To find the value of 1850 British pounds in US dollars, you would need the current exchange rate.

Therefore, 1850 pounds would be roughly between 2,405 and 2,590 US dollars, but it's best to check the latest exchange rate for an accurate conversion.

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.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/How_much_is_the_Rothschild_family_worth#ixzz1JJjgfYbN

In Victorian times, 15 shillings would have been equivalent to 75 pence in the British currency system. The shilling was a unit of currency used in the United Kingdom before decimalization in 1971. It was equal to 12 pence or 1/20th of a pound. Therefore, 15 shillings would be worth 75 pence or 3/4 of a pound in Victorian times.
