Pierre Omidyar is the founder of eBay and the Omidyar Network, a philanthropic investment firm focused on technology and social change. He has served as a Trustee of the Santa Fe Institute (EIN 85-0325494, $51.6M in assets) since at least 2020, a research organization that received significant multi-year funding from Jeffrey Epstein including documented gifts of $30,000 in 1999 and $100,000 in 2001. Epstein continued to cultivate the Santa Fe Institute as a venue for elite intellectual networking through at least 2011. Omidyar appears in 142 OCR-indexed Epstein case documents. These include guest lists for exclusive "billionaires' dinners" organized by literary agent John Brockman and Jeffrey Epstein, where Omidyar and his wife Pam were invited alongside Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Nathan Myhrvold, Sean Parker, Nick Pritzker, and other tech and science luminaries (EFTA01929775, EFTA01930930, EFTA02239084).
Emails show Epstein was directly copied on invitation threads for these events (EFTA02435967). Omidyar's role as a Santa Fe Institute trustee places him in the governance structure of one of the institutions most thoroughly documented in the EFTA corpus as having accepted Epstein funding and facilitated his access to scientists and academics.
