Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton are on the guest list along with Barack and Michelle Obama and several European prime ministers connected to George Soros' grantmaking foundation Open Society, a source told Page 6.
Some of the couple's A-list guests will be flown by helicopter from Manhattan for the festivities, which famed Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, banker James Rothschild and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt are also likely to attend.
The big day will come after the lovebirds were set to host an exclusive rehearsal dinner, catered by Marie Eiffel, at Soros' mother's abode on Shelter Island Friday.
Liberal power players like the Clintons are expected to attend the wedding.The politically connected power couple got engaged in New York City last May after meeting at a birthday party thrown by Rothschild for his wife, Nicky Hiltonin, in the fall of 2023.
They later celebrated the engagement with a trip to Italy.
Before meeting Abedin, Soros, who sits on the investment committee for Soros Fund Management, had long been a bachelor, he told New York Magazine in April.
'I hadn't been in a relationship for a very long time — ten years or something like that — that had lasted for more than three months. And it's, like, the first time I realized I had been mistaking lust for love,' he said of their romance.
'There's a certain kind of stability and comfort,' Abedin said of the likeminded nature of their relationship.
George Soros, whose estimated net worth is $7.2 billion, has been a major donor to liberal campaigns, organizations and causes.
Earlier this year, the couple sent emerald green cards to friends declaring, 'Please save the date for the wedding celebration of Huma Abedin and Alex Soros,' on 'Saturday, June 14, 2025,' adding, 'Invitation to follow.'
Weiner, who has a 13-year-old son with Abedin, will not attend the wedding.

Anna Delvey Bunny Photoshoot Controversy Explained
Last week, Anna 'Delvey' Sorokin shared a series of now-viral photos from an outdoor shoot with live bunnies. Anna — who was found guilty in 2019 of multiple fraud charges, including second-degree grand larceny and theft of services, after pretending to be a wealthy German heiress — held the two rabbits on a leash as she posed around New York and flaunted her ankle monitor. This sparked a heap of backlash under Anna's post, with several internet users calling her out for using the animals as 'photo props' and allegedly 'dumping' them right afterwards. Now, Anna has addressed the uproar in a lengthy Instagram statement. 'As many of you are aware, I recently did a shoot with Jasper Soloff involving live rabbits. Christian Batty, a member of the hair team I briefly met during a fashion week event last year, responded that he knew someone who could lend us bunnies for a few hours,' she wrote. 'I later discovered that, instead of borrowing animals from a legitimate source like he claimed, he had obtained them via Facebook Marketplace and intended to release them into Prospect Park, a plan of which I had no knowledge. The idea that someone would compromise the well-being of innocent animals for personal networking opportunities is deeply disturbing to me,' Anna claimed. Anna later shared a series of alleged screenshots of texts between herself, Christian, Jasper, and publicist Kelly Cutrone. In the alleged messages, Jasper appeared to ask Christian if the rabbits they used were the same animals that were abandoned, to which Christian seemingly admitted that he had 'dumped' the bunnies. 'I was panicking with bunnies. That's the reason I dumped them,' he allegedly wrote after claiming that the original owners of the rabbits had 'blocked' him when he attempted to contact them to return them after the shoot. We'll keep you posted if anything else unfolds. Let us know what you think in the comments.
