Early life and education

Black is a son of Eli M. Black (1921–1975), a Jewish businessman who emigrated from Poland as a child (surname, "Blachowitz") and was the chairman and later majority owner of the United Brands Company. His mother, Shirley Lubell (sister of Tulsa oil executive Benedict I. Lubell) was an artist.[6] In 1975, his father committed suicide.[6][7]

Black received an AB in philosophy and history from Dartmouth College in 1973 and a MBA from Harvard Business School in 1975.[6] He served on the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth College from 2002 to 2011.[8] In 2012, Black gave US$48 million toward a new visual arts center at Dartmouth College.[9]

Career

Black started out as an accountant at Peat Marwick (which later became KPMG) and with the publisher Boardroom Reports. He also interviewed at Lehman Brothers but was told he did not have the brains or personality to succeed on Wall Street.[3] From 1977 to 1990, Black was employed by investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert, where he rose to managing director and head of the Mergers & Acquisitions Group, and co-head of the Corporate Finance Department.[10] At Drexel, Black was regarded as "junk bond king" Michael Milken's right-hand man.[11]

In 2009, Black contributed $60 million in a settlement with Huntsman Corporation after Apollo was sued for backing out of a merger the previous year.[12] In 2021, Black stepped down as CEO and chairman after Dechert LLP, which had been retained several months earlier by Apollo to investigate Black's dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, published a report finding that Black had paid $158 million to Epstein between 2012 and 2017 for advice on taxes and estate planning.[13][14][15] In 2022, Black included Josh Harris in a civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuit, alleging that he led a group within Apollo attempting to tarnish his reputation after his ties to Epstein were reported.[16] Federal judge Paul Engelmayer dismissed the suit for lack of evidence, with an appeals court upholding the decision in 2023.[17][18]

Personal life

Black is married to Debra Ressler,[19] a 1976 Barnard College graduate and Broadway producer and sister of Ares Management co-founder Antony Ressler.[20][21][22] They have four children.[23] One of their children, Ben, runs an investment fund.[24] Debra Black is a melanoma survivor. In 2007, the couple donated $25 million to form the new Melanoma Research Alliance.[25] Leon and Debra both serve on the board of the organization.[26]

In 2018, he was elected chairman of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. His term commenced on July 1, 2018.[3][4] His term as chairman ended on July 1, 2021, and he did not seek re-election, in the wake of protests from dozens of artists and activists over his financial ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.[5][27]

Jeffrey Epstein relationship

In 2019, Black stated that he maintained a "limited relationship" with Jeffrey Epstein.[28]

In 1997, he made Epstein one of the original trustees of what is today the Debra and Leon Black Foundation.[29] In his 2020 letter to Apollo investors, Black said that Epstein provided him with "estate planning, tax and philanthropic advice" to his "family partnership and other related family entities".[30] The New York Times reported that Black had paid Epstein at least $50 million for such services from 2012 to 2017.[29] Black did not at the time confirm the $50 million sum reported by The New York Times, but did say that he paid Epstein "millions of dollars annually for his work".[31] In October 2020, Black requested that the Apollo board conduct an independent review of his relationship with Epstein, and it retained the law firm Dechert LLP to do so.[32][33] Black has said that he "deeply regrets" his relationship with Epstein.[34]

The review conducted by Dechert LLP was released on January 25, 2021. It showed that Black had paid Epstein around $158 million from 2012 through 2017 for financial services.[35] Using Epstein's tax avoidance strategies, Black claims he saved at least $1.3 billion.[36] Black pledged his intention to donate $200 million to women's initiatives.[37][38] In 2023, Black paid $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to be released from claims related to Epstein.[39] In July 2023, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee made public that it is investigating Black's tax strategies and dealings with Epstein.[40]

Sexual misconduct accusations

In March 2021, Guzel Ganieva claimed in a series of tweets that "I was sexually harassed and abused by [Black] for years [and ultimately] forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement under duress". Black stated that he had engaged in a consensual affair with her.[41][42] The matter has resulted in lawsuits and countersuits.[43][44] Ganieva further alleged that Black introduced her to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and tried to force her to have sex with them.[45]

The law firm that represented Ganieva also represented another accuser, Cheri Pierson, who accused Black of raping her in 2002 in Jeffrey Epstein's mansion in New York City.[46] Black denied these claims.[47] On July 25, 2023, a lawsuit was filed against Black, alleging that he raped a 16-year-old girl with autism and Down syndrome in Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in 2002.[48][49] Black's attorney called the accusations "frivolous and sanctionable".[50]

Book publisher

In 2012, Black acquired Phaidon Press, a fine art books publishing house.[51]

Art collection

 
The Scream by Edvard Munch

In May 2012, Black purchased of one of the four versions of Edvard Munch's The Scream. He paid $119.9 million for the pastel, then the highest price ever paid for a work of art.[52] In September 2012, the Museum of Modern Art announced the work would be exhibited for a six-month period starting in October.[53]

In June 2013, it was revealed that Black had purchased Head of a Young Apostle, an 11-inch-wide (28 cm) work by Raphael for £29 million after a four-party bidding war.[54]

On December 22, 2015, it was reported that Black purchased at auction a complete set of the Daniel Bomberg Babylonian Talmud for $9.3 million.[55] According to a press release from the Sotheby's auction house, the sale was "a new world auction record for any piece of Judaica."[56]

In June 2016, a lawsuit over the Picasso sculpture Bust of a Woman (Marie-Thérèse) between the advisory firm Pelham Europe and art gallery owner Larry Gagosian was settled. Pelham Europe, an agent for a member of Qatar's royal family, and Gagosian, who had resold the bust to Black, both claimed ownership. The case was settled by Maya Widmaier-Picasso, the owner of the sculpture. The settlement included Black getting the sculpture and Widmaier Picasso paying Pelham an undisclosed amount.[57]
