Billionaire purchases Jeffrey Epstein's private islands for $60 million

Billionaire Stephen Deckoff has purchased the private islands formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein, with plans to build a luxury resort on the land where Epstein allegedly trafficked children. The islands were sold for a combined total of $60 million, and a significant portion of the sale proceeds will be paid to the government of the Virgin Islands per a settlement between the government and Epstein’s estate. The resort is expected to open in 2025 and will feature 25 rooms.
