Tamiko Bolton Is George Soros' Third Wife: Everything We Know About Her

After meeting in the late 2000s, Tamiko Bolton, George Soros' wife, married the billionaire in New York. Their relationship has not been without its troubles, as the new Mrs. Soros once shared an apartment building with her husband's ex, which resulted in the two women suing each other.

Bolton and Soros said "I do" during a high-profile New York ceremony after a relationship dating back over a decade. However, it was not always smooth sailing for the couple.

With a forty-year age gap between her and her husband, Bolton found herself in a legal battle with one of Soros' past lovers, who was at war with him in the courtroom as well.

Tamiko Bolton Was an Online Entrepreneur and Now Works with the Open Society Foundations

Born to a nurse and a naval officer, Bolton is a licensed pharmacist with degrees from the University of Miami and the University of Utah. She kickstarted her career as an online entrepreneur in early-stage nutraceutical and ed-tech ventures.

In 2011, Bolton was neighbors with one of Soros' past flings, a 28-year-old former Brazilian soap star, Adriana Ferreyr.

She then held the position of a consultant in the healthcare and education fields and is a partner in Soros Fund Management. As if her résumé was not impressive already, Bolton founded a vitamin sales company and an online yoga education company.

It is unclear when she joined Soros' company, the Open Society Foundation; however, according to its website, Bolton is a board member. Her profile on the company's website, in part, reads:

"Over the past decade, (Bolton) has worked alongside Open Society Foundations Founder George Soros assisting him with his writing projects and ensuring that his vision for the Foundations is fully realized."

From attending a UN Summit on climate change to other events worldwide, Bolton has been Soros' "companion" for many years. In 2011, Bolton was neighbors with one of Soros' past flings, a 28-year-old former Brazilian soap star, Adriana Ferreyr.

Bolton moved into the apartment Soros initially bought for Ferreyr worth $1.9 million, leaving the condo board and doormen to mediate between the two women. However, it was to no avail as the situation escalated when court documents revealed both women accused each other of harassment.

Ferreyr accused Bolton of bad-mouthing her to the building board, the management company, and the doormen. Ferreyr was also at odds with Soros, who she claimed was doing all he could to have her thrown out of the building. Soros' spokesperson said:

"(It is) obviously an attempt to extract money from my client, who is known to be a very wealthy man.”

Tamiko Bolton Met Her Future Husband Back in 2008

Bolton and Soros' relationship began in the Spring of 2008, and they announced their engagement in August 2012. Soros had been married twice before, during which he welcomed five children. Bolton's marriage to Soros was her second; she had a short marriage in the 1999s.

The billionaire proposed during a weekend getaway in the Hamptons with a rock of an engagement ring. The couple shared the news of their engagement to friends and family during a summer party at his home in Southampton, New York.

Many Influential People Attended Their Wedding

In September 2013, more than 500 guests gathered at the Caramoor Centre for Music and Arts for Soros and Bolton's high-profile wedding. Surrounded by Italian Renaissance-inspired architecture, Bolton and Soros said "I Do" in front of a crowd of powerful faces.

The guest list included World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, the Prime Minister of Albania, Bono from the rock band U2, U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and the lieutenant governor of California, Gavin Newsom, among others.

The night before, Bolton and Soros hosted 300 guests at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan for a preview of Belgian surrealist painter Rene Magri's work.

On her big day, Bolton wore a dress by Reem Acra, whose designs have been worn by Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez. And while their honeymoon plans were not revealed, the couple asked for wedding gifts to be donated to several charities.
