SOCIALITE Ghislaine Maxwell is widely known for her high profile and controversial connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew.
Sleuths have called Maxwell’s net worth into question, as many people wonder how she acquired her wealth and gained her prominence in the upper class social scenes.
What is Ghislaine Maxwell’s net worth?
Ghislaine Maxwell held a high distinction in the high society thanks to her notable wealth.
With a fortune as large as Maxwell’s, sleuths have questioned how she amassed her riches and what she does for a living.
Per Celebrity Net Worth, she is worth $20 million.
Maxwell acquired her wealth from her father, the late business tycoon Robert Maxwell.
Is Ghislaine Maxwell married?
It was first alleged Scott Borgerson was Maxwell’s secret husband after her matrimonial status was revealed on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, as Manhattan prosecutors accused her of purposely hiding her wealth, reports the New York Post.
Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe told Manhattan federal Judge Alison Nathan: “The defendant also makes no mention whatsoever about the financial circumstances or assets of her spouse, whose identity she declined to provide to Pretrial Services.”
Maxwell later told court chiefs that she had tried to file for a divorce before her arrest so her husband wouldn’t suffer from “being associated with her.”
It came after Borgerson had been linked to the $1million New Hampshire mansion where Maxwell was snared by the FBI.
The court previously heard how Maxwell is claimed to have purchased her bolthole with an ex-military man named “Scott”.
Both “Scott” and Ghislaine – going by the name “Jen” – also used the same surname “Marshall”.
Borgerson has always denied their relationship, saying they are just old friends.
