The Rothschild family is a wealthy family descending from Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a court Jew to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the Free City of Frankfurt, who establishes his banking business in the 1760s.

Unlike most previous court Jews, Rothschild manages to bequeath his wealth and establishes an international banking family through his five sons, who establish themselves in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna, and Naples.

During the nineteenth century, the Rothschild family possesses the largest private fortune in the world, as well as the largest private fortune in modern world history.

he family's wealth is divided among various descendants, and today their interests cover a diverse range of fields, including financial services, real estate, mining, energy, mixed farming, winemaking, and nonprofits.

The Rothschild family has frequently been the subject of conspiracy theories, many of which contain anti-Jewish views.
