Leon Black, co-founder of private equity firm Apollo Global Management, had documented financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein that came to light following Epstein's 2019 arrest. According to court documents and Black's own admissions, he paid Epstein at least $158 million between 2012 and 2017 for what Black described as tax and estate planning advice. Black has acknowledged being included in Epstein's flight logs and meeting with him regularly during this period, but has denied any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities or any wrongdoing on his own part. The revelations about these business dealings contributed to Black stepping down as Apollo's CEO in 2021.
