Here is the story of the fantastic success of the Rothschild dynasty, whose surname has long become synonymous with luxury, extravagance, and impeccable manners.
This book finally lifts the curtain on the life of a family that—just like the Rockefellers, Kennedys, or the Windsors—has still been shrouded in rumors and conspiracy theories.
The author of the book, Ellie de Rothschild Jr., a direct descendant of the first Rothschild, describes the history of his family vividly and wittily, showing that their greatness was achieved not through conspiratorial methods, but thanks to unwritten rules that every member of the clan consistently followed.
How did the Rothschilds build their empire in a world full of hatred toward Jews?
Is it true that one of the Rothschilds earned 20 million francs from Napoleon’s defeat?
Why did the dynasty’s founder send his five sons to different sides of the world?
And what secrets of accumulation, preservation, and multiplying money do the Rothschilds continue to pass down from generation to generation?
Answers to these questions are in the captivating book by Ellie de Rothschild Jr.
