Why is George Soros dead even he is alive and fine?
American investor George Soros of Hungarian origin was the victim of a death hoax in his name. The words "George Soros dead" went viral on social media, but it is untrue. The 92-year-old investor and philanthropist is alive and well.George Soros is a Hungarian-American investor who emigrated to England in 1947 from Hungary to escape the Nazis. Soros attended the London School of Economics (LSE) and began working at merchant banks, first in England and then in the US. In 1969, George Soros started his own hedge fund. Thereafter, there has been no looking back. Soros started Soros Fund Management, his second hedge fund, in 1970. As of 2023, he is reportedly worth £5.8 billion, that is after he gave away 80 percent of his wealth to charity. Before that, he was worth £16.5 billion. He donated £13 billion to Open Society Foundations, a group of charities operating in more than 100 countries. On May 14, an apparent ‘conspiracy theorist’ named Cillian tweeted a breaking news announcement that George Soros is dead. He attributed the news to Politics For All Ireland, another fake account on social media. Cillian’s tweet from his handle CilComLFC has been viewed by more than 600,000 people. Now, Cillian is also making fun of the media for calling him a “conspiracy theorist”. He said on Twitter, “If the Mainstream Media—including The Daily Mail and The Sun—is calling me a “conspiracy theorist”, I must be doing something right!” But George Soros is alive and kicking! The veteran investor has been prey to a death hoax earlier, too, when reputed news agency Reuters accidentally published his obituary in 2013. Reuters removed the report upon realising it was a death hoax.
