That island would have cost a billion dollars to set up. Not even Bill Gates has that kind of money to throwaway, so the only reasonable surmise is that it was a government operation.

If Bill Gates was going to spend a billion an island, he would probably go live there.

The current value of Epstein’s island is $64,000,000. Not a billion, and chump change for a billionaire.

Uh, that's less than one percent of his wealth. A billion would go into his net worth one-hundred and twenty-six times. I think he could spare it.

How do you get a billion for that?
