Leslie Wexner financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein disclosed

In July 2019, public reporting revisited the long-standing financial relationship between billionaire retail executive Leslie Wexner and financier Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner granted Epstein broad financial authority in the 1990s, including power of attorney, allowing Epstein significant control over assets and real estate transactions.

Wexner, a prominent political donor and philanthropist with extensive international ties, later stated that Epstein had misappropriated funds and severed ties with him prior to Epstein’s first criminal case. While Wexner has longstanding relationships within Israeli political and institutional circles, no evidence has been presented that he participated in or had knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct. The relationship is documented through legal filings, property records, and financial disclosures.
