Mega Edition: Leon Black And His "Rap" Performance (3/16/26)

Leon Black’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein spanned decades and has been a source of sustained scandal. Black, cofounder of Apollo Global Management, paid Epstein at least $158 million (and recent investigations suggest as much as $170 million) between 2012 and 2017 for tax, estate planning, and art-collection services. Black has acknowledged that working with Epstein was a “horrible mistake” and said he deeply regrets their association. Nonetheless, his payments and closeness to Epstein have invited intense scrutiny about what Black knew — or should have known — about Epstein’s criminal network. Meanwhile, congressional and regulatory probes have sought to uncover the full extent of their financial entanglements and whether Black’s use of Epstein’s services was beyond mere professional consults.

In addition to the financial scandal, Black’s ties to Epstein have been tangled with serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Multiple lawsuits accuse Black of rape, including claims that in 2002, when introduced by Epstein, he assaulted a 16-year-old autistic girl in Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse. One prominent lawsuit filed by Cheri Pierson accused Black of attacking her in Epstein’s home; that lawsuit was later dismissed. Black has denied all criminal wrongdoing, asserting consensual relationships and rejecting claims against him as false. These overlapping allegations and financial links with Epstein have undermined Black’s reputation, led to his resignation as MoMA board chair and Apollo executive, and triggered ongoing legal and reputational battles.
