Ohio richest person: Les Wexner

COLUMBUS – Limited founder Les Wexner is Ohio’s richest person, according to rankings by Forbes.com.

One of the nation’s longest-serving CEOs, Wexner is worth a report $6.2 billion, an empire that grew from one small store he opened in Columbus in 1963.

Wexner bought Victoria’s Secret for $1 million in 1982, when it was just a small, failing chain of lingerie shops in San Francisco.

Today the brand hauls in $7.7 billion in revenue a year.
