Reid Hoffman

The documents reveal that the billionaire venture capitalist and LinkedIn co-founder visited Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean for a weekend, and was scheduled to stay overnight at his Manhattan townhouse in 2014.

Hoffman said he met with Epstein to raise funds for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and that he regrets interacting with Epstein after his conviction. In 2014, Hoffman introduced Epstein to fellow investor Peter Thiel.

“It gnaws at me that, by lending my association, I helped his reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors,” Hoffman said in an email.

MIT has said it was a mistake to accept gifts from Epstein and that it was “the result of collective and significant errors in judgment.”

Barnaby Marsh

When he was an executive at the large charitable fund John Templeton Foundation, Marsh met with Epstein roughly two dozen times, often for breakfast at the townhouse, the documents show.

Marsh, who advises wealthy people on philanthropy, said he went to Epstein’s townhouse for gatherings because it was full of billionaires and academics who had many of the same interests in charitable giving. Marsh said Epstein openly discussed his jail time.

“I had high hopes that he would follow the paths of others who used their ‘second chance’ to make a positive impact in the world,” Marsh said. “In the end, he disappointed me.”

Thomas Pritzker

Epstein scheduled several events at his townhouse with Pritzker, the chairman of Hyatt Hotels and member of a wealthy and politically connected Chicago family, according to the documents.

Pritzker and Hyatt representatives didn’t respond to requests for comment about the scheduled meetings.

Nicholas Ribis

Epstein and Ribis, a former CEO of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts in the 1990s, were scheduled to meet several times from 2011 to 2017, the documents show.

Some of those meetings were in 2016, after Ribis was named as one of the backers of a political-action committee supporting the Trump campaign.

Ribis had only a passing connection and had no business relationship with Epstein, a spokesman for Ribis said.

Bill Richardson

Epstein planned a dinner with Richardson at his townhouse in September 2016, the documents show.

The former New Mexico governor said he didn’t meet with Epstein in 2016 and that he doesn’t know why he appears in the schedules. He said he gave to charity a 2006 donation that Epstein made to his gubernatorial campaign.

Ariane de Rothschild

A member of the famous banking family had more than a dozen meetings with Epstein. He sought her advice with staffing and furnishings as well as discussed business deals with her, according to the documents.

De Rothschild, CEO of the Swiss private bank Edmond de Rothschild Group, negotiated a $25 million contract with Epstein in 2015 for one of Epstein’s companies to provide risk analysis and other services to the bank, the documents show.

In 2019, after Epstein was arrested, the bank denied that de Rothschild met with Epstein and said it had no business links with him.

The bank acknowledged to the Journal that its earlier statement wasn’t accurate. It said de Rothschild met with Epstein as part of her normal duties at the bank between 2013 and 2019, and Epstein introduced the bank to U.S. finance leaders, recommended law firms and provided tax and risk consulting.

“In parallel to that, Epstein solicited her personally on a couple occasions for advice and services on estate management,” the bank said.

Terje Rød-Larsen

Epstein made plans for the Norwegian diplomat to visit his private island in 2012. Rød-Larsen was scheduled to visit so frequently to Epstein’s townhouse—dozens of times from 2013 to 2017—that the staff knew to have cucumbers on hand for his gin, the documents show.

In October 2014, he was on the guest list when Epstein planned for Woody Allen to give lessons on film editing at Epstein’s townhouse to a group watching Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” the documents show.

Rød-Larsen resigned in 2020 as president of the International Peace Institute after a Norwegian newspaper reported he visited the townhouse frequently, had received a $130,000 personal loan from Epstein, and had accepted about $650,000 in donations from Epstein foundations for the nonprofit.

The IPI said in 2020 that it was unaware of the donations and the loan, and that Rød-Larsen had apologized for his “failed judgment.” Rød-Larsen didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Kathryn Ruemmler

The White House counsel under President Barack Obama had dozens of meetings with Epstein in the years after her White House service and before she became a top lawyer at Goldman Sachs Group in 2020. He also planned for her to join a 2015 trip to Paris and a 2017 visit to Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean.

Epstein visited apartments Ruemmler was considering buying. In October 2014, Epstein knew her travel plans and told an assistant to look into her flight. “See if there is a first class seat,” he wrote, “if so upgrade her.”

Ruemmler had a professional relationship with Epstein in connection with her role at law firm Latham & Watkins LLP and didn’t travel with him, a Goldman Sachs spokesman said. Most of their meetings involved a mutual client and Epstein introduced her to potential clients, the spokesman said. “I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein,” Ruemmler said.

Lawrence Summers

The former Treasury secretary and onetime Harvard University president had more than a dozen meetings scheduled with Epstein from 2013 through 2016, including several dinners, the documents show.

Summers emailed Epstein in 2014 asking for help fundraising for an online poetry project his wife, Harvard professor Elisa New, was working on. In 2016, a nonprofit linked to Epstein donated $110,000 to New’s nonprofit, which develops video content about poetry, according to tax records.

Summers “deeply regrets being in contact with Epstein after his conviction,” and New’s nonprofit “regrets accepting funding from Epstein,” said a spokeswoman for the couple. New’s nonprofit later made a contribution “exceeding the amount received, to a group working against sex trafficking,” the spokeswoman said.

Peter Thiel

A Silicon Valley investor and co-founder of PayPal, Thiel had several scheduled meetings with Epstein from 2014 to 2016, the documents show.

Thiel first met Epstein in 2014, after an introduction from Reid Hoffman, and said Epstein subsequently lured him to meetings with the promises of more introductions. “He was a crazed networker and low on substance in one-on-one conversations,” Thiel said. “It was all smoke and mirrors.”

In October 2016, when Thiel had been backing Trump’s campaign for president, Epstein scheduled a lunch with him and Russia’s ambassador to the U.N., according to the documents. Thiel said the meeting featured “nothing memorable.”

“I was rather naive,” Thiel said in an interview, “and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.”

Mortimer Zuckerman

The real-estate investor and media owner was scheduled to meet Epstein more than a dozen times over the years, the documents show. On some occasions, the two men planned to meet at Zuckerman’s office or home, which was near Epstein’s townhouse, the documents show.

One night in January 2014, Epstein waited past 11 p.m. to meet with Zuckerman, who was scheduled to visit his townhouse at 10:30 p.m., the documents show.

A spokeswoman for Zuckerman had no comment on the scheduled meetings.
