First, it is important to note: there is no single, official, or court-certified "list of Epstein's clients." Many names have emerged through various channels, including:

• Flight logs for his private jets (the "Lolita Express").
• Court document excerpts from lawsuits, particularly those related to Virginia Giuffre and other accusers.
• Witness testimony excerpts from victims and employees.
• Information from the unsealing of documents from defamation cases, most notably the 2024 release of documents from the Giuffre v. Maxwell case.

The term "client" is also problematic. Many individuals on flight logs or visitor logs were colleagues, friends, business associates, or celebrities he was cultivating. A "client" typically implies someone who sought his illegal services, which is an allegation only against a subset of his associates.

The following is a compilation of the most famous and frequently mentioned names associated with Epstein, presented in a "most famous-first" order, with a concise context.
