Shuliak, the woman who was the last person to speak with Jeffrey Epstein before his suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, is now in line to inherit a significant portion of his wealth, according to the International New York Times.
The Final Call
Court records and investigative reports confirm that Epstein placed a call to Shuliak moments before his death. The details of that conversation remain sealed, but it has fueled speculation about her role in his affairs. Shuliak, a longtime associate and caretaker of Epstein's properties, was known to be one of his closest confidantes in the final years of his life.
A Controversial Inheritance
Epstein's estate, valued at over $635 million according to court filings in the U.S. Virgin Islands, has been the subject of intense litigation. While much of the fortune was expected to go to a charitable trust or to compensate victims, recent documents indicate that Shuliak stands to receive a substantial share. The exact percentage has not been disclosed, but sources close to the estate estimate it could amount to tens of millions of dollars.
Legal Challenges
The potential inheritance has drawn sharp criticism from victims' advocates, who argue that Epstein's assets should be used to compensate the dozens of women he sexually abused. A legal challenge filed in the Eastern District of New York seeks to block any transfer of assets to individuals with close ties to Epstein. The case is ongoing, and a decision is expected later this year.
Victims' Response
Several of Epstein's accusers have publicly condemned the prospect of Shuliak inheriting any part of the fortune. One victim, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, 'It is a cruel irony that someone who helped Epstein evade justice could now benefit from his crimes.' The estate's administrators have declined to comment on the matter.
