Alexander Soros—one of two sons of Susan Weber Soros and billionaire George Soros—was raised with his younger brother, Gregory, in Katonah, New York. Alexander attended the King Low-Heywood Thomas school (now known as the King School), in Stamford, Connecticut, then graduated from New York University in 2009, and earned a PhD in history from the University of California, Berkeley in 2018. On June 11, 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported that George Soros had handed control of his $25 billion Soros Open Society Foundation to his son Alexander. Shortly after, the foundation announced layoffs of at least 40 percent of its international staff of then 800 and "significant changes" to its operating model.

Soros manages the Soros Family Foundation and the Open Society Foundation, which distributes around US$1.5 billion a year to advance human rights and democratic governments. Soros established himself as a philanthropist with his first major contribution to Bend the Arc in 2011. According to a 2011 profile in The Wall Street Journal, Soros's focus is on "progressive causes." Since then, he has joined the board of directors of organizations including Global Witness (as an advisory board member), which campaigns against environmental and human rights abuses associated with the exploitation of natural resources. In March 2012, he donated $200,000 to the Jewish Council for Education and Research, the organization behind 2008's "Great Schlep" in support of then-candidate Barack Obama.

In 2012, Soros established the Alexander Soros Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting social justice and human rights. Among the foundation's initial grantees are Bend the Arc, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, which represents the rights of 2.5 million domestic workers in the U.S., and Make the Road New York, a social justice organization for Latino and working class communities in the New York metropolitan area. Alongside the Ford Foundation and the Open Society Foundations, the Alexander Soros Foundation funded the first U.S. national statistical study of domestic workers ("Home Economics: The Invisible and Unregulated World of Domestic Work," released November 26, 2012).

Soros is the only family member sitting on the investment committee for Soros Fund Management, the vehicle which The Wall Street Journal says is managing the $25bn for the family and the charitable foundation.

Soros lives in Manhattan. He had been dating Huma Abedin since at least May 2024, when they appeared together at the Met Gala. He married Abedin on June 14, 2025, after an eleven-month engagement. Guests in attendance at the wedding included various Democratic political leaders, Hollywood celebrities and other high-profile individuals such as Anna Wintour.
