Kelly Killoren Bensimon, the Real Housewives of New York City star (2009 to 2011) and Douglas Elliman Rookie of the Year (2021), likes to read The Wall Street Journal “Mansion” section on TikTok. (“It is time for your Wall Street Journal “Mansion”-report wrap-up,” she says before reading.) This week, she is wrapping up Jeffrey Epstein’s islands, which recently saw a price reduction after being on the market since March (someone will probably eventually buy the islands despite everything).
“Oh my gosh, the real Scary Island,” Killoren Bensimon says while looking at her phone (St. John, now infamous in the RHONY canon, was previously the Scary Island). “We have Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean island, available for $55 million each,” she says before adding breezily, “I love St. James. It is beautiful, by the way.” She then moves on to wrap up the sale of the late Betty White’s home (“We love you so much”).
