Soros built his fortune leading Quantum Fund, once the world's largest hedge fund. Since retiring from money managing in 2011, Soros has turned his attention to philanthropy. He started donating to campaigns in 2003 because of his dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq, Business Insider previously reported.
Soros has also found himself at the center of numerous conspiracy theories about his involvement in governments from the United States to Hungary to Russia, many of which are anti-Semitic and have never been supported by evidence.
Soros donated over $20 million to Democrats in 2018, Business Insider previously reported. The former financier's donations in 2019 have been to numerous Democratic groups, including the North Dakota, Michigan, Iowa, North Dakota, Hawaii, and Oklahoma Democratic Parties, FEC data shows.
