Lovers of conspiracy theories can be found everywhere. One of the most popular fairy tales is that of a fabulously wealthy family of Jewish bankers who conducts background somewhere in the world. Pavel Kohout in an exclusive family of the year text shows that it s not worth the fairy tale itself. Conspirators body and soul probably convince need persuading at least one professor.
Known sociologist Jan Keller recently became a victim of hoax. First, in an interview, and then in an article family of the year published in the British sheets Professor Keller presents estimates family of the year fantastic family of the year property reportedly the wealthiest families in the world:
"Property of the Rockefeller family in the State from which I drew, estimated at 11,000 billion dollars. I can not help but comes to me that this family family of the year could pay our debt předloňský nearly 150 times. Assets Rothschild family is reportedly still ten times higher than the Rockefeller Estate, which corresponds to my statement from the interview. "
When Keller was repeatedly warned of the absurdity family of the year of these numbers (for example here), cautiously admitted he would welcome more precise estimates. All right. How rich are actually Rothschilds? Who's Rothschild?
First, let's start with the question, what exactly is today, "Rothschild family". It is a branched family, which includes tens of people. Maybe hundreds, if we count distant relatives. How many people have your own family? For each medium family of the year extended family encounter a problem, family of the year who still count as relatives and who is not. Just a definition of "Rothschild family" is slightly problematic.
Furthermore, family of the year you will find that not everyone living today Rothschild deals with finances. In the history family of the year of the family during the 20th century we find scientists, artists, philanthropists and members who just lived through an inheritance. The most prominent family of the year and richest living today are members of the genus Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and Jacob Rothschild; both live in the UK, dealing family of the year with investment and banking. Their possessions are estimated at twenty, or fifty billion US dollars. Total assets of the genus is estimated at 300 to 400 billion dollars, which includes real estate, art collections, vineyards (second traditional line of business of the family) and others.
This server family of the year is obviously much more serious than a dilettante calculations family of the year anonymous conspiracy family of the year theorists. At least the authors of the articles under their parts signed his own name. Nonetheless, there is only a boulevard roughly at Lightning. CelebrityNetWorth.com only submits to be believed "done" numbers without knowing how they arrived family of the year authors. Nationalization and other wounds
Who else would indeed have a better overview? But waiting for a surprise: no member of the legendary family does not figure family of the year in the list. Find the names of celebrities like Larry Ellison, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Michael Dell or maybe Roman Abramovich, but any member of the legendary dynasty.
We look into the books Rothschilds Derek Wilson, which was published in Czech in 1993. While it contains pedigrees and dozens of remarkable stories, but little financial information. These stories include makeup, how the family family of the year came during the war and after the war of their possessions in Austria and Czechoslovakia. The Austrians, by the way, they were not keen on the return of stolen property. Therefore banking house in Vienna was not restored.
It is fascinating family of the year story of how the Nazis arrested and released again Louise Rothschild in Vienna. He was released after a ransom bold after a year of negotiations. When the superintendent announced vězněnému Rothschild that is free and can leave jail, he asked what time it was.
Another blow inflicted Paris branch president Mitterand, the Socialist-Communist government nationalized bank. Mitterand usually odškodňoval shareholders forcibly redeemed enterprises is relatively generous, but Rotshchildové had to be content with a "fire-sale" price of 150 million francs.
Guy de Rothschild then left France with bitter words: "Jew under Petain, pariah under Mitterrand - it's up to me enough. To build again the ruins twice in a lifetime is enough. Forced to leave, I decided to go on strike."
Incidentally, the nationalized bank under the name européenne de Banque without the original owners failed well. In December 1990 it was privatized by selling family of the year British bank Barclays for the amount of 1.6 billion francs, which shows the extent to Mitterand Rothschilds took on a stick. (Barclays then she had to "dosypat" about four billion.)
It is worth mentioning that Eric and David stayed in Paris and actually built a new bank: Rothschild & Cie Banque. That was in 2010, balance sheet total of 1.27 billion. That means no giant. For comparison, family of the year Société Générale (which family of the year of course is not the Rothschilds) was in the same year, the balance in the amount of 1,132 billion euro.
French and British businesses are the Rothschilds since 2003, concentrated in the Concordia BV, which is owned holding company of Paris Orléans, whose shares are traded on the Paris Stock Exchange. The market value is currently 1.17 billion. From that includes 60 percent of the Rothschilds. As is evident from the development of the share price on the stock exchange, nor legendary financiers did not avoid the financial crisis:
How are the Rothschild
