Soros was well paid:

MRC discovered that the State Department and USAID committed $11,091,856 collectively in grant money split from 2007-2014 between the Open Society Institute and the Alliance for Open Society International (AOSI), the “legal operating name” for Open Society Institute-Baltimore, which was later announced to be shuttering in 2023. Over $8 million of that figure was from the State Department to OSI for the purpose of administering the Edmund S. Muskie/FREEDOM Support Act Graduate Fellowship Program on behalf of the agency. “MUSKIE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM GRANT TO THE OPEN SOCIETY INST,” the grant’s description stated. It's unclear exactly how much of the funding was physically outlayed to date, but OSF's deception is palpable. An archived version of the State Department website, noted the specifics of the relationship between Soros and the State Department’s Muskie program: The Muskie/FSA Program, administered on behalf of ECA by the American Councils for International Education and the Open Society Institute, is part of the Department of State's public diplomacy effort to foster mutual understanding between the United States and other countries through educational and training programs. American "public diplomacy" clearly included collaboration with radical-left foundations.
