George Soros remains alive and active in 2025, despite online rumors questioning his status. The billionaire philanthropist, now 94, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Biden this year and continues funding liberal political causes nationwide. Here’s what we know about his recent activities and the origins of these false claims.
Soros attended his son Alexander’s wedding last year and was photographed at the event. He remains publicly engaged through his Open Society Foundations, which recently launched initiatives supporting Democratic candidates in Texas and Wisconsin. His Instagram profile posted a birthday tribute in August 2024, confirming his presence.
Conservatives have long criticized Soros for funding progressive policies on immigration and judicial elections. In March, he contributed $1 million to a Wisconsin Supreme Court race, drawing attacks from Republicans who view his influence as damaging to American values. This political targeting fuels ongoing speculation about his activities.
The rumors stem from Soros’s low public profile due to advanced age and security concerns. In 2018, a pipe bomb was mailed to his New York home as part of a right-wing extremist plot. This incident, coupled with frequent conspiracy theories accusing him of orchestrating migrant crises, makes him a recurring target for misinformation.
Soros advocates controversial policies like physician-assisted suicide, having publicly supported his mother’s right-to-die choice. His foundation previously funded end-of-life initiatives, which some conservatives interpret as promoting anti-life agendas. These positions further galvanize opposition against him.
Financially, Soros maintains a $7.2 billion fortune while donating extensively to liberal causes. His Texas Majority PAC is currently mobilizing volunteers and candidates to turn the state blue, demonstrating his continued impact on national politics. Critics argue this undermines election integrity.
The “proof of life” demands ignore Soros’s well-documented 2025 activities: receiving America’s highest civilian honor, funding judicial races, and directing political strategy. These deliberate falsehoods distract from substantive policy debates while endangering public figures through reckless speculation.
We must reject these baseless rumors and focus on Soros’s tangible influence on our institutions. His survival of Nazi occupation taught him to value open societies, but conservatives see his vision as a threat to American sovereignty. Vigilance against his agenda matters more than sensationalized rumors.
