I took the intention of the OP's thread to be an insight into the psyche of someone like George Soros.
Here you have someone who is undeniably rich, powerful and influential, yet he still lusts after young women, despite being old enough to be their grandfather.
When you see people in the upper echelons of the corporate hierarchy having a pathological and addictive lust for power, wealth and influence, then it is worth looking at a lot of the psychological reasons as to why these people may turn out this way, and why their actions are immoral, psychopathic, and at times, apparently, delusional.
Old Georgie appears to have a fondness for young women, so this could explain one reason for men such as him to carry on in a completely unethical and megalomaniacal way; a bitterness that stems from a lack of youth and virility, and the inescapable realisation of their own mortality.

Your words would have had some actual merit if you had actually mentioned this factor in the first place.
Instead, you cowered behind the other words, and then decided to comment when you thought the ''road was clear'', and an opportunity to stay out of the heat!

thank you
that was my point.
Life's choices/preferences tend to
be a road map of their psyche.
It doesn't matter if this is old news or not.

I think people like him are probably a little bit deluded, and never have a truly happy existence.

That would explain his destroyer of worlds mentality.
I think another problem with people like Soros is that they eventually come to the terrifying realisation that money and material wealth won't make all of their other problems and worries go away.
They still have all of the same problems, it's just that they are richer and more influential, which doesn't necessarily equate to happiness.
Instead of addressing their real problems, they use this lust and addiction for money and power as an escape mechanism, which is why they become so obsessed in their pursuit of it, and why they live in a deluded and false reality rather than live in the terrifying and harsh actual reality of their unfulfilled and unhappy lives.

I don't know about that, the dude seems like he has all the things in life than anybody would want. He is stinking rich, has a hot wife, was married to another most likely hot chick for a while. He really seems like the epitome of living the good life. And he definitional does not seem like he is worried about anything, why should he?

I don't know about that, look at his wife, what else would be the point of being hot and all that, if not to attract rich successfulness men. Is that not what all that model stuff is about, and what beauty and looks has evolved to do, or why chicks would be so obsessed over it, ever picked up one of the magazines they all read. I did once for about a minute, and its clear what it's all about. To me it seems like they both got there wish, Soros got to be the alpha male and all that, that chick got money, social position, and all the other things females want, and she probably wont have to wait long for him to kick the bucket, before she moves on.

And lets be serious it's not that hard for any female to attract another guy's. Even if she were not hot, even if she had an eye patch and a peg leg, all she would have to do is go to were males look for females, like a club or bar or even online dating, or whatever else, and just kind of stand around and she will have more then a couple of guys trying something within the hour.

So it looks like everybody got what they wanted, so there is no mysteries here.

He seems like a very happy dude, and what problems can he really have, what the butler didn't put enough ketchup on his burger. Nah him and his new and old wife, got exactly what they wanted. There dreams have come true, if anything they are the victim of having there dreams becoming a reality, which is not even on the scale of having real problems. And that is the whole point of dreams, so you wont have to life in the terrifying and harsh actual reality, as you put it.
Those things are all material objects, they are not an answer to someone's personal and emotional well-being.
Of course, most of us wouldn't say no to a bit of extra wealth, power or influence, but it is not a substitute for happiness, it's merely a diversion away from acknowledging and addressing any fundamental problems that we may have.
If someone suffering from depression won a million dollars, would that cure them ? Or would they just be a millionaire with depression ?
Of course, their equilibrium may be slightly restored for a while due to the fact that they can concentrate on spending their money - which may take their mind off their problems for a while - but that is why seeking material wealth above all else is just a distraction and a method of escape from the underlying feelings of unhappiness.
Good-looking women have the advantage over other women because they have much more male attention, and consequently have the luxury of a much larger choice of men who they can potentially have a relationship with.
It shouldn't be too difficult for a beautiful woman to find a rich, successful man who is also handsome, younger, and, shall we say, more virile.
To go for someone at the extreme end of the rich-list makes these women no more than prostitutes.
Younger, more attractive man, can also have money and power, and these women could easily form a serious relationship with one of these men, which could actually be emotionally and physically meaningful.
But most men who would be interested in these girls in bars, are only after sex.
I would never form a relationship with a woman who didn't match up to my personal standards, but I don't mind having a bit of fun with the ones who don't make the cut.
You can't compare a relationship based on sex with a relationship based on an emotional attachment between both partners.
I very much doubt they got what they wanted. She probably got more out of it than him, but in the end, she's just a money-grubbing slapper, and he's just a pathetic old man. People can't continually fool themselves; both will be aware of this deep down.
You ask ''what problems can he really have'', and your question illustrates that are equating material wealth with personal happiness. These are two separate things, and the former doesn't lead on to the latter.
A lust for power and wealth is just as much an addiction as alcoholism, drug addiction and gambling.
You'll find that people who suffer from these addictions are invariably using them as an escape and coping mechanism to mask their genuine, deep-lying problems.
An alcoholic may achieve temporary happiness when he's under the influence of alcohol, but this doesn't change or fix the problems that led to him originally hitting the bottle.
Soros is clearly not happy, or has not got what he wanted, otherwise he wouldn't have this continual psychological pursuit of money and wealth.
If he was emotionally stable, then he would have retired years ago with more money than he could spend, find a nice wife , and spend the rest of his days without any pressure and where he could spend as much time doing what he wanted, when he wanted.
To continue doing what he does when he's 80, shows signs of mental instability and a strong dependence to the ''drug'' that's he addicted to.
