George Soros
The Conspiracy Theories

George Soros is a Hungarian-born American financier and investor. Born to Jewish parents in Hungary in 1930, Soros and his family survived the Second World War by assuming a false Christian identity and changing their name from Schwartz. Soros fled Communist Hungary in 1947 and moved to the UK where he worked as a railway porter and studied at the London School of Economics, before working in merchant banks and moving to the United States. Soros’s subsequent success as a hedge-fund manager has made him one of the wealthiest men in the world. He is a major political donor, funding Democratic candidates and progressive causes in over 100 countries.
