Today I learned: Epstein Island had an area of 28 ha
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein_island
The island was Epstein's primary residence,[4][14] and he called the island "Little St. Jeff".
In April 1998, a company called L.S.J. LLC purchased the island for $7.95 million, and documents showed that Jeffrey Epstein was the sole member of L.S.J

28 ha is quite big. 280000 square meters of prime real estate, with palm gardens, mountains and tropical climate.

and bad memories, bad reputation and generally bad juju.
If I owned the place, I'd sell it quick: I just don't know how I could be there and enjoy it, knowing who was there and what they did.
Their actions cursed this beautiful tropical island for generations?
No but... Would you want to be known as the owner / inhabitant of Epstein Island? Would you enjoy staying there knowing its past?
The island doesn't give a shit. But you and other people might.
yep, and Wikipedia lists the owner, who bought this island, so someone did not give a shit, as you say.
In March 2022, Little Saint James and the neighboring Great Saint James were listed at $125 million. A lawyer for Epstein's estate stated that the money obtained from the sale would be used to settle a number of lawsuits.
So now they use the money obtained through the sale to defend Ghislaine Maxwell?
In May 2023, billionaire Stephen Deckoff, under his firm SD Investments, announced the acquisition of the Great St. James and Little St. James islands for $60 million.
They could buy it for cheaper than the listing price, why?
Bad juju? LOL
I hope so many people feel the same way that it comes up for sale so cheap I can afford it. What happened previously on a chunk of Earth is irrelevant to me. Many years ago, I got a discount on renting an apartment because someone was murdered there. I didn't GAF, I was happy for the discount.
Have you been living under a fucking rock?
Release the Trump/Epstein files
28 ha is quite big. 280000 square meters of prime real estate, with palm gardens, mountains and tropical climate. Maybe the files are hidden there under the X mark?
Epstein also owned Great St James (67 ha, 165 acres), which shields the view of Little St James from the mainland.

wtf yeah he bought the 2 islands:
* 1998 Little St James
* 2016 Great St James
Thanks! I would not have found out. If you search for "Epstein Island", only Little St James shows up on wikipedia.
islanders "begged" Kjær and his wife Susan Astani not to sell the land to Epstein
I don't understand how you can legally own a populated island
Tsk tsk tsk. He bought multiple islands, but never bothered to breed any dinosaurs???
Damn.
Going to epsteins island was scary for totally different reasons!
I’m an American. Can you please translate this into either football fields or parking lots?

Lots of room for Trump and those poor kids.
Blows me away that anyone could buy a private island that large that cheaply. Still only $15.8M today.
wonder if the whole pedophile Island has lowered/risen the price.
Interesting question! So I looked. NPR quotes:
Still can't believe it's that cheap in a world with 3,028 billionaires. That's pocket lint for these people! Which should be fucking enraging.
good to know that a pedo island label lowers the price.

Approximately the surface area of 9,476 cats.
E: Multiply by the length of 12 elephant trunks to get to the 28Ha.
for anyone else who doesn't have the slightest idea how big a hectare is.
100 m by 100 m so 10,000 m² which is about 4 European football fields.
Welcome to how anyone from the rest of the world feels when measurements are given in US units.
Hello, rest of the world here. I actually do have some basic understanding of US units with some frame of reference and common amounts/numbers. Because we deal with American crap all the time, tutorials, info sheets, some products use them (TVs, etc).
Jfc thank you. I know what a hectare is, but thought they just hit submit before finishing. "28 ha... ...Bitatikns? Halfling holes? Harems? Half quart basketball quarts?"
Now do sq ft
Who owns it now?
Edit: Incidentally this guy doesn't have a Wikipedia page which seems...unusual. He's a private equity guy.
Would billionaires pay people to keep them off of the internet? I can't imagine they want people who aren't in their golf clubs to know who they are.
He went to Cornell. You ever heard of it? Bet he graduated in four years.
This place needs to be PROTECTED by AMERICAN TAXPAYERS!
