Karyna Shuliak, a 37-year-old Belarus-born dentist, emerged from newly released investigative records as Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime girlfriend and one of the potential principal beneficiaries of his remaining fortune. Shuliak met Epstein in 2011, when she was 21 and living in New York on a temporary student visa, and remained close to him for nearly eight years. Epstein financed her education, helped her pursue a dental career and provided extensive financial support to her and her family. The records also indicated that he helped arrange her marriage to one of his female assistants after she encountered immigration problems, a marriage congressional Democrats later questioned as potentially fraudulent. Shuliak eventually obtained U.S. citizenship, while immigration authorities have not publicly challenged the legality of the process.

Shuliak was also the last person Epstein called before his death in federal custody in August 2019, and estate documents indicated that she could inherit as much as $100 million, along with a massive diamond ring and other valuable assets. The actual amount remains uncertain because Epstein’s estate has paid substantial compensation to survivors and incurred other expenses. The newly released records portrayed Shuliak as more than a casual girlfriend: she traveled with Epstein, coordinated household employees, supervised work at his properties and enjoyed broad access to his money. Despite that proximity, she has not publicly identified herself as a victim, has not been accused by federal authorities of participating in Epstein’s trafficking operation and apparently was never interviewed by the FBI or deposed by attorneys representing his survivors.
