>Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary, to a nonobservant Jewish family. His mother, Elizabeth (also known as Erzsébet), came from a family that owned a thriving silk shop. His father, Tivadar, (also known as Teodoro) was a lawyer[15] and had been a prisoner of war during and after World War I until he escaped from Russia and rejoined his family in Budapest.[16][17] The two married in 1924. Tivadar was an Esperantist writer and taught Soros to speak Esperanto in his childhood.[18] Soros later said that he grew up in a Jewish home and that his parents were cautious with their religious roots.[19] In 1936, his father changed the family name from Schwartz ("black" in German) to Soros (a successor in Hungarian or will soar in Esperanto).

>In 1951 Soros earned a bachelor of science in philosophy and a PhD in philosophy in 1954, both from the London School of Economics.[26]
Worthless degree in bullshit 1 point
>Soros worked as a railway porter and as a waiter...
>"Well, I had a variety of jobs and I ended up selling fancy goods on the seaside, souvenir shops, and I thought, that's really not what I was cut out to do. So, I wrote to every managing director in every merchant bank in London, got just one or two replies, and eventually that's how I got a job in a merchant bank."
>After graduating, Soros found it difficult to get work, and settled for a job as a traveling salesman for a fancy-goods wholesaler selling to retailers in Welsh seaside resorts. He described this period as the "low point of my life", and wrote letters to a number of merchant banks requesting interviews. Many of these ignored him, and others humiliated him in the interviews. He credits his acceptance at Singer and Friedlander to the fact that the managing director was a fellow Hungarian.[27]
>Robert Mayer, suggested he apply at his father's brokerage house, F.M. Mayer of New York.[28]
Worked for a living but went into banking immediately. He got his position at his father's firm through nepotism. 0,5 points.
Nowadays he is the wealthiest hedgefund manager, yet goes on serveral political crusades and finances bullshit that is detrimental to his interests as hedgefund manager. another half point.
This gives him a score of 3. I suggest not investing with Mr. Soros.
