In his latest book, The Heir, author Matthew Palumbo provides a well-researched exposé of the left-wing globalist network developed by billionaire George Soros and the recent hand-off to his son, Alex. Palumbo chronicles Alex Soros' assumption of his father's political activism empire and his continuation of his father's activist path, perhaps even more radical and brazenly public.

Born in 1985, Alex grew up in a 14-room estate in an upscale New York City suburb. He attended an elite private school where tuition for the 2024–25 school year exceeds $50,000.Alex succeeded his father as chair of George's primary philanthropic organization, the Open Society Foundations (OSF), in December 2022. George, one of the most successful hedge fund managers in history, founded OSF in 1993 to support his philanthropic and political causes.
