Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late media mogul Robert Maxwell, is described as having a tragic life after her father's death. She was seen shredding documents aboard his yacht shortly after his death, but the Maxwell family denied this and Jackson has never retracted his version. Ghislaine was heartbroken after losing her father and had to deal with people saying negative things about him. At Oxford, she was described as having a frumpy image until she met Count Gianfranco Cicogna, who helped her shake off that image. After the break-up of their romance, Ghislaine moved to New York where she rented a one-bedroom flat on the Upper East Side and began reinventing herself. She was not destitute as her father had bought her a pretty mewshouse in South Kensington worth £500,000 and provided her with an annual income of £80,000 through a trust fund. In New York, she became a celebrity and made friends with the rich and famous. However, there was outrage when Ghislaine was photographed boarding Concorde at Heathrow after her father's death as his retirees had just been told their pension payments were being stopped. It is also mentioned that she met Jeffrey Epstein in New York, who was a mysterious figure and no one really knew where he got his money from.
