Today I learned: Epstein Island had an area of 28 ha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein_island

cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/31937984

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

A temple was built on the island, it contained an image of the pope and Epstein.

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?

5 hectares is just over 2 acres. Or 46000 washing machines. 12000 large rocks.

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

The same way a landlord can own the ground (and the house of course) they are renting out.
