Not far from the Horseshoe, home stadium of the Ohio State Buckeyes, the name looms in bold white letters: Wexner.
That would be Leslie Wexner, the billionaire behind L Brands Inc. and a man who towers quietly over all of Columbus. His name adorns the colossal brick-and-glass medical center at Ohio State University, his alma mater. His foundation generously endows Jewish community leaders. His money has flowed to the arts, military veterans and more.
