As mentioned above, the quest to learn about Epstein’s beneficiaries is mired in speculation because of the secrecy surrounding Epstein’s trusts. However, there is one person that almost certainly benefits from his estate and one person who likely benefits. The former is the late Epstein’s 30-year-old girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak. Epstein dated Shuliak for several years up to his death and had financially supported her in a number of ways, such as helping pay her dental school tuition. Though Shuliak denied commenting to the press about her association with Epstein, The New York Times reported that she is one of his “largest beneficiaries.”
Shuliak stuck by Epstein’s side through the end. In fact, she was the only person to have phone calls with Epstein when he was in jail. The first call was on July 30, 2019. The second was made the night before his suicide. Epstein told guards that he was calling his “mother,” who died years earlier; in fact, he had called Shuliak.

The second person who “likely” benefits from Epstein’s estate is his brother, Mark, per The Daily Mail. Though this remains unverified, the fact that Mark Epstein had at least one business with his late brother and that he had offered up his condo as collateral for Epstein’s bail point to the fact that the siblings were on good terms and that there would be no reason to exclude Mark from the estate (via The Daily Beast).
