George Soros, a 94-year-old Hungarian-American billionaire investor, philanthropist, and political activist, was honored by President Joe Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom (America's highest civilian honor) at a White House ceremony on Saturday. George Soros's son, Alexander Soros received the honor on his behalf.
Who is George Soros' wife Tamiko Bolton?
Since receiving the honors, there's been widespread interest in knowing more about his family and wife, Tamiko Bolton. George Soros married Tamiko Bolton (52), an American education consultant, licensed pharmacist, and entrepreneur of Japanese descent in 2013 in a small ceremony at his Bedford estate. Tamiko has worked alongside him, writing projects for George Soros's Open Society Foundations.
Tamiko Bolton graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Finance degree from the University of Utah and holds an MBA from the University of Miami. She also founded an online business focused on dietary supplements and vitamins and launched a digital yoga education platform. In addition to her ventures, she is recognized as a partner at Soros Fund Management and often joins George Soros, who is known for his commentary on global economic issues, on his travels throughout Europe.
George Soros has been married three times and has five children. Three of his children Robert, Andrea, and Jonathan, were from his marriage to Annaliese Witschak. His sons Alexander and Gregory Soros were from this second marriage to the well-known historian and academician, Susan Weber.
According to a June 2023 article by The Guardian, Soros has appointed his son Alexander Soros as the chairman of one of the world’s most influential philanthropic organizations, the Open Society Foundations. Alexander also sits on the investment committee for Soros Fund Management, an investment management firm. 'He’s earned this position,' George Soros remarked, with Alexander's net worth currently estimated at $6.7 billion.
Reactions to George Soros being presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom
George Soros being presented with the nation's highest honors did not seem to have gone down well with many who did not hesitate to express their disapproval publicly.
Elon Musk, took to his X to share an old interview where he said that Soros 'fundamentally hates humanity' and wrote:
"A travesty that Biden is giving Soros the Medal of Freedom"
Musk backed that post up with a meme commenting on how old George Soros is. He wrote:
"George Soros looking quite good here. Must be the lighting."
Referring to George Soros as a "clown", Donald Trump Jr. shared the video of a 25-year-old pizza delivery guy rescuing children from a burning house and said:
"This guy deserves the presidential medal of freedom… Not the clowns like Soros and the others who got it from Biden this week."
Nikki Haley, a Republican and former Governor of South Carolina, echoed her disapproval by writing:

"Giving George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom is another slap in the face of America after reducing the sentences of murderers and pardoning his son. 16 days is a long time until the Inauguration. What is he capable of sliding in next? January 20th can’t come soon enough."
George Soros was among 19 other recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which included notable names like Lionel Messi, U2 lead singer Bono, Ralph Lauren, Hilary Clinton, and Micheal J Fox, among many others.
