Billionaire George Soros is to marry again at age 82 after getting engaged to girlfriend Tamiko Bolton, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
The legendary investor — the seventh-richest person in America, worth $22 billion according to Forbes — announced to close friends and family last night that he’s engaged to the 40-year-old businesswoman as he celebrated his 82nd birthday at his Hamptons home.
A source told Page Six, “George planned a surprise announcement to his assembled friends and family at his birthday party last night. He told them he and Tamiko are engaged and plan to marry next summer in Southampton.” Guests at the party included Blackstone’s Byron Wien and the mogul’s son Alexander Soros.

“What would you have had your son do in that situation?”
You don’t understand that from a child’s viewpoint that is not an unreasonable thought to have? Really?
Please answer my question posed to someone else what you would have done if you were Soros then or what you would have done if you were the father of Soros.
I want to hear that you would have refused and would have chosen to be murdered instead. Try and convince me of that.
I thought he was still married. Wasn’t there something about him recently saying something about his mistress? Is she the same woman? Didn’t he deny her a condo or physically abuse her?
Otherwise, didn’t Adolf string Eva along until the last day? Then he shot himself in the head after a quickie marriage before satan and few close bunker mates?
Maybe Soros has something simular planned?
No, he was a fortunate survivor. He was lucky enough to have a skill that the Nazis deemed "important". I had an uncle who also survived a few camps because he was a tailor. His wife and son, who had no such usable skills, were sent to the showers.
Soros was NOT in a concentration camp, doing what he could to survive the gas chamber. Maybe he was on the streets doing what he could to avoid the camps, but in his own words, he showed no remorse nor regret over what he had done. If your father was like my uncle, he was thankful for having survived, but never quite got over the horrors of the camps.
Then again, my uncle became a life-long Red Sox fan when he came to the US in the 1950s, so I guess he did serve some kind of penance :).
You do understand people like Soros don’t think like us. It’s not because he helped the people who murdered the Jews; i’s because he thinks differently. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, etc all mass murderers didn’t think like us. Even those serial killers you hear about on tv don’t think like us. Unfortunately he falls into a class that is so sick.
And that is an excuse?
You know well what folks like me would have done to the sordid son of a bitch.
“Lots of guys his age don’t even buy green bananas”
LOL!
Did he have a choice?
Nazi collaborator???
Give the hype BS a rest ... Soros was 15 years old when the war ended in Europe.
On a scale from 1 to 10 would you say he was somewhere between a 1) bart simpson 5) Martin Treyvon 8)young William Ayers or a young Nazi collaborator?
I’m not sure which one is the bigger pig.
9) was suppose to be a young Nazi collaborator.
Or, 10) a young George Soros?
I think the actions speak for themselves.
It is one thing to cook (passively working), and another thing entirely to actively separate people from their property (according to him, only he knows the true level of his activity) and send them to their deaths, even as a juvenile.
We understand “him or me” self preservation but there is another level where one goes from passively working to actively participating.
Wow. I hope she finds a way to clean him out.
“...uncle became a life-long Red Sox fan when he came to the US in the 1950s, so I guess he did serve some kind of penance :).”
It could have instead been a true *hell-on-earth* if he’d have become a Cubs fan. (;^{o)
I want to hear that you would have refused and would have chosen to be murdered instead. Try and convince me of that.

Are you saying that the jews who died were ignorant or uncaring of their children because they died instead of choosing to work for the nazis? Did Ann Franks father want his entire family to die, or any of the other millions of Jewish parents who watched their children die?
I’m sure if all these jews had a choice they would not have wanted to die, they would have done what they could to survive, BUT I am sure that they would not have aided directly in the death of other jews, nor would they have said “it was the happiest time of my life”.
The jews in the ghettos FOUGHT he nazis and some died trying to save themselves and others. Oscar Schindler aided jews by creating factories and hiring people to work. None of them collaborated with nazis to survive. Was it your father that cooked for nazis, if so God bless him for not collaborating with nazis or saying “it was the happiest time of my life”, but doing what he cou;d to survive.
Millions died at the hands of people like Soros. I would have also done what I could for my children but I know deep in my soul that I would not have been responsible for the death of innocent people, nor would I have said “it was the happiest time of my life”.
God bless Oscar Schindler.
He was 15 years old when the war ended, for crying out loud.
There is no doubt some gray areas.
Just like kids in urban areas claim they are surviving while doing all kinds of illegal/immoral things. Inlcuding stealing, drive bys,drug dealing, and gang rape..?
Sorry, but I don’t except that all of it is “surviving”
Also, if he is not responsible for his behaviors, then I guess the likely many 14 year olds who risked and helped and sacrificed and did noble things do not get credit.I wonder what the precise age is that one owns their actions.I know that serial killers often abused animals when they were children. One’s life does not happen in disconnected years, rather we are connected to our whole life and somewhat responsible for what we do, even as children, though maybe in a lesser degree.
