Italian businessman, currently Executive Advisor of BWT Alpine Formula One Team, former principal of the Benetton and Renault Formula One teams, and founder of the Billionaire nightclub chain with venues in Sardinia and globally. Briatore is listed in Epstein's black book with five phone numbers, among the higher contact-entry counts in the book, indicating a substantive rather than incidental social connection. He was a central figure in the international jet-set circuit that connected Monaco, Sardinia, London, and New York, moving in overlapping social circles with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Briatore had high-profile relationships with supermodels including Naomi Campbell, who also appears in Epstein's black book, and Heidi Klum. His presence in the same social environment as Epstein is documented across multiple documents and flight-adjacent records. Briatore was convicted of tax fraud in Italy in 2010, a sentence that was later reduced on appeal.
No allegations of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein's criminal activities have been made against him.
