Leslie Wexner: 1993

eslie Wexner, the richest man in Ohio, is a proud midwest- L erner. Born into the rag trade (Wexner's parents were /Russian-Jewish immigrants), he grew up to be a straight shooter taciturn and camera-shy. _

For several years running, his 315-foot boat, the Limitless, was the largest yacht owned by an American.

Wexner's employees loved him, and he was known to be fiercely loyal to them.

In time, he'd come to see the same qualities in Jeffrey Epstein.

"Everyone was mystified as to what [Epstein's] appeal was," says Robert Morosky, a former vice chairman of the clothing retailer the Limited, founded by Wexner.

"Almost everyone at the Limited wondered who he was," another former employee of Wexner's recalls. "He literally came out of nowhere."
