US EditionJeffrey Epstein Invested With Peter Thiel, and His Estate Is Reaping Millions
NEW YORK, JUN 4 – Jeffrey Epstein's $40 million investment in Peter Thiel's Valar Ventures grew by 325% to nearly $170 million, now the largest remaining asset of Epstein's estate.
- Between 2015 and 2016, Jeffrey Epstein contributed $40 million to Valar Ventures, a firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, making it the most valuable asset remaining in Epstein’s estate following his death in 2019.
- This investment followed a 2014 meeting where Epstein was viewed as a well-known adviser to influential organizations despite ongoing investigations into his conduct.
- The investment firm co-founded by Peter Thiel that focuses on financial technology startups now holds assets valued at nearly $170 million, stemming from Epstein’s $40 million infusion.
- A confidential financial analysis and a statement from Valar confirm the $170 million valuation, representing a 325% return and making it the estate’s primary asset six years after Epstein's death.
- Epstein’s estate, valued at about $200 million including this investment, awaits final distribution pending a federal class-action lawsuit and likely will direct funds primarily to Epstein’s former girlfriend and advisers rather than victims.
