George Soros tied the knot with 42-year-old Japanese-American Tamiko Bolton, a health care consultant, in a small, but lavish, wedding at his Caramoor estate in Bedford, an hour away from New York City.

Billionaire investor George Soros got married for the third time.

Tamiko Bolton’s wedding dress was designed by U.S.-based, Lebanon-born Reem Acra, whose gowns have been worn on the red carpet by many stars, including Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez.

George Soros, 83, put a Graff wedding band on Tamiko Bolton’s finger during the half-hour ceremony, according to a source.

Federal judge Kimba Wood officiated at the non-denominational wedding, which was attended only by family members, including George Soros’ five children from his two previous marriages.

The wedding ceremony was followed by a reception on Saturday evening with more than 500 guests at an arts center in nearby Katonah.

Chef Bo Bech of the Geist Restaurant in Copenhagen prepared the food.

George Soros and Tamiko Bolton first dined at Geist when visiting Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2009.

It comes as little surprise that the occasion would be marked with a bit of fanfare.

The three-day celebration already began on Friday with a dinner followed by a reception at the Museum of Modern Art with a special preview of the new Rene Magritte exhibit.

The estate in Bedford itself has its own grandiose history as George Soros bought it a decade ago from Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park.

The reception featured Hungarian composer and conductor Iván Fischer, a family friend, who created a new arrangement for the occasion, which was presented with the Budapest Festival Orchestra.

Cape Verdean singer Mayra Andrade performed with the Harris Lane Orchestra.

The reception was festooned with lavish floral centerpieces including a huge hot-air balloon made of flowers.

Mayra Andrade and Roma ensemble Via Romen performed at Sunday brunch.

Guests at the various events included World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and some foreign leaders, including Hendrik Toomas Ilves, president of Estonia; Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, president of Liberia; and Edi Rama, prime minister of Albania.

Also expected to have attended were fellow titans of the hedge fund world, Paul Tudor Jones and Julian Robertson.

From the political realm those invited included Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi of California and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, both Democrats.

George Soros, who established one of the first hedge funds in 1969 and is probably best known for his big bet against the British pound in 1992, met Tamiko Bolton at a dinner party in 2008.

Their engagement was announced in August 2012.

Tamiko Bolton, who was raised in California, is the daughter of a nurse and a retired naval officer. She graduated from the University of Utah and holds an MBA from the University of Miami. Tamiko Bolton has been a consultant and entrepreneur working in the fields of health and education.

For George Soros, who has a net worth of $20 billion, according to Forbes, this will be his third marriage. It will be the second for Tamiko Bolton.

In the past three decades, Hungarian-born George Soros has given away more than $7 billion to promote democracy, foster free speech, improve education and fight poverty around the world, according to his foundation’s website on www.opensocietyfoundations.org.

George Soros was divorced from Annaliese Witschak in 1983 and Susan Weber Soros in 2005.

This will be Tamiko Bolton’s second marriage.

The formal exchange of vows will come on Saturday at George Soros’ estate in Bedford, less than an hour away from the city.

For George Soros, who has a net worth of $20 billion according to Forbes, this will be his third marriage. It will be the second for Tamiko Bolton.

When asked if there is a prenuptial agreement, the source familiar with the wedding arrangements said that George Soros’s lawyer, William D. Zabel, reiterated his comments from last year that “Soros will leave the bulk of his estate to charity but he intends to provide generously for his wife”.

In 2011, George Soros, who is an active contributor to politically liberal causes and frequently speaks on world economic events, converted his hedge fund into a family office and stopped managing money for outside investors.

George Soros was divorced from Annaliese Witschak in 1983 and Susan Weber Soros in 2005.

In lieu of gifts, the couple asked that donations be made to charities including Global Witness, Harlem’s Children Zone, National Dance Institute, Planned Parenthood and the Roma Education Fund.

George Soros is sparing no expense for his September wedding to his third wife, Tamiko Bolton.

George Soros, 82, and his 41-year-old girlfriend have reportedly printed about 1,000 invitations for the “extremely color-coordinated” celebrations but have only sent out “several hundred” to family and friends.

Guests will be treated to several events in different locations, but won’t have to splash out on a gift for the couple, who got engaged last August.

The Daily News reports George Soros and Tamiko Bolton will only use vendors in and around New York City, where the wedding will be held.

“All the food will be farm-to-table and the flowers will be in-season flowers. They will not be shipped in from elsewhere,” a source told the Daily News.

And the celebrations are expected to have a strict color theme.

Tamiko Bolton’s wedding planner was spied meeting with assistants at the Openhouse Gallery on Mulberry St. two weeks ago, and watched models trying on different caterer clothing.

“It was a full-on runway show for the planner to decide on outfits for the staff to wear,” the insider said.

George Soros and Tamiko Bolton, who met in the spring of 2008 and formally announced their engagement at a party at Soros’ summer mansion in Southampton last year, reportedly sent out only several hundred of the 1,000 invitations printed for their big day.

“The wedding will be attended by friends, family and colleagues from around the world, including George’s five children and the bride’s entire family,” the source told the Daily News.

“They will all come to New York and then other events, like the reception and a brunch, will be held at different locations around the city.”

Despite being treated to the best money can buy, the lucky guests won’t have to give the wealthy newlyweds a gift.

Instead guests have been asked to donate to either the National Dance Institute, the Harlem Children’s Zone, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the human rights group Global Witness.

This will be George Soros’s third marriage and the second for Tamiko Bolton, who was married briefly before.

George Soros has five children from his marriages to Annaliese Witschak, whom he split with in 1983, and Susan Weber Soros, who he divorced in 2005.

He rose to fame and fortune two decades ago on a now-historic trade, in which he took on the Bank of England and shrewdly wagered on a devaluation of the pound.

In 2011, George Soros, an active contributor to politically liberal causes, converted his hedge fund into a family office and stopped managing money for outside investors.

Tamiko Bolton, who once started an Internet-based dietary supplement business and is now running a web-based yoga education business, has a masters degree in business from the University of Miami.
