George Soros ♥♥♥♥♥♥ was born on August 12, 1930 in Budapest, Hungary. At the age of 17, he left for England after surviving Nazi occupation, and later graduated from the London School of Economics. In 1956, he moved to the United States.

Mr. Soros is one of the largest philanthropic donors in the world, having donated nearly $5 billion to support democracy in the former Soviet bloc, Africa and Asia. Already this year, he donated 50 million US dollars to help fight poverty in Africa. One of his first major gifts was in 1979 to the University of Cape Town in South Africa, which supported black students to attend college.

Mr. Soros is chairman of the Open Society Institute and founder of a network of philanthropic foundations that are active in more than 50 countries in different parts of the world, such as Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the United States. These foundations are dedicated to improving education, public health, and human rights, as well as social, legal, and economic reform.

While he modestly notes that each person has his or her own path to walk, in his own experience Mr. Soros found that a willingness to recognize and correct mistakes is a positive approach in moving forward. In defining what makes a good world leader, Mr. Soros’ views are that it’s important to stay grounded in the truth and to have people around you that also maintain this perspective. He encourages people to think for themselves and not to follow leaders blindly but to support good leadership.

Mr. Soros believes that “dedication to humanity makes a difference” and in his own special ways, he is dedicated to working together with others to make a better world.
