A billionaire tech mogul, formerly associated with Bill Gates, informed Jeffrey Epstein that he had welcomed Vladimir Putin's "wife and daughter" on his luxury superyacht, according to messages between Epstein and former Microsoft chief technology officer Nathan Myhrvold, 66, which were revealed in documents related to the US Justice Department's investigation.
In correspondence dated October 27, 2010, Epstein asked Myhrvold a direct question: "Did you have Putin on your boat?"
Myhrvold responded with a short answer: "his wife and daughter."
Myhrvold has previously denied having a “personal relationship” with Epstein, despite documentary evidence that they exchanged messages and met regularly. Myhrvold has previously said through a representative that she knew Epstein exclusively through TED talks and his support of scientific research, noting that she regrets ever having met him. The exact time and location of the alleged yacht visit are still uncertain.
The email does not specify which of Putin's daughters may have been there, and there appears to be no other public record confirming that the Russian leader's family was on the boat. Putin's ex-wife, Lyudmila Putina, now 68, married the Russian leader in 2010, and their marriage ended three years later.
They had two daughters, Maria Vorontsova, a medical researcher, now 40, and Katerina Tikhonova, a technology executive and academic, 39.
Apparently, the reference in the Epstein dossier refers to Lyudmila and one of these girls.
However, in 2010, Putin had another daughter with his “unofficial wife” Svetlana Krivonogikh, now 50, a cleaner who became a multimillionaire. At the time, his daughter Louisa Rozova, now 23, would have been seven years old.
In 2010, Putin was also in a relationship for at least three years with Russian Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, who is now 42. The couple, who have two young sons, are not known to have had any daughters.
The yacht mentioned in the email appears to be the Teleost, a 160-foot-long luxury vessel owned by Myhrvold, worth about $15 million, built by Dutch shipbuilding company Feadship.
The reason why Epstein was asking about Putin remains a mystery.
Putin's name appears more than 1,000 times in Epstein's recently released files, although there is no evidence that the two ever met.
The documents reveal that Epstein discussed Russia with various contacts and tried to arrange meetings with powerful figures linked to Moscow.
Myhrvold himself also had indirect connections to Russian political networks.
The resurfaced email linking Putin’s family to Myhrvold’s yacht does not indicate that they ever met Epstein. But it does provide a glimpse into the interconnected networks of powerful figures in technology, politics and finance that Epstein sought to cultivate. Neither the Kremlin nor Myhrvold’s representatives have publicly responded to the email correspondence.
