Huma Abedin and Alex Soros Wed in Lavish Hamptons Ceremony with Democratic Elites

In a dazzling display of wealth and Democratic star power, Huma Abedin, longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, and Alex Soros, heir to the George Soros fortune, tied the knot on Saturday at a lavish Hamptons estate in Water Mill, New York. The guest list read like a who’s-who of political and cultural elites, with former Vice President Kamala Harris, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mingling alongside Vogue’s Anna Wintour and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The Soros family estate buzzed with private jets and black SUVs, hosting a celebration that radiated opulence. Abedin, 48, shimmered in two custom wedding dresses, while guests savored Wagyu beef, grilled prawns, and chilled English pea soup. Boyz II Men serenaded the crowd, and toasts from Hillary Clinton and Wintour added a personal touch to the evening’s grandeur.

A union of influence, the marriage joins Abedin—often called Clinton’s “second daughter”—with Soros, 39, chairman of the $25 billion Open Society Foundations, a powerhouse funding progressive causes. Their romance, which culminated in a July 2024 engagement, sparked when Soros proposed during a chaotic day, catching Abedin off guard. “I was wearing sneakers,” she quipped to Vogue, recalling the moment.

The wedding’s extravagance has drawn eyes, with some noting the irony of such splendor amid Democratic critiques of wealth concentration. Yet for attendees, it was a rare chance to celebrate love and reconnect. As Hillary Clinton told Vogue, “We all could use some fun.”
