Thanks in large part to the persistence of their baking empire, the Rothschild family is estimated to have a collective net worth of roughly $400 billion. While no individual member of the family is the richest person in the world, that collective net worth means that they live in incredible luxury, as their family has for generations. This is true even though the current Rothschilds are less wealthy than they were at some points in their history.
The Rothschilds
Historic banking family
Net worth: $400 Billion
The Rothschilds are among the wealthiest families in the world, and that wealth comes from generations of success in the banking industry. That success first began in the 1760s, and throughout much of the 19th century, the Rothschilds were considered the wealthiest family in the world. Although their influence has waned in more recent years, they still remain among the most wealthy people on the planet.
