At the age of 37, he takes over the billion dollar empire… Who is Alexander Soros?
George Soros, 92, who is seen as one of the living legends of the business world, announced his decision that shocked many people recently and said he would now entrust the business to his son.
Although it surprised some that Soros chose his son Alex as successor to his $25 billion empire, the famous businessman said Alex had it coming. However, it was not easy for Alexander Soros to become the favorite of his father.
According to the Times report, Soros, who began to develop a closer relationship with his father when he joined the Open Society’s Board of Foundations in 2011, still couldn’t help but go on nights out with models and NBA players.
For a long time, the press referred to the young Soros as the “party boy”. This situation necessitated a new branding period. His thesis entitled “Heine, Nietzsche, and Literary Politics” at the University of California also highlighted his intellectual side in this process.
Seeing himself as far more political than his father, Alex pointed to more donations to left-wing political candidates in a recent interview.
According to White House visitor logs, Alex has been to the White House 17 times since December 2021. He also plans to continue running Soros’ Open Society Foundations and support causes like abortion rights that his father championed.
