Leon Black is a prominent American private equity investor and former CEO of Apollo Global Management, who co-founded the company in 1990 with [[marc-rowan|Marc Rowan]] and [[josh-harris|Josh Harris]]. Black's career has been marred by controversy, particularly due to his business ties to the late financier [[jeffrey-epstein|Jeffrey Epstein]]. He has also served as the chairman of the [[museum-of-modern-art|Museum of Modern Art]] from 2018 to 2021. Black's resignation from both Apollo Global Management and the Museum of Modern Art was prompted by revelations about his extensive payments to Epstein for tax and estate-planning services, which have raised questions about the nature of their relationship.
