GHISLAINE Maxwell became known worldwide for her association with the prolific paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

But what do we know of her personal life and her family? Here is everything we know.

Who are Ghislaine Maxwell's siblings?

Disgraced British media mogul Robert Maxwell married Frenchwoman Elisabeth "Betty" Meynard in 1945.

The couple had nine children: Michael, Philip, Ann, Christine, Isabel, Karine, Ian, Kevin and Ghislaine.

However, Robert and Betty suffered two tragedies with their children, as Karine died aged three of leukaemia.

Michael was severely injured in a car crash, after his driver fell asleep at the wheel, with the Maxwell child dying seven years later having never regained consciousness.

Who is Kevin Maxwell?

Kevin is the fourth son of Robert and Elisabeth Maxwell.

He spent the majority of his working life before 1991 working for his father.

After his father died, it emerged that there were financial troubles in the Maxwell publishing empire that Kevin was a part of.

In 1992 Kevin filed the largest personal bankrupt declaration in UK history claiming debts of £406.5million.

In 1996 he was tried and was acquitted of fraud charges arising from his role in his father's empire.

He recently set up a think-tank with his brother Ian called Combating Jihadist Terrorism with the aim of better understanding terrorism and its causes.

Who is Christine Maxwell?

Christine and Isabel are twin sisters.

Christine began her career like the rest of her male siblings working for one of her father's publishing companies.

After her father's death she founded an IT company called Magellan.

Christine and her sister sold the company making millions.

Now the 69-year-old and her husband, the physicist Roger Malina, are thought to be living in Texas, where he teaches at the University of Texas. 

Christine is a doctoral candidate in philosophy at the university, according to their website.

Who is Isabel Maxwell?

Unlike the rest of her family, Isabel spent the early 70’s working in the television industry making documentaries. 

She co-founded the company, Magellan, with her sister and made millions when they sold the company to Excite.

She has been married three times. 

Who is Ian Maxwell?

Ian along with Kevin joined the family publishing business.

He was appointed Chairman of the Mirror Group Newspapers following the death of his father in 1991.

On 3 December 1991, Maxwell and his brother Kevin resigned from the board of Maxwell Communication Corporation.

Following the disclosure that "many millions" of pounds had been transferred from the Mirror Group pension fund to Robert Maxwell's private companies.

In 1992, Ian and Kevin were arrested and charged with conspiracy to defraud others of millions of dollars.

In 1996 they were both acquitted.
