Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean islands have hit the market for $125 million.

According the Wall Street Journal, the properties include the 160-plus-acre Great St. James and the 72-acre Little St. James, located near St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The late financier reportedly purchased the latter—widely known as “Pedophile Island” and “Orgy Island”—in 1998 for around $8 million. He then purchased the larger island eight years later for nearly $20 million. The islands reportedly include six beaches, multiple guest cottages, a villa with a library, a movie theater, and a Japanese bathhouse.

The convicted sex predator once called the private islands his “favorite place to be,” and would regularly entertain high-profile figures on the property. Prosecutors claimed Epstein would also use Little St. James to traffic underage girls for sex. One of his accusers, Virginia Giuffre, claimed she was sexually abused by Prince Andrew while on the property. The disgraced royal has denied the allegations.

Epstein’s estate lawyer, Daniel Weiner, said proceeds from the sale will be used to pay off outstanding lawsuits as well as the cost of the island’s operations. The properties have reportedly remained untouched since 2019, when Epstein died from an apparent suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

The islands are being marketed by New York’s Modlin Group and Bespoke Real Estate alongside Virgin Islands firm Christie’s International Real Estate the Saints. The listing comes about a year after Michael Daffey, an ex-Goldman Sachs executive, purchased Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse for $51 million.
