Who were the other unnamed abusers, like "billionaire #1" or "billionaire #2", etc. in Virginia Giuffre'Ss book?
Executive summary
Virginia Giuffre’s memoir names Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew as abusers while explicitly withholding the identities of other men she says she was trafficked to, citing fear of ruinous litigation and threats; journalists and some outlets have reported lists of high-profile attendees at Epstein events but Giuffre’s book does not definitively name “billionaire #1” or “billionaire #2” as perpetrators [1] [2] [3]. Reporting shows her co‑writer says she knows the names and possesses recordings in which men were named, but publicly available text of the memoir stops short of naming most alleged abusers, and legal filings and prior unsealed documents contain only partial, contested identifications [4] [5].
1. What the book actually names and what it withholds
Nobody’s Girl gives detailed first‑person accounts of abuse by Epstein and Maxwell and repeats Giuffre’s long‑reported allegation against Prince Andrew, yet the memoir also acknowledges that Giuffre deliberately did not name several other men she says she was trafficked to — describing some only by role, such as a “well‑known Prime Minister” or a “former minister” in different editions — and explaining she feared litigation and other reprisals if she identified them [1] [3] [2].
2. Why names were withheld: explicit legal and safety concerns
Giuffre wrote that some men threatened to “use litigation to bankrupt” her, and that she feared financial and personal retaliation; this motive for restraint is presented in the memoir itself and echoed in contemporary coverage noting her fear of naming additional abusers [2] [3]. Reporters and her co‑author also relay that Giuffre worried about the impact on her family, which the book frames as a reason for selective naming [2] [6].
3. Who media and commentators have suggested or listed — and the difference between attendance and accusation
Several outlets and aggregator pieces have reported names of prominent people who attended Epstein’s gatherings or were part of his social circle — lists that have included figures such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Kevin Spacey, Matt Groening and others — but those media lists largely catalogue attendees and high‑profile associations, not direct accusations in Giuffre’s memoir; the book itself does not present those men as identified abusers by Giuffre in the published text [7] [8]. Distinguishing between documented accusations in Giuffre’s legal filings or memoir and broader reporting about attendees is essential: some media summaries conflate the two, which can mislead readers [7].
4. The co‑writer’s public statements and claimed extra‑textual evidence
Amy Wallace, Giuffre’s co‑writer, has said in interviews that she knows the names Giuffre intended to list and that she possesses recordings in which men were named, and Wallace suggested audiovisual material exists that goes beyond the memoir’s printed names [4]. Those claims, reported by NewsNation and others, indicate there may be corroborating material not published in the book, but the public record accessible through the memoir and mainstream reporting does not reproduce those alleged tapes or a comprehensive list [4].
5. What prior court filings and unsealed documents add — and their limits
Earlier lawsuits and unsealed filings have identified or suggested several figures in connection with Epstein, including naming Prince Andrew and raising claims about attorneys and others in depositions and filings; Giuffre’s earlier manuscript and litigation filings referenced an individual identified as “Eppinger” in her unpublished work, and court records have contained contested accusations that later produced joint stipulations or retractions in some cases, underscoring the contested and legally fraught nature of many identifications [5].
6. Bottom line, caveats and where reporting currently stands
The memoir confirms certain named abusers and documents Giuffre’s fear of naming others, while public reporting and some commentators have circulated lists of prominent men tied to Epstein’s social orbit; however, the book itself does not furnish a released, verified roster of “billionaire #1” or “billionaire #2,” and claims about additional named figures rest on co‑author statements, prior litigation materials and media compilations rather than an explicit, comprehensive list published in the memoir [1] [4] [5]. Reporting to date is clear about this boundary: readers seeking definitive public identifications of the unnamed abusers will find the memoir signals more than it spells out, and further verification would require access to the extra‑textual tapes or unsealed evidence Amy Wallace references, or new legal disclosures [4] [5].
