George Soros passes $25B torch to millennial seed Alex, who vows: ‘I’m more political’

June 11, 2023 | | Print Article

The world’s spookiest dude, George Soros, 92, has officially passed the torch to his millennial son, Alexander “Alex” Soros, who vows he will continue to use his dad’s $25 billion empire to fund left-leaning politicians in the United States.

“We think alike,” Alex, 37, said of his father to The Wall Street Journal in his first interview since taking the Soros reins. “I’m more political.”

According to The Journal, the younger Soros “recently met with Biden administration officials, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and heads of state, including Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to advocate for issues related to the family foundation.”

“The Soros super PAC, Democracy PAC, has backed the election campaigns of district attorneys and law-enforcement officials seeking to reduce incarceration rates and racial bias in the justice system,” the outlet notes.

As BizPac Review has repeatedly reported, the results of that funding have been devastating to liberal-led cities across the country.

In Manhattan, Soros-backed District Attorney Alvin Bragg has focused his energy on getting former President Donald Trump as the Big Apple drowns in violent crimes.


On the West Coast, Soros-backed California DA George Gascon allowed a repeat offender to repeatedly get diversion instead of jail time. Jade Simone Brookfield went on to murder an innocent father of two.


And in Missouri, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, whose campaign was at least partially financed by George Soros, was forced to resign after a teen volleyball player visiting from Tennessee was struck by a speeding car, causing her to lose both of her legs.

The man driving the vehicle that hit her, Daniel Riley, was a robbery suspect who had violated the terms of his bond 94 times since 2020 but was somehow out of jail when he plowed into the young athlete.


Indeed, at least six large cities have seen crime spikes after the election of liberal prosecutors backed by groups that have received funding from billionaire megadonor George Soros, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found in February.


In December, the Open Society Foundations (OSF) board, which funnels roughly $1.5 billion each year to various groups that purport to support human rights, education, and democracy building, elected Alex as its chairman, replacing his father.

“Alex also now directs political activity as president of Soros’s super PAC,” The Journal reports, adding that “$125 million” of the Soros fortune “has been set aside for the super PAC.”

“As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too,” Alex said in response to the prospect of Donald Trump returning to the White House in 2024.

As the oldest of two sons from his father’s marriage to his second wife, Susan Weber, Alex was long considered to be a bit of a playboy.

“For years, Alex gained media attention largely for attending parties in such locales as the Hamptons and Cannes,” according to The Journal. “He was photographed with celebrities, including Usher and model Chanel Iman, a former girlfriend.”

“Alex used to come to [OSF] board meetings,” said Aryeh Neier, who served as president of OSF from 1993 to 2012, “but he hardly spoke.”

That changed in 2015, when Alex took a full-time role at OSF.

“He worked with George’s longtime adviser, Michael Vachon, and others, to hone his public speaking and political skills,” The Journal reports. “He emerged as his father’s deputy.”

It was Alex, the outlet writes, who “worked with Democrat Stacey Abrams to improve voter turnout in the South.”

Alex said he is more focused on domestic politics than his father. He “is helping Democrats appeal to Latino voters and improve turnout among Black voters. He has urged Democratic politicians to better hone their message, broadening the party’s appeal.”

“Our side has to be better about being more patriotic and inclusive,” Alex said. “Just because someone votes Trump doesn’t mean they’re lost or racist.”

Good to know.

According to Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union — a recipient of OSF funding — Alex, as the head of the Soros empire, is likely to have a friendlier image than that of his dear old dad.

“Alex,” Romero predicted, “is unlikely to be the boogeyman that George Soros was for the right.”
