What is the status of the legendary Rothschild family?

The Rothschild Family is a well-known financial family in Europe and the world. It was born in the early 19th century, and its founder was Mayer Amschel Rothschild (Mayer Amschel Rothschild). He and his five sons, the "Roche Five Tigers" successively opened banks in famous European cities such as London, Paris, Vienna, Austria, Frankfurt, Germany, and Naples, Italy. The Rothschild family today is just one of the top 20 investment banks in the world.

I used to work in London and Hong Kong Rothschild, the translation of Rothschild is widely known because of "Currency War", and the official name we use is Roth You. Roche is not only involved in financial art and winery, in fact, family members are in all walks of life.

What I know better is Rothschild & Co (NM Rothschild & Sons) where I worked, which is Roth's investment bank. It is different from bulge brackets such as Morgan Goldman Sachs in that it is a family-controlled investment bank (family holding 49.5%, voting rights 58.4%), and no independent ECM business (such as helping companies go public). When I was at Roche, the ECM business I participated in was carried out in cooperation with ABN Amro, which was generally in the top ten. According to Rothschild & Co's latest annual report, its 2017 fiscal year revenue was 1.767 billion euros, mainly from three parts: Global Advisory, Private Wealth & Asset Management and Merchant Banking. Global Advisory mainly includes mergers and acquisitions, financing, and strategic consulting services, which is Roche's traditional strong business. According to the number of completed M&A transactions, it ranked first in the world and Europe in 2017. If ranked by income, it ranks fifth in the world. Private Wealth & Asset Management mainly includes private wealth management, trust, and asset management. Currently, assets under management are 66.6 billion euros. Merchant Banking mainly includes corporate Private Equity, secondaries, multi-managers&x27; funds and co-investments, direct lending, and credit management. Currently, assets under management are 6.2 billion euros. In general, Rothschild & Co has the strongest investment banking business in Europe, generally ranking among the top three. It is slightly worse in North America and Asia, generally in the top ten.

Roche is a family with a long history. Like many Jewish families, they act low-key. The information of most members is not publicly disclosed, and it is difficult to accurately assess the scale of their wealth. In terms of public information alone, three members have been included in the Forbes wealth list. They are Jeff Rothschild, Benjamin de Rothschild and Nathaniel Rothschild.

Many people don’t know that Jeff Rothschild joined Facebook in 2005. He was the oldest employee of Facebook at the time, about the age of Zuckerberg’s father. In 2012, he became the Vice President of Infrastructure Software of Facebook and owns approximately 18 million Facebook shares.

Jeff is 66 years old and is worth about US$3-50 billion. Jeff is the son of Beverley and William B. Rothschild, his father William B. Rothschild is the chairman of M. Rothschild & Company, and the company is managed by his grandfather Marcus Rothschild was founded, mainly engaged in commodity trading. However, Jeff's main wealth is not inherited from his parents, but from his Facebook stock. And he was already a successful entrepreneur before joining Facebook. Jeff first worked at Honeywell and Intel as an engineer, and then at a consulting company. Founded Veritas Software in 1988 (merged with Symantec in 2005), and Mpath Interactive in 1995 (successfully listed in 1999). Jeff later joined the well-known venture capital Accel Partners. In 2003, he founded another company Mendocino Software, but it closed in 2008.

Many people already know that today Rothschild's impact on the world, especially the financial market, has been minimal. The NM Rothschild Group is still alive, with branches in 30 countries, including Paris and the belated New York. In 2001, its profit was 134 million U.S. dollars. Compared with Citigroup’s 21 billion U.S. dollars, it was not enough to cram teeth. Although the wealth of the Rothschild family is still difficult for ordinary people to reach, their preferences and results of several major investments have run through the history of the family's rise and fall, and they also tell people that the Rothschild family can make mistakes just like ordinary people.
