-2016.
- This investment followed their 2014 meeting and was previously undisclosed, though Epstein's ties to Thiel and other tech figures were reported earlier in 2023.
- Valar Ventures, co-founded by Thiel, focuses on startup funding in financial technology, and Epstein's $40 million stake has grown to an estimated $170 million.
- Epstein's estate, now worth over $200 million mainly due to this investment, has paid hundreds of millions in settlements to approximately 200 victims who signed broad releases waiving future claims.
- A significant federal legal case is still outstanding against the estate's executors, and once settled, the remaining assets will be distributed according to Epstein's will, primarily benefiting his former girlfriend and two longtime advisors.
