George Soros's Big Swinging Grapes

Picture 11.pngInstitutional Investor published its annual ranking of the highest paid hedge fund managers today. There are no suprises. John Paulson came in first with $3.7 billion, followed by George Soros with $2.9 billion, James Simons with $2.8 billion, Philip Falcone with $1.7 billion and so on and so forth (backing up the truck was Viking Global Investors' O.Andreas Halvorsen with a measly $520 million). Pretty much what you were expecting all along, right? Right. What you probably weren't expecting, however, is the news that No. 2, Jorges Soros, has announced plans to take some of last year's income and get into the vino business. He's already bought up some land in Napa for a vineyard to be named at a later date, and is apparently circulating marketing materials to qualified investors interested in getting in on the fun. DealBreaker has obtained said materials. Find them after the jump Picture 13.png

I wonder if this is part of his plot to steer politics to the (far) left? Could he possibly lace his new sophisticated beverage with a liberal elixer? Might the entire country turn into Sorostown?

Is this the Soros whose company in Hongkong is one of those allege pro-Tibet rally and Olympic torch protester financiers?An intelligence report about whose Who in the West are the orchestrators /financiers came out and his name is one along with NED and others.It's a shame! The fact that we don't have permanent friends we are creating more enemies.
