British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has become one of the most prominent and mysterious figures linked to late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died by apparent suicide in a Manhattan jail on August 10.

Born in France, Maxwell is the daughter of British media mogul Robert Maxwell.

In England, Maxwell was an Oxford-educated socialite.

In 1991, Maxwell's father, Robert, died while cruising on his yacht that was called the Lady Ghislaine, after his daughter.

Maxwell moved to the US in 1991, living off a $100,000-a-year trust fund set up by her father.

Soon after she moved to New York, Maxwell reportedly began a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell is said to have introduced Epstein to many of her high-flying friends.

Maxwell reportedly introduced Epstein to Bill and Hillary Clinton, who she knew through their daughter, Chelsea, according to Politico. Maxwell was a guest at Chelsea Clinton's wedding in July 2010.

Maxwell's social life wasn't confined to New York City.

Until 2016, Maxwell lived in a $5 million New York townhouse bought by a company with the same address as Epstein's business office.

The townhouse Maxwell lived in is about six blocks from Epstein's former home on 71st Street.

For seven years, Maxwell operated an ocean conservation non-profit organization, which was abruptly shut down in July 2019.

Through a private foundation, Maxwell has donated to various charitable organizations — including a charity for sex trafficking victims.

Maxwell's current whereabouts are unknown and authorities have had trouble locating her, The Washington Post reported.
