Did Leslie Wexner Take His Eye Off The Ball?

Retailing savant Leslie H. Wexner isn't the type to wax sentimental--even about the most sentimental of things. "Marriage?" he says. "I was kind of neutral about it. I figured if you meet someone and you fall in love, you get married. If you don't, you don't." Well, he did. In January, the 55-year-old chairman of The Limited Inc. married 31-year-old Abigail S. Koppel, a corporate attorney at Davis Polk & Wardwell. She has since given up her job at the prestigious New York law firm and now the two are talking kids.

Les Wexner is nesting. If ever there was a sign that the '80s are long gone, this is it. Of course, Wexner has embraced the current decade in his own inimitable style: The erstwhile bachelor billionaire didn't just buy a house for his new bride, he built a small town outside of Columbus, Ohio, and nestled into a 60,000-square-foot mansion.
