Billionaire George Soros Earmarks $500 Million For Migrants And Refugees

[Tennis]

Really cool! I hope more of the 1% will follow his lead. It's time we start to be a more caring, compassionate society. We all need to do our part. Imagine if more of the 0.1% were to chip in? It could really help these desperate people.

Hedge fund billionaire George Soros said on Tuesday that he is giving $500 million of his nonprofit organization’s funds to be invested on work opportunities for migrants and refugees, especially those arriving into Europe.

Soros’ announcement, made in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, comes as the United Nations convenes for its General Assembly in New York City. On Monday it hosted its first forum for Heads of State to discuss how to handle what’s been dubbed the world’s biggest refugee and migrant crisis since World War II. According to the U.N., 65.3 million people have been displaced from their homes by conflict and persecution in 2015. Since the crisis escalated last year, Europe has been struggling with how to handle the inflow of migrants.

“I will invest in startups, established companies, social-impact initiatives and businesses founded by migrants and refugees themselves,” Soros wrote. “Although my main concern is to help migrants and refugees arriving in Europe, I will be looking for good investment ideas that will benefit migrants all over the world.”


Soros, 86, is a refugee himself. He fled Hungary in 1946 and spent his teenage years as a migrant in London. He worked as a railway porter and waiter to put himself through the London School of Economics and later moved to New York where he got his start working on Wall Street. In 1969 he established his own hedge fund, the Quantum Fund, with $12 million. Today Forbes estimates Soros’ net worth at $24.9 billion.

Through his Open Society foundations, Soros has said he plans to give away more than $11 billion in his lifetime. According to Soros, the latest $500 million investment earmarked toward refugees and migrants will be owned by his nonprofit foundation, and will be investments rather than grants. “They are intended to be successful—because I want to show how private capital can play a constructive role helping migrants—and any profits will go to fund programs at the Open Society Foundations, including programs that benefit migrants and refugees,” Soros wrote.

How do you know he is a jew?

Investments rather than grants doesn't mean he's giving money away, this is the same tactic Zuckerberg setup when his kid was born. Also since they're investments not grants he'll want a return or will be calling in what is owed.

Moreover Soros is a disgusting human being who likes to make money off crashing national currencies, attempting to lobby and influence national and international elections and overall being a huge enemy to sovereign nations everywhere. Your circle jerk feelgoods about helping people out is something people like this douchebag use to leverage policy.

He's got kids who carry on the 'family business' so it really doesn't matter when he dies.

Thank you for being awake.

All the bitching about the Koch brothers over the years while the media has no problem with this fucker trying to upend societies for decades.

Here's how I theorize this will play out.

$500,000,000
-$290,000,000 in executive management.
-$160,000,000 in union fees
-$100,000,000 in pure waste.
-$100,000,000 in various taxation.
-$100,000,000 for press tours so we can get headline worthy photographs of "refugees" being helped.
= net loss of $250 million which Soros will write off, in addition to writing off the original sum.

By the time its done Soros and his cronie pals will probably make more money in the process than hes giving away.

Pretty smart move.

Well, if anyone knows how to manage money it's George Soros. He's worth $25 billion dollars.

From short selling currencies and high level corruption. He is a parasite who lives off human suffering.

It speaks to the severity of the refugee crisis when a man like him is willing to give away so much.

He's a radical leftist who hates Western culture, living his final days and spending his money to promote any extremest opportunity he can.

The goal is not to fix anything the goal is to disrupt.

He supported occutarding - not in a way that would drive corrupted bank practices out, but in a way that motivated millions of clueless morons to vote for somebody who would erode freedom and Western supremacy.

He supports BLM - not in a way that would help diminish the Black culture violence at the root of the problem, but in a way that keeps Blacks enraged ignorant and quick to become violent.

He supports refugees - not in a way that would stabilize their region, but in a way that spreads their dysfunctional nature to the West.

Hes a fucking cancer on this planet.

The whole concept of profitable businesses being ''parasites'' never dies. Way better to have soviet style businesses, that are totally different and way better, in that they unprofitable businesses being parasites.

How can he hate Western culture yet be worth 25 billion?

The reason he is even worth that amount is due to the West and the banking/financial systems.

This comment is repulsive, even for Internet Tough Guys (But I suppose I can find solace that at least, it's not the usual alt right ''Jews should die, but Hitler is a victim of them'')

So. Many. Finical. Experts

I love it when Russia Today and Breitbart have different agitprop lines over their ''hatefest'' campaigns. Zombergy is likely unaware that in Russia, it's gospel (AKA, the word of Putin) that Soros is the tool of the CIA, that put western lies (and homosexuality) in the minds of slaves that did not knew their places.

This is incredibly naïve and shows just how hollow your understanding of things actually is.

The banking/financial systems and all the business world he's plugged into are not "Western Culture" at all. Business and all the associated secondary systems and agencies are in no way a part of the culture no matter where they are, especially American oriented Capitalism which is essentially rootless and able to be plugged in anywhere. Culture is well beyond anything dealing with transactions, business and money.

It's no surprise that with this in mind that as American oriented Capitalism has spread throughout the world and has received a larger and larger emphasis that the true composition of culture, that being traditions and expressions and heraldic lessons and history have been downgraded and supplanted as a focus. Endless growth can't exist when something as big as true form culture competes for time, effort and resources from the citizens.

Furthermore there's a reason that his foundation is called Open Society, because the last thing he values is cultures, Western or otherwise. The only 'culture' he values is an open one, which is infinitely easier to influence, profit from and direct.

[sarahtasher]

But but but guys, isnt there a dude whose key political argument is ''I made money'' ?

Therefore, Soros is at the very least 5 times more intelligent and astute than Trump, since he is five time richer than him....
