Epstein was a money manager – he was paid lots of money to tell other people what to do with their money. That was his official business. He was wealthy and had many wealthy and connected clients.
His sex trafficking and prostitution business was more of a blackmail operation rather than a money maker in its own right. He deliberately hooked high profile wealthy and powerful people on his sex offerings, recorded them and collected other evidence against them. He used this information to obtain favors from his clients, extend his influence to other people by having his current clients set up prospective clients for the same sort of extortion, and keep the authorities at bay. At least until he couldn’t any more.
