In the wake of Virginia Giuffre’s tragic death, her estranged husband Robert quietly positions himself to claim a share of her multi-million estate, deepening the rift over the fortune tied to her Epstein revelations.
Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, left behind an estate built largely from civil settlements stemming from her allegations against Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew. She received $500,000 from Epstein in 2009, an undisclosed sum from Ghislaine Maxwell in 2017, and a reported multi-million payout—estimated up to $16 million—from Prince Andrew in 2022, without admission of liability.
Giuffre died intestate, without a valid will, triggering Australian intestacy laws in Western Australia. Her estranged husband Robert, married to her since 2002 but separated amid a contentious divorce initiated months before her death, could legally claim up to one-third of the estate plus a lump sum.
Court proceedings in Perth reveal a bitter dispute. Giuffre’s sons, Christian and Noah, applied to administer the estate, valued in filings at around $472,000—including properties, vehicles, and memoir royalties—but widely believed to be far higher due to settlements. They face challenges from Giuffre’s lawyer Karrie Louden and carer Cheryl Myers, who cite informal wills excluding Robert, supported by her U.S. brothers.
Giuffre’s diary and emails expressed fears Robert would squander funds meant for their three children, alleging controlling behavior. Some assets may be in a family trust co-directed with Robert, complicating access. Questions linger over “missing millions,” with family suspecting transfers during the marriage.
Robert has remained silent, his lawyer calling her death tragic. The battle underscores trauma’s lasting impact, as Giuffre’s hard-won justice now fuels family division.
