By many measures, this Rothschild heir is not worth mentioning. He seemingly is very good at losing money, he parties hard, and he married a page 3 (topless) model. Not exactly someone who might secretly rule the planet.
But then again, from what is publicly known:
- Only son and heir apparent of Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild
- His actual inheritance “hidden in a series of trusts in Switzerland is rumoured to be worth £40bn” – which would make him one of the world’s richest people
- Klosters, the Swiss village where he lives, was also home to Jewish billionaire (and friend of arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi) Peter Munk, distant relative Guy Spier, and British politician Peter Mandelson (who is Jewish, is a Bilderberg attendee and has ties with the Rothschilds). Next door to Klosters is Davos, which hosts the World Economic Forum…
- He is on the advisory board of the innocuous-sounding Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, which is primarily focussed on the topics of defence and war – which does seem like a fit based on what is publicly known about him…
And very, very interesting (for us) is that his grandmother was Lady Mary Sybil St. Clair-Erskine, daughter of the 5th Earl of Rosslyn. Yes, as in Rosslyn Chapel.
So he is potentially of interest to us, and worth keeping an eye on.
