Michael Bloomberg (born February 14, 1942) served as Mayor of New York City from 2002 to 2013 and is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the global financial data and media company. He ran unsuccessfully for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Bloomberg's name appears in Epstein's black book. A flight log entry from August 5, 2001 documents Bloomberg aboard Epstein's Boeing 727, traveling from New Jersey to Palm Beach alongside Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Sarah Kellen, prior to Epstein's 2008 conviction. DOJ documents released in 2025-2026 and reporting by The Reload reveal that Bloomberg had more contact with Epstein and Maxwell than was previously known.
In September 2010, Epstein's assistant obtained Bloomberg's contact information from Maxwell and sent an invitation to a party Epstein was hosting for former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Epstein described himself as "a long-time supporter of Bloomberg" in a written communication. In 2013, Bloomberg and Maxwell were photographed together at a book party at the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City.
Epstein was invited to Bloomberg-organized or Bloomberg-attended events including a screening for Katie Couric's documentary "Fed Up" in 2014, a cocktail party for the film "The Imitation Game" in 2015, and a Bloomberg-hosted fundraiser for U.S. Virgin Islands Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett in 2018. Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, which later processed transactions for Epstein, invited both Epstein and Bloomberg to previews of the Frieze London art show in 2017 and 2018. Maxwell's mother wrote in a 2003 email that she knew Bloomberg personally and had lunch with him. No allegations of wrongdoing have been made against Bloomberg in connection with Epstein. The available emails do not contain direct correspondence between Bloomberg and Epstein, and there is no evidence Bloomberg visited Epstein's private island or residences.

Background
Michael Bloomberg is an American billionaire businessman, philanthropist, and politician who founded Bloomberg LP, a global financial data and media company. He served three terms as Mayor of New York City from 2002 to 2013. His fortune has been estimated by Forbes as among the largest in the United States, and he was described as 'the richest man in the room' at a social event documented in the case files (efta-efta01682184). He has been involved in various policy and philanthropic efforts, including co-authoring a fiscal reform foreword with George P. Shultz, Paul Volcker, Richard Ravitch, and John Doerr in February 2011 (d-31086), and personally funding the creation of charter schools in New York City (efta-efta01898219).
Bloomberg's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's contacts and in documents related to overlapping elite New York social circles. He was mentioned in a 2016 political context as having declined to run on a third-party presidential ticket for fear of splitting support from Hillary Clinton (d-14450). He also wrote letters to the Senate Judiciary Committee on unrelated political matters (efta-efta00150597) and provided political commentary in Bloomberg Opinion (efta-efta00149112). No allegations of wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein have been made against him in any of the reviewed documents.
Epstein Connection
Bloomberg's connection to the Epstein case is limited to his appearance in Epstein's so-called 'Little Black Book,' which contained contact numbers for Bloomberg among many other high-profile individuals (d-15246, efta-efta01297437). He also appeared on a DOJ-produced list of names (d-9121). Bloomberg was listed as a co-host or featured attendee at the New York Observer 25th Anniversary event on March 14, 2013, to which Epstein was also formally invited by publisher Jared Kushner (d-24889, d-26499, d-26813, d-26959, d-28414). An April 10, 2013 email from Jeffrey Epstein asked a recipient to 'please send me michael bloombergs contacts' (efta-efta01896266). Wikipedia printouts found in the case files listed Bloomberg as one of Epstein's contacts alongside Rupert Murdoch, Richard Branson, Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin, and the Kennedys (efta-efta00263107, efta-efta00261990). Separately, financial documents reference an entity called 'Willett' as being associated with Bloomberg (efta-efta01427132, efta-efta01381027), and Bloomberg LP appeared on what appears to be a client or contact list alongside an individual named Stewart Oldfield (efta-efta01426406). None of these connections involve any allegation of participation in or knowledge of Epstein's criminal conduct.
