Abedin has long been considered a “second daughter” to Hillary, and Alex’s dad, George Soros — who made his money in hedge funds and is worth $6.7 billion, according to Forbes — was one of the top 10 donors to Hillary’s presidential run in 2016, contributing more than $9.5 million to the campaign. “I’m thrilled for her,” an Abedin friend previously told Page Six of her relationship with Soros. “She works so hard and she deserves happiness. I just hope she’s happy — she’s been through so much.” We hear that the engaged couple — who met through a mutual friend who was dating one of Alex’s cousins — have been recently traveling together, and sources told us that Abedin was appearing in the Balkans for a talk.
