The favourite child of the crooked newspaper tycoon ‘Bouncing Bob’ Maxwell, New York based Ghislaine Maxwell has been described as “smart, funny, beaut[iful], kind and sarcastic” by a licensed massage therapist turned Palm Beach real estate broker named Alison Chambers. A qualified deep sea driver, private helicopter pilot and emergency medical technician, Marlborough and Oxford educated Maxwell had a yacht named in her honour but is now best known for her friendship with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In January 2015, Ross Gow, her spokesman, announced that she “reserves her right to seek redress at the repetition of claims” that she acted as a “madame” on behalf of her billionaire chum. Maxwell speaks four languages and claims to want to “dedicate the rest of [her] life to the ocean” through her TerraMar Project non-profit organisation.
