The New Albany Estate
Les Wexner owns a large estate in New Albany, Ohio, where he has been based for decades. During the period of his closest relationship with Epstein (approximately 19872007), Epstein held sweeping power of attorney over Wexner’s affairs and was closely involved in the management of his properties.
Epstein’s Operational Role
Reports indicate that Epstein was involved in matters ranging from real estate decisions to staff management across Wexner’s portfolio of properties. The depth of this access, combined with a million discrepancy in Wexner’s accounts, has been the subject of ongoing scrutiny.
Wexner’s Accounting
Wexner has stated that he was defrauded by Epstein and that he cut ties with him after discovering the financial misconduct. He has not provided a full public accounting of how Epstein’s access extended to the New Albany estate.
