How much are the Rothchilds worth?

Answer 1

In 1850, it was estimated that the family was worth 6 billion dollars. However today it is estimated that the whole family itself is worth in the range of $1.5 billion according to Forbes top 100 richest people. This number is highly speculative since each generation waters down the traceable (real worth) of the Rothchilds. This is largely due to marriage of the Rothchild women who no longer carry the name. That being said, this family has been in the business for hundreds of years. To say that the entire family is worth 1.5 billion is questionable at best. To put things in perspective George Lucas has been making movies for thirty years and has been able to amass an individual net worth of 3.5 billion dollars. So in 261 years, all the wars, all the interest collected on these wars, they only have amassed 1.5 billion dollars? The real answer here as to the net worth of the Rothchild family is, we do not know. All we can do is guess.
