After handing over the reins of his powerful Open Society Foundations to his son, George Soros has quietly been transferring parts of his property empire over to one of his most trusted advisers, according to records seen by The Post.The 94-year-old reclusive ex-banker and philanthropist, worth $25 billion, has transferred seven properties over to Judy Blum of Soros Fund Management within the last year, according to the records.Soros has amassed an impressive portfolio of at least 11 houses and properties in Katonah, an affluent suburb of New York City in Westchester County.However, locals claim Soros is “like a ghost” as he has never seen in or around the town.“He never participates in the community and never visits the local restaurants.He has chefs who deliver him food.
