All the names in the”Epstein Class” so far

Sarah Ferguson is a British author, former member of the British royal family, and former Duchess of York. Then known as Sarah, Duchess of York, the former wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York), thanked Epstein for being the "brother" she "always wished for" in an email sent in August 2009, a year after his conviction. In the exchange, Ferguson appeared to suggest she and her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, had met with Epstein, writing: "I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me in front of my girls."

Bill Gates is an American businessman, philanthropist, and co-founder of Microsoft. The release contained draft emails written by Epstein in 2013, addressed to his own account, which made lurid allegations about Gates; it was not clear whether Epstein ever sent the emails to Gates. A representative for Gates called the claims "absolutely absurd and completely false" and stated they demonstrated Epstein's "frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates". The emails alleged that Gates had tried to surreptitiously give medication for sexually transmitted diseases to his then-wife, Melinda French Gates
 
David Gelernter is an American computer scientist, writer and professor at Yale University. The Epstein files reveal email correspondence between Gelernter and Epstein from 2009 to 2015. In their exchanges, they scheduled several visits, including in New York City, and discussed the scent and dress of women in Paris. In an apparent recommendation letter from October 2011, Gelernter described one of his undergraduate students to Epstein: "I have a perfect editoress in mind: Yale sr, worked at Vogue last summer, runs her own campus mag, art major, completely connected, v[ery] small goodlooking blonde." After the correspondence was made public in January 2026, Gelernter defended it in an email to Jeffrey Brock, the dean of the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science; in February 2026, it was reported that Gelernter had been relieved of his teaching duties amid a review by Yale
 
Stephen Hawking was an English theoretical physicist and cosmologist. Hawking was mentioned in court documents released in 2024 during Ghislaine Maxwell's trial. The documents included an email Epstein sent in 2015, asking friends of Virginia Giuffre to disprove supposed allegations of Giuffre's that Hawking participated in an "underage orgy" in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein lived. Epstein said he "can issue a reward" to them if they can "prove her allegations are false". The email implies it was written in response to a "new version" of the claim regarding Hawking. Neither Giuffre nor anyone else has ever publicly accused Hawking, who died in 2018, of sexual misconduct
 
Keep it coming. I don't know if it will bring anyone here... but it is fascinating. I don't know if any of it is evidence of anything... but this guy somehow became nearly a billionaire, owned an island, a private jet, and had "friends" at the highest echelon of US government. If this points in the right direction and anyone at all is prosecuted for the crimes it is worth it IMHO. I have too many daughters not to care about this kind of thing.
 
Reid Hoffman is an American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, podcaster, and author. Epstein's scheduling records showed the LinkedIn co-founder visited Epstein's island in November 2014; a calendar entry listed a reminder of Hoffman's arrival in Fort Lauderdale followed by a flight to "LSJ", an apparent reference to Epstein's private island. Hoffman told The Wall Street Journal he visited the island once for an MIT fundraising trip and that his last interaction with Epstein was in 2015. The documents also contained email exchanges from 2015 and 2017, as well as scheduling records showing multiple Skype calls between the two in 2013 and 2014. In 2019, Hoffman stated his interactions with Epstein came at the request of then-MIT Media Lab Director Joi Ito for fundraising purposes; he said he regretted participating in any activity where Epstein was present. No victim of Epstein has made any public allegation of wrongdoing by Hoffman. In an interview in 2025, Ghislaine Maxwell stated she had never seen Hoffman with Epstein on a flight or "getting massages".
 
Jack Horner is an American paleontologist who formerly worked for Montana State University. Jack Horner visited a property owned by Jeffrey Epstein in New Mexico in 2012 and exchanged several emails with him thereafter. These messages contain expressions of thanks for hospitality received and suggest a possible financial or logistical support for some of Horner's scientific projects. In particular, Epstein had apparently expressed interest in funding Horner's "Dinochicken Project", a project aiming to reverse-engineer a prehistoric dinosaur with the DNA of a chicken
 
Joi Ito is a Japanese-American entrepreneur and former director of the MIT Media Lab. Ito received $1.7 million from Epstein, including $1.2 million for his own outside investment funds. Internal emails showed Ito and other Media Lab officials took measures to conceal the lab's relationship with Epstein; in one 2014 email, Ito asked development staff to record a $100,000 donation from Epstein as "anonymous". He twice traveled to Epstein's island in the Caribbean to seek donations. A separate October 2014 email showed Ito writing that a $2 million gift from Bill Gates had been "directed by Jeffrey Epstein"; a spokesman for Gates denied that Epstein directed any grant making for Gates and called the characterization "completely false". Ito resigned from MIT in September 2019, as well as from the boards of the MacArthur Foundation, the Knight Foundation, and The New York Times Company
 
Michael Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. An undated photograph released in December 2025 showed the singer posing with Epstein in front of a painting of a woman. It was claimed that Jackson did not know who Epstein was and the image dated from 2003, when he was viewing a houses in Palm Beach and Epstein's was on the market.

Another photograph showed Jackson with Bill Clinton and Diana Ross, with the faces of three children redacted. The latter image had been publicly available and was taken at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser "A Night at the Apollo", where Jackson and Ross performed; the redacted children were their own children—Jackson's Prince and Paris Jackson, and Ross's son Evan Ross. It is unclear why the photograph was in the files, and there is no suggestion that Jackson was aware of, or involved in, any of Epstein's crimes.
 
Thorbjørn Jagland is a Norwegian politician who served as prime minister from 1996 to 1997. In a 2014 email to Epstein, Jagland had planned a family trip to Little Saint James island. The trip was eventually cancelled because of the annexation of Crimea by Russia, which caused Jagland, who was secretary general of the Council of Europeat the time, to stay in Europe. Jagland was also the head of the Nobel Committee when he exchanged emails with Epstein. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said Jagland had exercised "poor judgement". Epstein told Jagland that he could advise Putin on how to talk with Trump. After the Council of Europe lifted his diplomatic immunity, in February 2026 Jagland was charged with "gross corruption" over his links to Epstein by Norway's Økokrimprosecution service
 
Jay-Z is an American rapper, businessman, and record executive. According to an FBI crisis intake form that was included in the January 2026 release of Epstein files, an anonymous victim alleged that, after being drugged and sexually abused, she woke up in a room with the rapper and Harvey Weinstein
 
John de Jongh Jr. is an American businessman and former governor of the United States Virgin Islands (2007–2015). Emails in the files show that from 2008 to 2009 Epstein paid the tuition for John de Jongh's children. The tuition invoices covered multiple universities and excluded room and board. After his wife, Cecile de Jongh, thanked Epstein in June 2009, Epstein described the payments as "a treat" and said "Its [sic] as if i had my own kids in college." Epstein also paid college tuition for a student identified as "Thomas", who was identified as the son of Jeanne Brennan Wiebracht, John de Jongh's former campaign accountant
