partneri n 1980. In 1982, Epstein founded his own financial management firm, J. Epstein & Co.,
managing the assets of clients with more than a billion in net worth. In 1996, Epstein changed the
name of his firm to The Financial Trust Company and based it on the island of St. Thomas in the

Leslie Wexner. His wealth has come from his days at Bear Steams and his financial management
firms
