George Soros, a multibillionaire investor and philanthropist, is giving his son Alexander control of his $25 billion empire. 

The Wall Street Journal was the first to reveal the handover of authority from the 92-year-old hedge fund manager turned philanthropist to his 37-year-old son.

The Open Society Foundation (OSF), a nonprofit organisation established by the elder Soros in 1997, is already chaired by the younger Soros. He was chosen by the board in December of last year. 

Although the elder Soros had previously opposed giving any of his five children management of OSF, he remarked of Alex, “He’s earned it.” 

According to its website, the organisation operates in more than 120 nations and has given more than $19 billion to organisations that support democracy and human rights.

It was not anticipated that Alex, the eldest of Soros’ two children from his second marriage, would take over the family business. According to the publication, he grew up mindful of how wealthy his family was.

The third child of Soros’ first marriage, Jonathan, was supposed to succeed him. However, Jonathan had “a change of heart,” and he and his father “had a falling out” due to their divergent personalities. Alex’s destiny was made clear by his departure from the family financial company.

Alexander Soros stands at a height of 180 cm or 5’11” tall and is aged 38. Nothing is known about his wife or relationship status.

According to the media outlet, the new Soros overseer is a self-described centre-left thinker who is “more political” than his father. In spite of his desire to see money removed from politics, Alex plans to continue contributing to left-leaning political candidates and causes through the family’s political action committee, Democracy PAC.
