Billionaire Lauder spotted on the rebound

Billionaire Leonard Lauder was spotted with a “beautiful brunette” in Palm Beach after recently calling off his engagement to Brooklyn Public Library head Linda E. Johnson.

The chairman emeritus of Estée Lauder, 81, was seen dining at hot spot BrickTop’s among a moneyed crowd that included billionaire Henry Kravis and his wife Marie-Josée, as well as Enterprise Rent-A-Car billionaire Jack Taylor, former Palm Beach mayor Lesly Smith, Texas oil mogul John Terwilliger and John and Marianne Castle.

Lauder has been lauded as society’s most eligible bachelor since his split with Johnson, 55, late last year.

The pair postponed their wedding last August days before they were to tie the knot, then split in December before a planned holiday party.
