Billionaire George Soros hit with a lawsuit

A Brazilian soap opera star has accused George Soros, one of the most renowned billionaires, of breaking her heart and going back on his promise to give her an Upper East Side apartment worth $1.9 million as a gift. The New York Post announced on Thursday that the woman has filed a lawsuit against Soros.

The trial will take place at the Manhattan Supreme Court where 28 year old Adriana Ferreyr filed a $50 million suit. The woman claimed that the two had discussed the real estate deal while in bed. The mogul, whose wealth is estimated at $14.5 billion, and the actress have been dating for four years, before the man dumped Ferreyr a year ago.

After they had briefly reconciled, the man told the actress that he had given her apartment to another woman.

"While still in bed, Soros slapped Ferreyr across the face and proceeded to put his hands around her neck in an attempt to choke her," her lawsuit explained. After that the 80 year old man apparently tried to hit her with a glass lamp. He missed, but the actress cut her foot in the shards and the wound required three stitches.

A police report stated that she had called the officers, but no charges have been made. One of the billionaire’s friends stated that Soros "denies throwing the lamp and totally denies trying to choke her.”

"Mr. Soros did have an on-again, off-again and non-exclusive relationship with Ms. Ferreyr," Soros' lawyer, William Zabel said. "The complaint is riddled with false charges and is obviously an attempt to extract money from my client, who is a very wealthy man. The police investigated the ... incident referred to and concluded that no assault occurred ... George Soros did not slap, choke or throw a lamp at her."
