Soros' new mission. Russian health project only the beginning, he says.
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.
