Inside Alex Soros and Huma Abedin's summer wedding plans
Alex Soros, the son of billionaire George Soros, will soon wed his fiancée Huma Abedin as insiders have revealed details about their special day. The couple, who met in the fall of 2023, are set to tie the knot on June 14 in the Hamptons, an insider told Page Six. Some of their guests will be flown in by helicopter from Manhattan, New York to the lavish $14.5 million Soros family estate in Southampton, sources told the outlet. Their guest list is filled with many prominent political figures, including the Clinton family, as Abedin served as Hillary's former aide. Along with Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and her husband Marc Mezvinsky, Anna Wintour is also supposed to attend the nuptials, the insider dished. Abedin and Soros' wedding will also be covered in Vogue, they added. The Democratic insider, 48, and the younger Soros, 39, who chairs the board of his father's Open Society Foundations, got engaged in the summer of 2024. Shortly after their big day, they were spotted celebrating their love in Italy, Page Six previously reported. The couple confirmed their engagement on Instagram shortly after the outlet published their story, with Soros writing: 'this happened…we couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love.' Abedin was previously married to disgraced New York politician Anthony Weiner. They share a son named Jordan who had his bar mitzvah last week, insiders said. Weiner will not be attending his ex-wife's upcoming wedding, but he said he's 'thrilled' for the new couple, per sources. It will be the first marriage for Soros, who has been named as the heir to his father's $25 billion empire. Those close to the scion have long wondered if Soros would settle down and wave goodbye to his bachelor life, as he himself even claimed he 'had been mistaking lust for love' for many years before meeting his bride-to-be. '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,' Soros told New York Magazine in April. A close friend of theirs told the outlet they 'compliment' each other well. 'Her [Abedin] superpower is making every room she is in kind of run better, smoothing out the rough edges, remembering something about everybody. And that complements Alex,' they revealed. Abedin has described her relationship with her husband-to-be 'a bit of a surreal experience.' 'It's a little bit of a surreal experience to be in a relationship with Alex. I had never imagined I would meet someone whose life so seamlessly blended with mine,' she gushed. 'To have this kind of peripatetic life in politics and public service, this constant state of preparing for the next election, preparing for the next campaign, preparing for the next conference — I don't have to explain anything to him and vice versa. 'It's not unusual for me to turn around at 4 a.m. and Alex is not there: He's on a call, dealing with some crisis,' she said, adding that it provides 'a certain kind of stability and comfort' in their relationship. The romance between the pair comes seven years after Huma divorced her former husband Weiner - who was engulfed in a number of high-profile scandals. Weiner was caught on multiple occasions sending explicit snaps to various women - even during his political campaigns. But he failed to learn from his missteps and was later sentenced to 21 months in prison after he began sexting a 15-year-old girl. Abedin, who had initially stood by him, eventually decided to pull the plug and the pair went their separate ways. She wrote about the harrowing experience in a 2021 memoir titled Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds. In it she revealed that she didn't lose her virginity until she was with Weiner at 32-years-old. 'I had my heart broken, dragged out, stomped on, humiliated. I lived with shame, in shame, for so long,' she told The Cut in a 2021 interview before the release of her memoir. 'In hindsight, I was in extreme trauma.' She was previously rumored to be dating Bradley Cooper for a short spell in 2022 - reportedly arriving at the Met Gala that year with The Hangover star before parting ways to keep their cover. The Soros heir, on his part, was known as a rich kid who threw lavish parties before shedding his playboy image. His ascent to the head of George's Open Society Foundations (OSF) was seen as something of a shock decision, particularly as it saw him usurp his older brother Jonathan in a corporate battle. Details of their highly anticipated wedding come just days after Soros shared a post expressing sympathies for the young Israeli diplomat couple who were shot dead by a pro-Palestinian activist Wednesday night in Washington D.C. Soros angered many when he posted his thoughts on the killing of Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American, who were a young couple about to be engaged. They were shot dead while leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum by Elias Rodriguez, 31, who according to police yelled, 'Free, free Palestine' after he was arrested. Soros wrote Thursday: 'The murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky at the Capital Jewish Museum was evil in its most basic form. This brutal antisemitic act must be condemned in the strongest terms.' Many online expressed their fury at what appeared to be hypocrisy from one of the left's leading benefactors. 'Alex Soros unclear how funding rabid Jew-hating organizations and individuals could lead to the killing of Jews,' wrote Joanne Mason. Another X user wrote: 'You and your father fund the mayhem in America and elsewhere. SO, perhaps you should sit this one out.' 'Bro do you own a mirror,' added another. Soros' Open Society Foundation is alleged to give money to causes and groups sympathetic to Palestine and leftist organizations that hate the existence of Israel, according to Fox News.

George Soros' son slammed after condemning killing of Israeli embassy staffers outside DC museum: 'Their blood is on your hands'
(Source: X) Alex Soros, the son of billionaire George Soros, is under fire online because he condemned the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC. Soros is accused of funding groups opposing Israel through his Open Society Foundation. In a post on X, Alex Soros called the murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky 'evil in its most basic form' and said the 'brutal antisemitic act must be condemned in the strongest terms.' The two embassy employees, who were engaged to be married, were shot dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday. Despite Soros's condemnation, social media users accused Alex Soros and his father, George Soros, of being responsible for the killings, claiming the billionaire funds such groups. Many also accused him of hypocrisy due to his foundation's support for radical anti-Israel organisations. Washington police arrested 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who allegedly fired on the victims after pacing outside the museum. Reports say Rodriguez shouted 'Free, free Palestine!' while in custody. 'Alex, you and your father created this problem through the ruthless and international silencing of critics to open borders policies,' wrote one user on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo 'Their blood is on your hands as much as their murderers. We will never forget.' Another X user added, 'You are behind the hate, so excuse us if you don't wish to hear from you on the matter.' Others claimed Soros funds extremist organisations connected to the shooter. One user asserted that Soros 'funds the revolutionary Marxist group the shooter belonged to,' though details of Rodriguez's affiliations are unclear. 'Son is a replica of his father' Alex Soros, as chair of the OSF, has supported multiple left-wing groups that have criticised Israel, reports the New York Post. In 2023, Israel's minister of diaspora affairs, Amichai Chikli, told Fox News Digital that Soros seems to follow his father's anti-Israel agenda. 'When asked if Soros would continue to fund anti-Israel entities that bash the Jewish state, Chikli said it 'looks like the son is a replica of his father. We have no expectation that his son will be a big Zionist.'' Chikli said that OSF funds Human Rights Watch, an organisation that 'is attacking Israelis heavily, labelling Israel as an apartheid state, and working to delegitimise and demonise it.' The Soros foundation reportedly also supports Palestinian groups in Israel, such as Adalah, which Chikli said denies 'the vision of Israel as a Jewish state' and promotes a 'vision for Arab society in Israel' that challenges the country's identity. George Soros himself has come under harsh criticism. Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, condemned the elder Soros for donating more than $15 million to NGOs accused of supporting Hamas. 'George Soros' donations to organizations that seek the destruction of the State of Israel as a Jewish state is shameful. However, I am not surprised,' Erdan said in December 2023. He accused these groups of backing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to isolate Israel and has 'never been about real peace or any solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.'

Alex Soros blasted for condemning shooting of Israelis while funding anti-Israel groups
Advertisement Far-left progressive billionaire Alex Soros is being slammed online for his statement condemning the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers despite funding anti-Israel groups through his Open Society Foundation (OSF). Soros, who is the son and heir to George Soros' fortune and philanthropic empire, condemned the killings in an X post, saying 'the murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky at the Capital Jewish Museum was evil in its most basic form' and that 'this brutal antisemitic act must be condemned in the strongest terms.' Milgrim and Lischinsky, two Israeli Embassy staffers who were set to be engaged, were killed outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night.

Billionaire Alex Soros shares post to condemn the killing of Israeli embassy staffers... then gets blasted for glaring contradiction
Billionaire megadonor Alex Soros is taking heat after expressing sympathies for a young Israeli diplomat couple who were shot dead by a pro-Palestinian activist. The son of longtime liberal sugar daddy George Soros, in 2023 his father handed over much of his fortune and the chairmanship of his Open Society Foundations. Soros angered many when he posted his thoughts on the killing of Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American, who were a young couple about to be engaged. They were shot dead while leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday evening by Elias Rodriguez, 31, who according to police yelled, 'Free, free Palestine ' after he was arrested. Soros wrote Thursday: 'The murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky at the Capital Jewish Museum was evil in its most basic form. This brutal antisemitic act must be condemned in the strongest terms.' Many online expressed their fury at what appeared to be hypocrisy from one of the left's leading benefactors. 'Alex Soros unclear how funding rabid Jew-hating organizations and individuals could lead to the killing of Jews,' wrote Joanne Mason. Another X user wrote: 'You and your father fund the mayhem in America and elsewhere. SO, perhaps you should sit this one out.' 'Bro do you own a mirror,' added another. One more said: 'But you'll keep writing the checks to these anti Semitic scum. You did this.' Soros' Open Society Foundation is alleged to give money to causes and groups sympathetic to Palestine and leftist organizations that hate the existence of Israel, according to Fox News. When he took over OSF, Israel's minister of diaspora affairs and social equality Amichai Chikli said he was just like his father in his hatred of the Jewish state. 'It looks like the son is a replica of his father. We have no expectation that his son will be a big Zionist,' he said. His father has also been slammed by Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan. 'For years, Soros has backed and transferred money to organizations supporting BDS that want to isolate Israel,' he said. Alex has described himself as his father's 'loyal parasite' in a recent interview with New York Magazine, adding that for years now, he has been by his father's side learning from the best about how to influence politics. Insiders with deep ties to OSF told the magazine that they thought Jonathan was 'the one' who would, and should take over. One even compared Alex to Roman Roy, the infamous failson in the hit TV show 'Succession.' And now, with the second Trump era in full swing, Alex is coming off a failed election season spent hobnobbing with Democratic elites more determined than ever to use his father's fortune to severely limit the president's power. His vague plan appears to be spending big in the upcoming midterm elections to elect Democrats and erase GOP majorities in the House and Senate. Alex being thrust to center stage comes after years of conservative politicians using George Soros as their bogeyman to mobilize voters. Trump especially has ill feelings for Soros, as at least some of his wealth landed in the coffers of Alvin Bragg when he was running to be the Manhattan District Attorney in 2019. 'Alvin Bragg received in EXCESS OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS from the Radical Left Enemy of "TRUMP," George Soros,' Trump wrote on Truth Social just a week before he was indicted on the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Trump was then dragged into court for weeks during the heat of the 2024 campaign and was later convicted of all 34 felony counts against him. Of course, because Trump won re-election, he avoided all consequences from those convictions. When asked who he thinks should lead the Democrats, a party that doesn't seem to have a clear standard-bearer at the moment, Alex only reinforced that view with his answer. 'Who do I draw inspiration from when I listen to them speak? Josh Shapiro is great. AOC is great. You know, Raphael Warnock is great. You know, Gretchen Whitmer is great. I mean, I like Tim Walz. Chris Murphy. Brian Schatz. Like, these guys are great,' he said. And although he doesn't subscribe to the view that courts will ultimately be enough to sidetrack Trump's agenda, the Soros family donated at least $2 million to Susan Crawford, the Democrat who went on to win the Wisconsin Supreme Court race in early April. Crawford defeated Brad Schimel, who had the backing of Elon Musk and his various Super PACs which donated a combined $22 million. As Alex continues to mature in his leadership role at Open Society Foundations (OSF), he is overseeing the final stages of a vast restructuring of the organization that has been going on since 2017. OSF is down to 500 employees, when eight years ago there were about 1,700. The foundation has also closed or scaled back programs related to public health, early-childhood education, journalism and university scholarships. OSF says will continue it doling out grants to causes it deems worthy, but Alex is certainly more in favor of reorienting the group to focus more directly on political contributions.
