Inside the Resignation of Tom Pritzker Amid Epstein Revelations (2/18/26)

Tom Pritzker, the billionaire executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels and a prominent member of the Pritzker family, announced his immediate resignation as executive chair following revelations in newly released files tying him to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The disclosures showed that Pritzker maintained contact with Epstein well after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex crimes, including email exchanges and interactions with Epstein’s inner circle. In his resignation letter to Hyatt’s board, Pritzker acknowledged exercising “terrible judgment” in not distancing himself sooner and said he deeply regretted the association, stressing that protecting Hyatt’s reputation was his top priority. He also confirmed he would not seek re-election to the board at the company’s upcoming annual meeting and that CEO Mark Hoplamazian would take over as chairman.

Beyond the corporate fallout, Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre had previously named Pritzker in court filings connected to her trafficking lawsuit against Epstein and Maxwell. In depositions released in the years after Epstein’s death, Giuffre alleged that she was trafficked to and had sexual encounters with Pritzker at Epstein’s direction—claims he has vehemently denied. Those allegations, while never resulting in criminal charges, were part of the wave of unsealed documents that put scrutiny on Pritzker’s ties to Epstein and helped fuel the pressure leading to his resignation.
