American billionaire, chairman and CEO of the L Brands
Les Wexner was Jeffrey Epstein's most significant financial patron and only publicly confirmed client, granting him sweeping power of attorney in 1991 and transferring to him Manhattan's largest private residence — their two-decade financial relationship is one of the most extensively documented connections in the Epstein files, with Wexner appearing in over 1,000 documents alongside Epstein.
Wexner appears prominently across high-signal document types: court depositions in which a witness states Wexner 'has relevant information' but would not 'tell you the truth'; legal filings detailing Epstein's acquisition of Wexner's 71st Street mansion and financial management role; personal correspondence between Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein discussing media coverage of the Wexner-Epstein business relationship; and investigative journalism excerpts describing Epstein as Wexner's money manager whose empire included Victoria's Secret. Multiple documents reference Wexner as Epstein's sole identified client and 'mentor and main patron,' and an alleged extortion plot involving attorney Alan Dershowitz and money from Wexner surfaces in legal declarations. The mentions are substantive and central to understanding how Epstein built his wealth and social standing.
