$2 Million
Ghislaine Maxwell’s net worth is estimated at $10–$20 million, based on a 2013 internal assessment by JPMorgan Chase and FBI financial disclosures cited during her criminal proceedings. Maxwell is a British-American former socialite and now a convicted federal prisoner, serving a 20-year sentence at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, following her December 2021 conviction on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Updated March 2026: According to reporting by The Times (UK), a 2013 JPMorgan Chase internal assessment valued Maxwell’s assets at over $10 million. The U.S. Department of Justice imposed a $750,000 fine at sentencing in June 2022. No updated independent wealth assessment from Forbes or Bloomberg has been published since her incarceration.
Ghislaine Noelle Marion Maxwell was born on December 25, 1961, in Maisons-Laffitte, France, the ninth and youngest child of media mogul Robert Maxwell and Elisabeth Maxwell. She grew up in England, attending Edgarley Hall preparatory school, Oxford High School for Girls, and Marlborough College before earning a Bachelor of Arts in Modern History with Languages from Balliol College, Oxford, in 1985. Her father, Robert Maxwell, was one of the most powerful media proprietors in Britain and a Member of Parliament; his November 1991 death — he fell from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine — left behind a collapsed business empire and billions in pension fund fraud. Shortly after his death, Ghislaine relocated to New York City, where she built an independent social identity among the city’s elite.
Before her association with Jeffrey Epstein became her defining public identity, Maxwell held several professional roles. In the 1980s she served as a director of Oxford United Football Club, a position held by her father. She worked at her father’s publication The European and helped found the Kit-Cat Club, a women’s social organization in London. After moving to New York, she founded the TerraMar Project in 2012, an ocean conservation nonprofit that she dissolved in July 2019, one day after Epstein’s arrest. The TerraMar Project gave her access to the United Nations and international diplomatic circles.
Maxwell’s primary role during the period covered by her criminal case was as a close associate, recruiter, and operational partner of financier Jeffrey Epstein, enabling his sexual abuse of underage girls from approximately 1994 to 2004. According to DOJ filings, Epstein paid her a salary beginning at $25,000 annually, rising to $250,000 per year, and wired approximately $30 million to her over the course of their relationship. She was arrested on July 2, 2020, convicted on December 29, 2021, and sentenced to 20 years in prison on June 28, 2022.
Ghislaine Maxwell was secretly married to tech executive Scott Borgerson in 2016. Borgerson, who ran the maritime data firm CargoMetrics, divorced Maxwell in 2021. Maxwell has no known children. She holds British, French, and American citizenship — the latter acquired in 2002. As of March 2026, Maxwell is incarcerated at Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan, a minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas, to which she was transferred in August 2025 amid controversy over what critics called preferential treatment. In February 2026, she appeared before Congress for a deposition regarding the Epstein document releases, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights. Also in February 2026, she contested the unsealing of approximately 90,000 Epstein-related documents through legal filings.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s net worth is estimated at $10–$20 million, based on a 2013 JPMorgan Chase internal financial assessment and information disclosed during her criminal proceedings, as reported by The Times. Her assets include money received from Jeffrey Epstein ($30 million over the course of their relationship), an inheritance stream from her father Robert Maxwell, and real estate holdings. A $750,000 court fine was assessed at her 2022 sentencing.
Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence at Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas, a minimum-security facility. She was transferred there in August 2025. Her projected release date, absent any successful appeal, is in the early 2040s. As of February 2026, she continues to pursue legal challenges, including a pro se habeas corpus petition filed in December 2025.
Ghislaine Maxwell was born on December 25, 1961, in Maisons-Laffitte, France. As of March 2026, she is 64 years old. She is the youngest of nine children born to British media mogul Robert Maxwell and his wife Elisabeth Maxwell.
Ghislaine Maxwell was secretly married to tech executive Scott Borgerson, the CEO of maritime analytics firm CargoMetrics, in 2016. Their marriage was not publicly revealed until reporting emerged during Maxwell’s criminal proceedings. Borgerson filed for divorce in 2021. Maxwell has no children.
On December 29, 2021, a federal jury in New York convicted Ghislaine Maxwell on five counts: sex trafficking of a minor, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and related conspiracy charges. She was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison on June 28, 2022, by U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan, per the Department of Justice.
According to financial records examined during Maxwell’s trial, Jeffrey Epstein wired approximately $30 million to Maxwell over the course of their relationship. Her salary from Epstein started at $25,000 annually and rose to approximately $250,000 per year by the late 2000s, per information presented at sentencing. Additionally, Epstein funded Maxwell’s lifestyle, travel, and housing during much of the period covered by the indictment.
