Another such name is Les Wexner, chairman and CEO of the L Brands corporation, the parent company of brands including Victoria’s Secret.
Who is Les Wexner? Leslie H. Wexner is the chairman and CEO of L Brands , a retailing and marketing conglomerate that currently includes Victoria’s Secret, Pink, and Bath & Body Works. He is one of America’s longest-serving CEOs, and his net worth is a reported $4.8 billion. Wexner told Vanity Fair that he and Epstein “frequently discuss[ed] world trends,” Epstein being skilled in “seeing patterns” in politics and financial markets, Wexner in lifestyle and fashion.
That said, a spokeswoman for Wexner told the Times on Monday that he “severed ties” with Mr. Epstein about a decade ago. A representative for Wexner reiterated this to the Cut on Tuesday as well. Epstein also once owned a luxury estate near Wexner’s in Ohio. According to a new report by the Times, Maria Farmer claims that Epstein sexually assaulted her in Wexner’s Ohio mansion in the summer of 1996. She filed the report earlier this year in federal court in Manhattan.
