Uber-liberal billionaire George Soros infused "the bulk of his wealth" -- $18 billion -- into his charity arm Tuesday, making the philanthropic organization second only to Bill and Melinda Gates' Foundation in U.S. assets and further extending and strengthening the reach of Soros' tentacles worldwide. Soros is expected to transfer another $2 billion to his foundation in the years ahead, The New York Times reported.
