Leslie Wexner Net Worth - Pulptastic

What is Les Wexner’s Net Worth?

Leslie Wexner is a billionaire businessman who founded The Limited and expanded his retail empire to include Victoria’s Secret, Express, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Bath & Body Works.

However, Wexner’s reputation was severely damaged due to his long-standing relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein reportedly used his connection to Wexner to lure young women, and for unknown reasons, Wexner gave Epstein power of attorney over his affairs.

During their years working together, Wexner paid Epstein $200 million in fees, but later claimed that Epstein “misappropriated vast sums of money from me and my family.”

The scandal caused Wexner to step down from his company in February 2020, turning him from a lauded billionaire and philanthropist to a somewhat disgraced former mogul.

Wexner subsequently attended the Moritz College of Law at OSU for a brief time.

His father was a Russian-born Jew, while his mother, also of Russian-Jewish descent, was born in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Wexner has a younger sister named Susan.
