Who is Marc Rowan in the Epstein files?

Marc Rowan is the co-founder and current CEO of Apollo Global Management, a major private equity firm. The Epstein files show he had documented contact with Jeffrey Epstein between 2013-2016, primarily involving business discussions about Apollo's tax arrangements and a potential private jet sale. Rowan succeeded Leon Black as Apollo CEO in 2021 after Black resigned amid revelations of paying Epstein $158 million for financial advice.

What kind of meetings did Marc Rowan have with Jeffrey Epstein?

The documents show multiple scheduled breakfast meetings at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in January 2016. The most documented meeting was on January 14, 2016, when Rowan and his colleague Imran Siddiqui met with Epstein. According to reports, Epstein was consulted on Apollo's tax arrangements and proposed strategies he claimed could save Apollo's co-founders up to $300 million. There were also discussions about Epstein potentially buying Rowan's private jet.

How does Marc Rowan's connection to Epstein compare to Leon Black's?

Marc Rowan's documented connection appears significantly less extensive than his Apollo co-founder Leon Black's relationship with Epstein. Black paid Epstein $158 million between 2012-2017 for tax and estate planning advice and saved at least $1.3 billion in taxes using Epstein's strategies. Rowan's interactions appear limited to business meetings about Apollo's tax affairs and a potential aircraft sale. However, both Apollo co-founders consulted Epstein on tax-related matters for the firm.

Did Marc Rowan respond to revelations about his Epstein connection?

Yes. Rowan's spokesperson stated that 'Mr Rowan met with the CEO of Edmund de Rothschild bank at a meeting in 2016 arranged by Mr Epstein that Mr Epstein did not attend.' This contradicts some email evidence showing multiple planned meetings at Epstein's residence, though the spokesperson's statement may refer to a specific meeting where Epstein arranged but did not attend.
