Private jets and black SUVs descended on Water Mill, New York, for a wedding that screamed elite privilege. Huma Abedin, longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, tied the knot with Alex Soros, heir to George Soros’s $25 billion empire, in a spectacle that could double as a Democratic Party fundraiser, reported Fox News. The guest list read like a who’s who of progressive power, raising eyebrows about the cozy nexus of wealth and politics.
Abedin and Soros exchanged vows Saturday at a Soros family estate in the Hamptons, where the air was thick with influence and Wagyu beef. The event drew heavyweights like Kamala Harris, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi, alongside Vogue’s Anna Wintour and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama. It was less a wedding and more a summit of left-wing luminaries.
Flashy nuptials aside, the union of Abedin, 48, and Soros, 39, merges two figures steeped in political clout. Abedin, once dubbed Clinton’s “second daughter,” carries decades of insider access, while Soros chairs the Open Society Foundations, funneling billions into progressive causes. Critics might wonder if this marriage is as much a strategic alliance as a romantic one. Make no mistake about it, this is the new "power couple" for the left in DC.
The guest list was a parade of Democratic royalty, with Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, and socialite Nicky Hilton Rothschild mingling among the elite. Boyz II Men serenaded the crowd, their “Motownphilly” vibes a nostalgic nod to the ’90s, when Bill Clinton’s presidency shaped many attendees’ careers. The scene felt like a victory lap for a political machine that’s seen better days.
Hillary Clinton, ever the loyal mentor, gushed to Vogue about the event. “I’m looking forward to being a witness to their marriage,” she said, calling it a chance for “fun.” Her enthusiasm for “fun” rings hollow when the guest list looks like a DNC donor roll call, not a family reunion.
Clinton wasn’t alone in toasting the couple—Anna Wintour and Edi Rama also raised glasses. Their speeches, no doubt polished, underscored the event’s global reach, with Albania’s leader an odd but telling addition. One wonders if the toasts mentioned the billions Soros’s foundation spends shaping elections and policies worldwide.
Abedin dazzled in two custom dresses, a detail Vogue breathlessly reported, as if the dresses were the story, not the power dynamics. The menu—Wagyu beef, grilled prawns, chilled English pea soup—screamed excess, a stark contrast to the “for the people” rhetoric Democrats often peddle. Such opulence invites skepticism about the party’s priorities.
Soros proposed to Abedin last July, catching her off guard during a chaotic day. “I was shocked, not by the fact that he proposed, but it was the timing,” Abedin told Vogue, describing a whirlwind moment involving sneakers and a hair appointment. The anecdote feels curated, a humanizing gloss on a carefully orchestrated power couple.
The engagement announcement came via Instagram, where Soros wrote, “We couldn’t be happier, more grateful, or more in love.” His words drip with sincerity, but the platform—curated and performative—mirrors the wedding itself: a public display of private power. Social media loves a fairy tale, but this one’s more Machiavelli than Disney.
Abedin’s history as Anthony Weiner’s ex-wife adds a layer of intrigue. Her marriage to the disgraced former congressman ended in scandal, yet she emerged as a resilient figure in Clinton’s orbit. Now, pairing with Soros suggests a pivot from political baggage to financial firepower.
Soros, at 39, inherits not just wealth but his father’s controversial legacy. The Open Society Foundations, under his leadership, bankroll progressive causes that conservatives argue tilt the scales of democracy. This wedding, then, isn’t just personal—it’s a symbolic merger of influence peddling and ideology.
The Hamptons setting, with its fleets of SUVs and private jets, paints a picture of untouchable wealth. While ordinary Americans grapple with rising costs, this crowd dined on prawns and toasted their relevance. The disconnect between their rhetoric and reality couldn’t be starker.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Open Society Foundations for comment but got no reply. The silence speaks volumes—why dodge questions about an event so public? Transparency, it seems, wasn’t on the menu.
For conservatives, this wedding is a flashing neon sign of elitism run amok. Democrats preach fairness while dining on Wagyu, their private jets casting shadows over flyover country. It’s a reminder of why voters distrust the coastal establishment.
Still, Abedin and Soros deserve their happiness, as any couple does. But when the guest list doubles as a political Rolodex, it’s hard to see this as just a love story. The Hamptons may fade from headlines, but the influence cemented here will linger.
