Ghislaine Maxwell has revealed the staggering amount of money that she was paid annually by Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for luring teenage girls into Epstein’s abuse, sat down with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in July for two days of questioning, per the Daily Mail.

The hundreds of pages of records, made public this week, show that Maxwell discussed her years with Epstein, his social circle, and the transactional nature of their relationship.
But despite speculation, Maxwell offered no incriminating evidence against well-known names, including Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Prince Andrew, or Elon Musk.
Maxwell described her romantic relationship with Epstein as ending around 1999.
“By 1999 our relationship had foundered. We stopped having sexual relations in 1999, not full sex,” she explained.
Though they sometimes “shared a bedroom,” Epstein had other girlfriends. Maxwell said she realized their relationship was truly over when he refused to see her on September 11, 2001.
“He wouldn’t see me at all” that day, she recalled, even though he was just five blocks away. “And then I knew, as anyone did at that time, if you're not going to be there for someone in 9/11, you're never going to be there.”
Even after their romantic involvement ended, Epstein continued to pay her substantial sums.
“He had never stopped paying me,” Maxwell admitted. She said she received around $250,000 a year until he went to jail in 2008 or 2009.
“My memory is that I got paid $25,000 a year to begin with. That’s my memory, I may be wrong,” she added.
During the interviews, Blanche pressed Maxwell about the constant presence of young women around Epstein.
“Young women were everywhere. Multiple massages on some days. Flew with the women to the island, to New York, Paris. There’s always women, they’re always rubbing him, giving him massages. I think it would be an understatement to say that that’s not normal?” Blanche said.
“I agree,” Maxwell responded.
Still, she pushed back on the idea that the women were there solely for sex, saying Epstein liked them — provided they were of legal age — because they were “invigorating” and exposed him to new music.
“If he had been creepy… I don’t think the women would have been there,” she claimed.
Maxwell flatly denied claims from Virginia Giuffre, who accused both Epstein and Maxwell of arranging sexual encounters with Prince Andrew.
Giuffre, who died earlier this year, alleged she had sex in Maxwell’s London home. Maxwell called the story “rubbish,” saying she wasn’t in the city at the time and that her 900-square-foot apartment made the alleged encounter “physically impossible.”
She also said she never thought to introduce Epstein to Andrew, saying: “I couldn’t imagine them being friends. Two chalk and cheeses would never — I mean, for real, there’s nothing there to connect them.”
Prince Andrew previously settled a lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022.
Maxwell also dismissed rumors of a so-called “client list” used to blackmail Epstein’s high-profile associates. “There is no list,” she insisted.
She added: “If I didn’t make it clear, I will reiterate it. I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age. I never saw inappropriate habits.”
Of Donald Trump, she said: “The president was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”
