BILLION  SELF-MADE SCORE: * SOURCE: PRIVATE EQUITY AGE: 68 RESIDENCE: NEW YORK CITY PHILANTHROPY SCORE: The private equity magnate was named in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal this summer when news broke that tax filings for his family foundation listed Epstein as a director until 2012, four years after he pleaded guilty to Florida prostitution charges. The foundation said the disgraced financier was let go in 2007 and only appeared on its tax filings due to a recording error. Black later sent an email to employees explaining that he was unaware of Epstein’s conduct when he appointed him. Black cofounded private equity giant Apollo Global Management in 1990.
