Ghislaine Maxwell’s 8 Siblings Ranked Oldest to Youngest

The Maxwell name has sent seismic waves throughout the ruling class. The convictions against Ghislaine and her partner in crime, Jeffrey Epstein, have peeled back the layers to the seedy underbelly of the world of money and power placed with the most financially and politically powerful people.

Ghislaine Maxwell stood as one of the figureheads and puppeteers for an intricate crime syndicate involving child sex trafficking and the blackmail of world leaders in every industry. Parties on private islands, espionage,  blackmail, political corruption — it is the stuff of conspiracy poured out on the world stage.

With her current trial, there is so much to uncover about the evil nature of the whole operation.

With the Maxwell name becoming more relevant than ever before since the passing of Jeffrey Epstein, we thought it would be interesting to learn a little more about the mysterious Maxwell siblings, starting with the oldest down to the youngest.

9. Michael Maxwell (1946-1967)

Michael Maxwell was the oldest of the Maxwell siblings. He can be seen in the image above in the back row furthest to the left.

Not many details are known about Michael because of his untimely passing. Conflicting reports online place his death somewhere between 21 and 23-years-old.

Did You Know?

Michael Maxwell was the victim of a devastating car crash on an Oxfordshire road that put him in a coma at 15-years-old. Unfortunately, the injuries were too severe, and he never regained consciousness, dying several years later in 1967.

8. Philip Maxwell (1948 – Present)

Philip Maxwell was known as a brilliant scientist and mathematician, evidenced by his ability to receive a scholarship to Balliol College in Oxford at just 16-years-old. However, his hatred for his overbearing dad (Robert) greatly overshadowed his academic achievements and the pride he should have felt for his accomplishments.

Philip left home for Argentina to escape and start a new life. The relationship between Robert and Philip fractured beyond repair when he married a woman named Nilda, against his father’s wishes. They later divorced. Their daughter, Marcella, went to live with her mother.

Did You Know?

The latest news heard on Philip’s whereabouts came in 2021. He lives somewhere in a flat in North London, living quietly and focused on writing.  

7. Anne Maxwell (1949 – Present)

Anne Maxwell’s life is mysterious, much like the rest of the Maxwell family, for obvious reasons. What we know is that she is a former actress. Maybe “former” because of her father’s continuous lack of support and bullying.

During a period of professional struggle, rather than shower her in unconditional love and support, all she got was negativity and demeaning remarks.

Did You Know?

Her father’s reaction to her failing acting career was: “What have you and Pope John Paul II got in common? You’re both ugly, and you’re both failed actors.”

6. Isabel Maxwell (1950 – Present)

Isabel Maxwell is the co-founder of Magellan, an American web portal dedicated to providing outsourced content like news, weather, and other topics that might engage visitors. Isabel struck gold with the software during the internet boom. Later, her company was bought by Excite.

She served as President of CYREN, an Israeli internet company, and the Director of Israel Venture Network.

Did You Know?

Technology isn’t the only field of interest for Isabel. She has produced and directed documentaries, starting in 1973 with her first film adaption of the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull. By 1981, she moved to San Francisco to continue her pursuits as a documentary filmmaker. Ultimately, she returned to her roots to collaborate with her twin sister Christine to work at an internet data company in 1990.

5. Christine Maxwell (August 16, 1950 – Present)

Christine Maxwell is the younger 71-year-old twin of Isabel. Like her sister, she’s regarded as a British internet pioneer and educator, co-founding Magellan alongside her sister.

She’s also the co-founder of the software company Chiliad and the current Program Manager of Learning Technologies at the University of Texas in Dallas.

In 2019, Christine became the director of The Environment4Change Foundation. It is geared toward environmental consulting and is based out of London.

Did You Know?

Christine married an acclaimed physicist, astronomer, and Executive Editor of Leonardo Publications Roger Malina. They have three children and split time between their home in France and Dallas where they currently work.

4. Karine Maxwell (1954-1957)

Karine Maxwell tragically passed away at just 3-years-old.

She would have been 68-years-old as of 2022.

Did You Know?

Karine passed due to leukemia.

3. Ian Maxwell (1956 – Present)

Ian Maxwell is the co-founder of a think tank dedicated to the fight against Jihadist terrorism. Ian had a similarly contentious relationship with his publishing tycoon father.

By the 1990s, Ian faced charges for criminal financial malpractice through his associations with him. He was later acquitted.

Far before Ghislaine buried the Maxwell name six feet underground, the family was no stranger to turmoil and bad press, thanks to the actions of their criminally involved father. Business opportunities for the family at this point were relegated overseas.

Did You Know?

In 1991, Ian married former college basketball star and American fashion model Laura Marie Plumb. The two separated in 1996, with Ian remarrying three years later to Tara Dudley Smith.

2. Kevin Maxwell (1959 – Present)

Kevin Maxwell, unlike his siblings, had an unapologetic reverence for his dad. He was devastated by his death and has said that he “missed his presence and ability to dominate.”

Like father like son. In 1992, Kevin followed in his father’s criminal footsteps by becoming the owner of his unique financial crime charges! He was caught stealing millions of dollars from the Maxwell empire’s employee pension fund. Soon after, he became Britain’s biggest ever bankruptcy case.

Did You Know?

One bankruptcy wasn’t enough to satisfy Kevin’s thirst for financial turmoil, declaring a second time! After receiving a discharge from bankruptcy in 2005, he moved into the property business.

1. Ghislaine Maxwell (December 25, 1961 – Present)

Ghislaine Maxwell is the youngest of the Maxwell siblings. 

On top of being the youngest, she’s undoubtedly the most recognizable since being indicted for sex trafficking of a minor, criminal sexual activity, and conspiracy, among other horrific things.

On June 28, 2002, Ghislaine was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for her crimes. 

Ghislaine was a prominent figure in the London social scene and worked for her father until his death in 1991. After his death, she moved to New York, living a lavish lifestyle while cultivating a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

At times it was romantic, and other times it was professional. What we now know is that at all times, it was truly evil and the catalyst for a tremendous amount of suffering that the public is still yet to uncover. 

Did You Know?

It was revealed as recently as December 2020 that she had married CargoMetrics CEO Scott Borgerson in 2016.
