title: Soros' new mission. Russian health project only the beginning, he says.
abstract: Since 1979 billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros (left) has contributed millions of dollars of his personal wealth to some of the world's poorest nations. Now the Hungarian-born money manager is giving his largest gift ever. Soros will spend $500 million over three years in Russia, roughly $100 million of which will be invested in public health projects.
