Rothschild family
European financial empire
The Rothschild family is a European banking dynasty of Jewish origin, established in the late 18th century by Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt.
His five sons spread across Europe's financial capitals, building an unprecedented international banking network.
The name has become shorthand for immense inherited wealth and financial influence.
In antisemitic conspiracy theories, "the Rothschilds" serves as code for supposed Jewish control of global finance—claims that distort the family's actual historical role and echo centuries-old tropes about Jewish money and power.
