George Soros, 83, the billionaire investor, philanthropist and active supporter of liberal political causes, married healthcare and education consultant Tamiko Bolton, 42, yesterday.

The couple exchanged vows in a small non-denominational ceremony yesterday at the Bedford, New York estate, which Soros bought in 2003 from Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton. The ceremony was followed by a reception with more than 500 guests.

The couple met in 2008 and their engagement was announced in August 2012. It is Soros's third marriage and Bolton's second.
