Leslie Wexner's connection to the Romanoffs; Jeffrey Epstein’s mysterious temple and Victoria’s Secrets revealed
'Deconstructing Wexner' Part Two, a series by Kirby Sommers
A cold gray mist hung in the air like a silent roar on the November morning in 2001 when Bella Wexner’s 93-year-old body, in a casket, was loaded onto Jeffrey Epstein’s 727—known as the ‘Lolita Express’. Even then, Bella wasn’t ready to depart. She’d inhaled her last breath on a narrow bed in New York’s Mount Sinai hospital. The bustling city had been her home since 1992, after abandoning her son’s lavish estate on Via Los Ingas in Palm Beach (later purchased by Leon Black—Epstein’s second largest benefactor). Bella’s Manhattan manse was just steps away from Epstein’s. It had once belonged to her son—as had the plane carrying her corpse. Her only male offspring, who inherited her demons and given her the status she felt was her birthright, hadn’t bothered to be at her bedside as she slipped from time to eternity.
