Leslie "Les" Wexner is an American billionaire businessman, best known as the co-founder and chair emeritus of Bath & Body Works. He has been a major figure in the retail industry, having served as the principal owner of prominent brands including Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, and La Senza. His career has made him one of the most influential figures in modern American retail.
Wexner's notability extends beyond his business success to his complex associations. He was previously a client and associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a connection that has drawn significant public and media scrutiny over the years. This relationship has been a persistent subject of interest in various legal and financial investigations.
Recently, Les Wexner has been mentioned in news reports concerning the release of documents related to Epstein's estate. Concurrently, his name has appeared in headlines connected to the Ohio State University Richard Strauss sexual abuse case. In late 2025, attorneys for the abuse victims sought to subpoena Wexner for testimony, although these legal efforts were reported as being unsuccessful. These developments have kept him in the public eye.
