Controversies & Scandals

Tamiko Bolton was dragged into an ugly legal battle when Adriana Ferreyr, former Brazilian soap opera star and Soros' previous partner, filed a $50 million lawsuit against him claiming that he had promised to give her the $1.9 million Manhattan apartment that he eventually gave to Bolton. She also claimed that Soros, who did not give her many gifts during their time together, had finally offered to buy her a house, following which she herself had chosen Apartment 7C, her dream house, after extensive real-estate searching. The actress even began slandering Bolton to the board of the building and later to lawyers. During the hearing of the lawsuit, Ferreyr went violent, and physically attacked Soros and his lawyers. Soros filed a pending motion to dismiss the lawsuit. After the marriage of Soros and Bolton, Ferreyr's lawyer hoped that now that he doesn't need the apartment, it might be easier to come to a decision about it. Soros, a philanthropist, is expected to leave most of his fortune to charities, but according to his lawyer, will provide generously for his wife.
