About George Soros

George Soros is a hedge fund tycoon who managed client money in New York from 1969 to 2011.

In 1992, Soros shorted the British pound and reportedly made a profit of $1 billion. He became known as the man who broke the Bank of England.

Soros shifted $18 billion from his family office to his Open Society Foundations as of 2018.
