Billionaire investor George Soros had a lot to celebrate on Saturday evening: his 82nd birthday and the engagement to his much younger girlfriend Tamiko Bolton.

Soros and Bolton, who met in the spring of 2008, formally announced their engagement at a party at Soros' summer home in Southampton, New York, attended by a small group of friends and relatives, according to a person familiar with the trader.

Soros proposed to Bolton, 40, a few weeks ago during a weekend visit to the Hamptons, a summer beachside colony on Long Island frequented by New York's wealthy.

For Soros, this will be his third marriage and the second for Bolton, who was married briefly in the 1990s. Soros has five children from his previous marriages.

1. Damn. Why can't I find an elderly billionaire to marry?

But I guess I'm probably too old to be a rich octogenarian's trophy wife - I'm over 40.

7. Well, not all elderly men who marry far younger women are mega-rich.

Just ask Mike Malloy (whose wife produces his radio show and is about 35 years younger than him).

9. Congrats!

Age doesn't matter much when both parties are over 40.
