Ghislaine Maxwell transferred £15million to her husband after they married in a move that could protect the majority of her wealth from being claimed by alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein, it has been reported.
The socialite handed most of her assets into a trust controlled by Scott Borgerson after they secretly married in 2016, according to documents filed at a New York court.
The 58-year-old is said to have had a net worth of £15million ($20.2million) in 2015.
Maxwell s alleged financial manoeuvring protects most of her wealth from being claimed in damages by women who allege she procured underage girls for Epstein, reports The Times.
