Did Ghislaine Maxwell sacrifice her power for comfort?

Having come from extreme wealth, an elite upbringing and of course having grown accustomed to that lifestyle, it seems Ms. Maxwell was keen on maintaining it after the untimely death of her father. It’s alleged her relationship with Epstein was one of convenience, in which she exchanged her proverbial rolodex that consisted of powerful, privileged personnel for access to a life of comfort. Ghislaine was reportedly a brilliant woman. If this is so, is it possible she sacrificed this personal power in pursuit of the prestige associated with being romantically attached to a wealthy man?

Some powerful (and wealthy) people achieve their power because of an ability to manipulate people. Sometimes it's a multi-generational trait that gets passed from parent to child by example or osmosis. Also, growing up with manipulating parents would gravitate one towards other manipulative people. It appeared that Ghislaine was a very skilled manipulator.
