Karyna Shuliak, a 36-year-old Belarusian national and dentist, stands to inherit a substantial portion of Jeffrey Epstein's fortune, according to his will and trust documents. Shuliak, who met Epstein in the United States in 2009, received financial backing for her dentistry studies and was named as the primary beneficiary in Epstein's 1953 Trust.

Epstein's will, signed on August 8, 2019, just two days before his death, details that Shuliak would receive $50 million. Additionally, she is set to inherit Epstein's properties on Little and Great Saint James islands, his Zorro ranch in New Mexico, his New York townhouse, and an apartment in Paris. The financier also bequeathed to Shuliak his collection of 48 loose diamonds and a nearly 33-carat diamond ring, which he described as being given 'in contemplation of marriage'.

Shuliak, who reportedly arrived in the U.S. in her 20s, obtained a U.S. dental license with Epstein's support. She has been described as an unusual figure in Epstein's circle and has been attempting to remain out of the public eye since his death.
