Heir to billionaire Soros fortune cheers Mamdani election with penthouse photo https://ift.tt/YXTFE5V

The son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros released an image of himself standing beside Zohran Mamdani in a penthouse, writing after his election that, "The American dream continues!"

"So proud to be a New Yorker!" Alex Soros said on X. "Congrats, Mayor Zohran Mamdani."

Alex Soros is the son of Open Society Foundations founder George Soros, who has helped fund left-wing campaigns stretching from district attorneys to federal elections. Alex Soros succeeded his father as chair of the board of directors of the massive $25 billion nonprofit in 2022.

Hours after his post, Mamdani appeared on ABC’s "Good Morning America," declaring, "I think you have to raise taxes on the top 1% of New Yorkers."

Alex Soros' support of Mamdani is not a surprise, with the Open Society Foundations reportedly donating $37 million across the last decade to left-wing groups that ultimately promoted Mamdani's nomination this year, such as the Working Families Party, the New York Post reported in July.

The younger Soros is a New York native.

"I was proud to support and vote for the Democratic candidate for mayor," Soros told The New York Times in an emailed statement on Election Day.

Alex Soros' support of Mamdani comes as President Donald Trump has slammed Mamdani as a "communist." Trump has also criticized the Soros family over their donations to left-wing causes and candidates, including calling for investigations into George and Alex Soros.

"Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you!" Trump wrote on Truth Social in August.
