Billionaire George Soros was not at the Saturday wedding of his son Alex Soros and Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
But while the top Democratic donor skipped the Saturday nups, the father of the groom, 94, did attend a smaller Friday family service, which was reportedly officiated by a rabbi and an imam in celebration of both Abedin’s Muslim faith and Soros’ Jewish heritage.
Guests at the blowout Saturday event at Alex’s sprawling estate in Water Mill, N.Y., included Bill and Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff, Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon, Vogue icon Anna Wintour and Nicky Hilton Rothschild.
A source close to the elder Soros told Page Six that the philanthropist and his wife Tamiko Bolton, “hosted an intimate family service on Friday morning at their home.”
The insider added that Soros is “94 years old and in good health,” when asked if the billionaire might’ve skipped the Saturday event for any health reasons.
It wasn’t otherwise clear why Alex’s dad didn’t attend the bigger bash.
We previously reported that Boyz II Men — the band behind ’90s hits like “End of the Road” and “Motownphilly” — performed on Saturday night, while toasts were made by speakers including Abedin’s son, Jordan (whom she shares with ex-husband Anthony Weiner), and the prime minister of Albania, Edi Rama.
Reports said that Alex’s brother Jonathan, Hillary Clinton and Wintour also spoke at the Saturday event, where the menu included agnolotti pasta, chilled pea soup, American Wagyu steak and grilled prawns.
“Anyone who was anyone was there,” an insider said of the star-studded wedding where guests also included Microsoft scion Rory Gates.
According to Vogue, the bride wore two custom wedding dresses for the two-ceremony celebration: one by Erdem and one by Givenchy.
The mag reported: “On Friday, there was an intimate service at Soros’s father’s home in Southampton with family and friends, to sign the Nikah in honor of Abedin’s Muslim faith and the Ketubah in honor of Soros’s Jewish heritage.” And, “On Saturday, a larger celebration took place at the couple’s home nearby.”
Earlier this year, top Dem donor George Soros and Hillary Clinton were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, by then-President Biden at a White House ceremony.
The Hungarian-born hedge-fund billionaire gave more than $175 million to Democrats during the 2022 midterms, according to Federal Election Commission records — and in 2024 gave another $60 million for House and Senate Democrats and other left-wing causes through his Democracy PAC, records showed.
Page Six exclusively revealed earlier this year that billionaire Soros’ 39-year-old son and Clinton’s former aide, 48, sent out save-the-date cards for their New York nuptials in February.
Page Six also broke the news of the power couple’s engagement last summer. “It’s a classic Clinton world couple,” an insider subsequently told us. “Alex is the perfect match for Huma. He’s insanely wealthy and powerful — everything that Huma cares about.”
Abedin was previously married to disgraced Democratic politician Weiner, but she filed for divorce in 2017 — nine months after his infamous “Carlos Danger” sexting scandal surfaced.
