George Orson Welles, Jr. (born August 19, 1953) is the first son of President Orson Welles and Janet McHenry. Welles graduated at Harvard University in 1976 as a lawyer. In 1978 he married Susan Aston, daughter of a rich car industrialist (just like his father did with his mother, Janet McHenry, also the daughter of a rich industrialist). Using his father's and Aston's fortune he began to invest into the mass media industry. A few years later he was the owner of three news channels and a huge media empire. At the age of 30 he was among the wealthiest men in the United States. He began practicing politics in the early 1980s. In 1987 he divorced from Aston and married actress Brooke Shields.
