George Soros.

George Soros, the billionaire investor whose net worth is valued at $25 billion, has been one of the most vociferous critics of President Donald Trump.

Even though Soros once invested in a company started by Trump's son-in-law, the mogul's vocal stance has made him the subject of frequent right-wing conspiracy theories about paying people to show up to marches.

To those primarily interested in markets, he is better known for his long and prolific career as an investor who famously "broke the Bank of England." His track record has earned him comparisons with investing great Warren Buffett.

A teenage Jewish refugee who barely escaped persecution by the Nazis, he is now a philanthropist supporting the cause of refugees and a liberal world order. Here is Soros' incredible backstory.
