Womanizer Billionaire Visited Jeffrey Epstein’s NYC Estate Multiple Times

New claims from a recent new book, “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story,’ has shed a dark light on the relationship of disgraced sexual predator Epstein and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. The book claims that both billionaires showed multiple meetings at Epstien’s NYC townhome during the early 2010s, including one time where Gates stayed the night.

According to the book, Epstein was trying to secure a deal with Gates through his charity, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, in which Epstein would help the foundation secure funds, claiming he “had connections to trillions of dollars of his clients’ money,” and reap 0.3% of “whatever money he raised,” Brown wrote, citing a 2019 New York Times report.

“Others who worked for Gates’s foundation also visited Epstein’s mansion several times, and Epstein spoke to both Bill and Melinda Gates about a proposed charitable fund that could generate sizable fees for Epstein,” Brown wrote. “Epstein hoped to attract donations from some of his wealthy friends as part of the venture, seeded with Gates Foundation funds, that would be used for global health causes.”

Epstein also chartered a flight for Gates on the financier’s private jet in 2013 from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida. Epstein’s estate in Palm Beach played a huge role in the billionaire’s sex trafficking ring, according to prosecutors.

Epstein first pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 in a case dating back to 2005.

“Philanthropic talks” between the two billionaires went on into 2014 when Gates donated $2 million to MIT’s Media Lab “at Epstein’s behest,” Brown wrote. Soon afterward, Gates cut off ties with Epstein.

Bridgitt Arnold, a spokeswoman for Gates told the Times in 2019 that the billionaire “regrets ever meeting with Epstein.”

“Over time, Gates and his team realized Epstein’s capabilities and ideas were not legitimate and all contact with Epstein was discontinued,” Arnold told the Times. “Bill Gates regrets ever meeting with Epstein and recognizes it was an error in judgment to do so. Gates recognizes [sic] that entertaining Epstein’s ideas related to philanthropy gave Epstein an undeserved platform that was at odds with Gates’s personal values and the values of his foundation.”

Gates previously downplayed his ties with Epstein, telling The Wall Street Journal in 2019 that he had met him but “didn’t have any business relationship or friendship with him.”

Brown notes in her book that the millionaires and billionaires “who helped finance Epstein’s life of sexual violence maintain that they knew nothing about the deviant behavior exhibited by a man with whom they entrusted billions of dollars.”
