Jeffrey Epstein calls Bill Gates ‘cheap’ for leaving his mistress ‘broken’
The convicted pedophile sent the message to Gates’ adviser Boris Nikolic and appeared to refer to Russian bridge player Mila Antonova.
Epstein claimed: “She said she had little money, couldn’t afford air conditioning and was living on a friend’s couch. She really needed money.”
The late financier added that he had sent her “some” money, before revealing that Antonova – who reportedly dated Gates around 2010 – had been in contact with him.
He wrote: “Your friend Bill is crazy,” he told Nikolic. “His ex-girl can’t afford air conditioning, can’t afford to travel to the bridge.”
He noted that Antonova said Sharon Osbourne “arranged things for her” and that an unnamed attorney “helped her with papers.”
“She’s doing well, but she’s broke,” Epstein said, adding, “That story would take Trump off the front pages.”
Epstein wraps up the email to Nikolic, who previously served as Gates’ chief science and technology adviser, by reconnecting with the tech mogul.
“The richest man in the world is so cheap, his former bridge girl and toy is living on a friend’s couch. WOWO.”
Nikolic allegedly introduced Antonova to Epstein in 2013, with the pedophile paying for her to take a software coding course. In 2017, Epstein emailed Gates demanding he pay him back.
In 2023, a spokesperson for Gates admitted that Epstein, who was known to cultivate friendships with the ultra-rich to exploit them, had “unsuccessfully tried to leverage a past relationship” to threaten the business mogul into doing his bidding.
Registered sex offender Epstein wanted Gates to become an “anchor donor” in a multi-billion dollar global charity fund he planned to set up, to camouflage his sordid private life and increase his influence.
The pair had more than half a dozen meetings and Gates once flew on Epstein’s private jet, known as the “Lolita Express.”
Gates, 70, broke his silence this week on ties to Epstein, saying he was “foolish” to make contact with the sick man.
He said: “Every minute I spent with him I regret, and I apologize for doing so”, adding that he was “foolish to spend time with him” and is “one of many people who regret ever knowing him”.
“The more that comes out, the clearer it will be that while the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that type of behavior,” Gates added.
