George Soros hands reins of $25bn empire to son Alex
US billionaire philanthropist George Soros has handed over the running of his $25bn (£19.9bn) financial and charitable empire to his son Alex.
The Hungarian-born financier said his son had "earned it", in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
Since the 1990s the family's wealth has been directed to support democracy-building in dozens of countries.
But in recent years the 92-year-old former hedge fund manager has become the focus of anti-Semitic conspiracies.
A Soros spokesperson confirmed to the BBC the details of the interview published on Sunday.
