richest-person-in-very-state-30

Victoria’s Secret boss Les Wexner has been a giant of the retail world for the last half century. Over the years he has built up some of the most famous brands in the American mall, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Lane Bryant, Limited Too and Express. The son of a small store owner who grew up in Columbus, Ohio, Wexner opened his own store, which he named the Limited for the narrow selection of items he sold. He paid $1 million to buy Victoria’s Secret in 1982 when it was a nearly-bankrupt chain of six shops and made it what it is today. He still runs the lingerie giant, which now it has more than 1,000 stores across the country and is quickly expanding abroad, opening up wholly-owned stores in England and franchised locations in the Middle East and Asia.
