Before you happened upon this post who claimed Jho Low, Trump and Epstein all attended Walton School, this post here, it's not true. Fake news is true and alive.
The school claim is false. There is no evidence any of them attended a “Walton School.” Searches for that exact name in connection with the three men turn up nothing relevant (just references back to this post or unrelated items).

It’s almost certainly a typo for the Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania’s business school). Multiple replies in the thread itself point this out.
Donald Trump: Yes, he transferred to and graduated from Wharton in 1968 with a BS in economics.

Jho Low: Yes, he enrolled in Wharton’s undergraduate program around 2001 (some sources say he graduated in 2005; others, including 2022 Malaysian court testimony, say he dropped out without graduating). He was a student there either way.

Jeffrey Epstein: No. He attended Cooper Union (no degree) then New York University’s Courant Institute (no degree, left in 1974). He never attended Wharton, Penn, or any school called Walton. He taught math/physics at the Dalton School in New York but was not a student at an Ivy League business school.

So two out of three attended Wharton (with a question mark on Low’s degree), but Epstein did not. They were not “all pupils of the same school.”2. The “billionaires despite not coming from wealthy families” claim is also false. Donald Trump: Born into a wealthy New York real-estate family; his father Fred Trump was already a millionaire developer. Trump has repeatedly cited his Wharton education and family background as advantages.
en.wikipedia.org
Jho Low: Born into a wealthy Malaysian Chinese family (father sold a textile stake for ~$15 million before Low was born; the family lived in a mansion and sent him to elite boarding school Harrow). Wikipedia and multiple biographies describe the family as wealthy/moderately wealthy.

Jeffrey Epstein: Raised in a working-class/middle-class Brooklyn family (father was a parks department groundskeeper). He fits the “not from wealth” description—but he was never a billionaire (his estate at death was valued around $560–600 million).

Only Epstein truly came from a non-wealthy background, and he wasn’t a billionaire. The other two had family money/connections.Other parts of the postJho Low’s central role in the 1MDB scandal (stealing ~$4.5 billion), funding The Wolf of Wall Street, and lavish spending (e.g., DiCaprio’s birthday) are well-documented and accurate.
The video (and the teased “spooky similarities” or Epstein–1MDB links) isn’t verifiable here, but the core factual framing in the text (“all pupils of the Walton School… despite not coming from wealthy families”) doesn’t hold up.
In short, the post mixes some real facts about Jho Low with a clear error about the school name and attendance, plus misleading claims about family backgrounds and billionaire status. The “what unites them” hook relying on the shared school is incorrect.

Fan addendum; Bill Barr’s father gave Epstein his teaching position, despite having no qualifications.
It’s a big club, thanks be to God you’re not in it.
That's right. I remember that.
