What is the net worth of the Rothschild family?

Although the source is rotten, those appear to be real old newspaper articles.

But the whole thing is a so what. Take John D. Rockefeller.

The higher figure is ten times the current wealth of Bill Gates and more than the top 40 individuals on the Forbes 400 American billionaires combined.

Yet there is only one Rockefeller on that list: David, at 159 with a mere $2.5 billion. Splitting the wealth among an ever-increasing number of family members, along with huge charitable contributions, keeps a few of them wealthy but de-concentrated that wealth to piddly proportions on a world scale.

Same with the Rothschilds. I’d need better sources than 19th century newspaper articles for their contemporary wealth - newspapers liked big numbers then as much as today and didn’t have the resources to check them out if they tried - but even assuming they were number 1 in the world in 1875 says exactly nothing about their position today. The world has moved on: only conspiracies never change.

Was his removal on order of the Rothschilds? Their influence even extends to this message board, doesn’t it?

:smiley:

One thing I’ve observed about CTists, when delving into matters such as the Federal Reserve/World Bank, etc., is some of them have an insistence on identifying the financial or corporate Illuminati in terms of families. Not of affinity or common interest groups, but of families. And the Rothschilds are a convenient target due to their background and the fact that since they’re no longer particularly extraordinary in the world of finance, they’ve fallen largely outside the public stage so people are not up to date on what’s up with them.

But another thing is, when at their peak it doesn’t sound like they were particularly conspiratorial. ISTM like everyone knew who they were and what they did and where to find them, and that they had money by the boxcar; and they would acquire noble titles and appear in the society pages. Some shadowy cabal!

And us morons appreciate it.:smiley:

there is a good book titled “founder” that can give you a good backround on how the family got started and worked. it is about meyer rothschild and how he lived, worked, and gave the famiy a strong foundation.

the 5 brothers worked fairly well with each other and married within the family or within a rather close group of friends.

they and many wealthy families of that time had a way of holding the family money. the women got small portions if unmarried, the eldest son the lion’s share and any other sons would get a tad bit more than their spinster sister.

i’m sure things have spread out a bit moneywise, and marriage wise with the rothschilds as with many very wealthy families. once you start splitting money and assets evenly amoung your children and they go off and marry someone outside the family and wealth circle, you only have 10 million or so, instead of 10 hundred million.

Do not be so hasty.
The Rothschilds of London own over 90% of the worlds gold…and set the worlds gold price every morning.
They also own de Beers…heard of them…DIAMONDS.
Cecil Rhodes worked for them…not himself.
They own the reserve bank of America.
They own USB Warburg.
They own Reuters.
They own almost all the worlds major banks.
Want to know more…well this is just the London branch.
The German branch owns the German banks.
The Italian branch owns the Italian banks.
The French branch owns the French banks.
Getting the picture now.
They control OVER 50% of the worlds wealth…and every country owes them money.
When a country needs to borrow…they must go to a Rothschild owned or controlled bank.

Your post would not have been the same without the dramatic pauses. 10 points.

One interesting claim that might be hard to debunk is that Rothschild influence was behind the alleged disappearance of papyri (which may have shed light on the true story of Exodus) from Tutankhamen’s tomb. It does seem clear that Howard Carter and a very small group which included the grand-daughter of Alfred Charles de Rothschild made an early unauthorized visit to the tomb. Carter’s patron, George Herbert Earl Carnaervon, was in financial trouble until he got a huge dowry by marrying the (illegitimate) daughter of Alfred Rothschild.

Also, it was Rothschild money that provoked the 1929 crash (they wanted to increase the price of their gold, and cover their shorts), financed Al-Qaeda, and staged the Moon landing hoax. They may have been behind the JFK assassination. (I don’t have cites for these; do you for yours, Rasskle ? )

Huh. Do you have a cite (for that specific part of your post)?

Just think of what their family has done to the wine industry!

The Antechamber was officially first visited 27 November 1922, but Carter and company made an unauthorized visit on the 26th. More significantly they made an unauthorized visit to the King’s Inner Sanctum on about the 29th, though its official opening was not until 16 February 1923.

From a typewritten draft by Lord Carnarvon, dated 10 December 1922 (now held by British Museum) as quoted in Tutankhamen (The Exodus Conspiracy) by Andrew Collins and Chris Ogilvie-Herald:

Working with papers of Alfred Lucas, Hoving gives a different reconstruction:

A confession of the breach into the Inner Room is described in the diary of Mervyn Herbert, diplomat and half-brother of Carnarvon. (I’ll excerpt that too, if you wish, but I’m typing this all by hand.)

I was just thinking of this myself. A Chateau Lafite Rothschild can go for many thousands of dollars, sight unseen, and its
price may double in coming years as it matures.

One bottle of wine.

Now that’s power.

The current Forbes Billionaires issue lists Nathanial Rothschild at 1 billion dollars. Nothing about the rest.

Rhodes got funding for his company from Rothschild banks, but those were just loans and investment capital. He owned his own company, which became De Beers when it merged with the Barnato Diamond Mining Company (set up by Barney Barnato and his brother). In 1927, a company called Anglo-American Mining Company, set up by J.P Morgan and Ernst Oppenheimer got control (Anglo American has all sorts of mines, and is the leading producer of platinum.)

I assume John Grisham has recently joined to practice his free verse.

I’m inclined to agree with the brother that showing thier history, and that sister (above) that there worth is some in the 100 trill. range. These ppl are fithy rich beyond their own imagination, if they weren’t why is it that absolutely no one isable to pin their monetry worth. Listen Up, if they can pin Bill Gates financial wealth, and others like him, then what is the whole matter concerning the Rothchilds.

And People, please look for the “information turncoats’” of society, those people who’s job it is to dicredit plausible knowledge, with fabrications of misleading information, or with wimsical alligations of the conspiracy theorist syndrome (that is throwing out the phrase loosely, to cause people to turn away from the one speaking the truth), or to make statemente of smoke to cloud/shroud the truth.

Some people are just plain ignorant (for the ignorant that means without knowledge or wisdom) and make statements that confount the evident truth in other peoples eye (mind), and thereby further dividing us as a whole species, but you have others that are actually paid by these rich greedy accult devil worshipers to have you decieved in and on mass.

Dont believe me, just check out our rescent catastrophies, and those senister plots behind them. You people had better start tuning out of you own selfish lives, because, something devilish this way comes!

This is the edited version, my apologies for typing in the dark.

I’m inclined to agree with the brother that showing their history, and that sister (above) showing that thier net worth is some where in the 100 trill. range. These people are fithy rich beyond their own imagination, if they weren’t why is it that absolutely no one is able to pin their monetary worth.

Listen, if they can pin Bill Gates financial wealth, and others like him, then what is the whole matter concerning the Rothchilds.

Some people are just plain ignorant (for the ignorant that means without knowledge or wisdom or self-control) and make statements that confound the evident truth in small minds, and thereby further dividing us as a whole species, but you have others that are actually paid by these rich greedy accult devil worshipers to have you decieved in and on mass, and therby destroy us as a whole species.

Dont believe me, just check out our rescent catastrophies, and those senister plots behind them. You people had better start tuning away from living a selfish life, because, something devilish this way comes!

Nonsense. Castles, unlike Bill Gates’ futuristic house, are the very foundation and paragon of wealth. That the wealth of the Rothschild family has been exceeded by lots of people, in China, India - point taken. However, look at Kensington Palace Gardens. Most of the current occupants of the street are embassies. Leonard Blavatnik, a Russian businessman, has a residence there. So does Indian steel tycoon, Lakshmi Mittal. But look who the previous residents were - the Rothschild family. See also: Château de Ferrières.

And how’s Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook been doing lately?

I’m sorry, does it make me a bad person for reading this post in Boris Badanov’s voice? Sen-is-ter. Heh.
