Filthy Rich

A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him, and All the Justice that Money Can Buy: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein

By: James Patterson, John Connolly, Tim Malloy

Narrated by: Jason Culp

Now a #1 Netflix documentary series. Get the full shocking story about billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in this #1 New York Times bestselling and definitive book.

Jeffrey Epstein rose from humble origins into the New York City and Palm Beach elite. A college dropout with an instinct for numbers — and for people — Epstein amassed his wealth through a combination of access and skill. But even after he had it all, Epstein wanted more. That unceasing desire — and especially a taste for underage girls — resulted in sexual-abuse charges, to which he pleaded guilty and received a shockingly lenient sentence.

Included here are police interviews with girls who have alleged sexual abuse by Epstein, details of the investigation against him, and a new introduction with up-to-the-minute developments on the case, including Epstein's death by suicide.

An explosive true story from the world's most popular thriller writer, Filthy Rich is a riveting tale of wealth, power, and the easy price of justice for America's wealthiest citizens.

YOU NEED TO KNOW

I was hesitant about getting this book but I am glad I did because it exposed Epstein and other wealthy people around him. Epstein was a disgusting, deplorable pedophile. I was just amazed how long this went on and even after he went to jail the first time...he got out and continued this lifestyle. And the jail time he got did not fit the crime. His butler got the same time in jail as he did...and he didn't do anything of the kind. He had knowledge of it...and he had to clean the sex toys after the parties...What a gross disgusting job! Anyway..the title fits this book. Filthy Rich!!!

Shame on Buckingham Palace. Andy...no, I won't call him a Prince. He is Pedophile Andy. And Elizabeth...not a Queen. Just a mom protecting her pedophile son. A disgrace! I wish them all the shame and embarassment that this caused them! But Andy didn't pay for his crimes and he should be prosecuted.

My heart goes out to all these young girls...they did not receive justice by seeing Epstein go to jail for the amount of time. I really question if he is truly dead or did he just buy the justice system again to fake his death and he is sitting on a beach somewhere still engaging in this???? Just a passing thought that went thru my head after listening to this book.

In the end, we should know about these people. I do not idolize these filthy rich, Hollywood types or the NFL and other sports players. They are just people...no better than anyone else. They just make alot of money but they are not smarter, they are not royal...they are less moral and live above the law.

unbelievable

yet free to continue to prey on these young girls.... money can buy anything..so sad

he leaves out a lot

how much did the author know and when did he know it. this guy is intelligence

Short of the whole truth

Good work on his history, but short of the whole truth. The whole truth is something that too many powerful people don’t want told.

Filthy Rich. J Patterson

I did not care for this book. The story was presented choppy and didn’t seem like much research was done. Other stories and documentaries on this subject are more complete with facts and presentation.

And He Gets Off (no pun intended)

This was a great book by Patterson! I am always amazed at our justice system and how some folks can simply buy their way out of their wrong doings, just as in this case. I so wished that this story was not true, as it was disturbing on so many levels. I do not know if I was more troubled by Jeffrey's actions, or the actions of Sara, and the other (young) ladies bringing minor girls to give Jeffrey a "massage". Why didn't the cleaning staff turn him in, knowing the what they knew and the dirty vibrators, sheets, and towels that they cleaned up after him??? EVERYONE of this is just as guilty as Jeffrey is.

Maybe there will be healing.

I loved the narration. The story of this sick man is awful to hear. I hope the young women harmed by him can heal.

Great Read

I loved it and the story is rivitting and frightening! Great narration! you should read it.

True Story

it was very interesting to read about some of the facts of Harvey Epstein himself and his life. What a Pig. Difficult to believe that people like him are still out there.
Enjoyed listening to the story, very informative and and like the fact that many true events,names, etc. we're redacted.

Proof That Those With Enough Money Can Do Anything

The book reads like a police report. It's shocking to learn that all involved (except for Epstein's apparent suicide) are corrupt and remain leaders in our current judicial system. Specifically, I found it shocking that Alan Dershowitz' involvement, not only as Epstein's attorney, but also as one of the sexual perpetrators of Epstein's under-aged girls. Especially, since he spoke on behalf of Pres. Trump's impeachment. It's simply appalling that these powerful individuals have escaped unscathed.
