- Les Wexner founded L Brands, a global retail empire that included Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, and served as CEO for more than 5 decades."
- Wexner announced in February 2020 that he would step down and sell a majority stake in Victoria's Secret for $525 million to a private equity firm.
- In late April, Sycamore Partners said it wanted to back out of the deal. L Brands initially sued but agreed to terminate the deal in May.
- His ex-confidant and financial manager Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sex trafficking; in mid 2019 Wexner said the late Epstein took funds from him.
- Wexner got his start in 1963, when he used a $5,000 loan from his aunt to open The Limited, which sold only fast-moving items like shirts and pants.
- He bought Victoria's Secret for $1 million in 1982, when it was just a small, failing chain of lingerie shops in San Francisco.
