Love him or hate him you have to admit that George Soros is one successful fellow. A true rags-to-riches story, George Soros is one of the most iconic investors alive today. Born before the fall of Eastern Europe, he grew up under the thumb of fascism where he learned to ruthlessly go after what he wanted.

George was 13 when the Nazis took over Hungary (1943). The Jewish children like himself were not allowed to attend school, but instead were forced to report to the Nazi authorities. The Nazis wanted the Jewish children to hand out deportation notices, but George, at least, was able to turn the tables. When he showed his father the notices, his father took them, and told his son to tell all the men on the list that they needed to run away and escape before the Nazis tried to deport them.
Soros aided his father throughout the War years in rescuing many Jews from the Nazis. George described it as a "happy time" because he got to witness his father's heroism day after day. In 1945, the family experienced the Siege of Budapest in which Nazis and Russian soldiers fought hand-to-hand and house-by-house throughout the streets of Budapest.
He survived the German occupation of Hungary and escaped to freedom in 1947. It was then that George went to the United Kingdom and began his career as an investor.
When asked how he went from being a poor refugee to a billion dollar financier, how he got his start in investing, George replied that he wrote a letter to the head of every investment bank in London, until he got an offer.
In 1970, George started The Single Eagle Fund with $100,000. Three years later, Soros set up the Double Eagle Fund with $4 million dollars, including $250,000 of his own money. That fund is now worth over a billion dollars.
In 2013, the Quantum Fund is reported to have made $5.5 billion in profits. It was the most successful hedge fund that year. As of today's date, the Quantum Fund has made well over $40 billion dollars, much of which has been used for philanthropic purposes.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
