He continued his career at Wertheim & Co, where he worked as an analyst.

Sometimes his net worth value stood at $25 billion, but the fact that he transferred $18 billion to his charity foundation Open Society Foundations which works in more than 100 countries. He made his money from investing in various projects and also Soros Fund Management.
From grass to grace, Soros rose from being a mere salesman to being a CEO for his own company earning millions of shillings. Even after changing his name to a billionaire, he didn’t forget where he came from as he donates to the poor and gives scholarships through his initiatives.
Hedge funders essentially steal from others. His generosity is only a gimmick for siphoning money out of essentially every country on this planet. I say this glam adoration of this criminal is nothing but propaganda for those ignorant enough to believe it. Tell him and his gangsters to leave the world alone. Doesn’t he have enough money? Why destroy the planet with lies just to gain control of the world when he is 90 years old and hopefully will die soon. When I say die I mean die for he will never move onto a greater world. His evil should die with him.
Couldn’t agree with you more! He is pure evil and is being fully used by Satan…
He’s a disciple of saten and his band of idiots that are incapable of nothing but distroying, spreading his blood money all over the globe to the fascist organization the open society is ALL about. Burn in hell Soros and your little follewers.
let it be, most of success person, no body will like them until RIP but how about you if success or become billionaire in other field do you think that all the people around you will like you ,i don’t think so.
The Bible tells us Money is the root of all Evil. This man just is showing us all what it meant.
My only comment is that MR Soros is certainly a gifted businessman. He cam from a humble begging as a young ambitious man. I don’t agree 100% with some of the other posts. I don’t think making money is always evil or that hedge fund managers are all criminals.
With this all said I do not understand why MR Soros has vigorously supported extremely liberal District Attorneys in multiple large US cities. I believe that these extremely left wing soft on crime prosecuting attorneys are the root cause for the rapid decline of many US cities. Just look at Los Angeles.
So I have never heard of MR Soros being accused of any crimes but I sure wish he had to live in LA and experience the lawlessness society that he has in my opinion had a role in the cause.
