00:01How would you spend 10 trillion dollars?
00:04Buy a garage full of sports cars?
00:07Build a mansion as big as Vatican City?
00:10If you're wise, you'd follow the Rothschild's example.
00:14They spend money in the billions,
00:17but only where it counts.
00:20They don't buy, they invest.
00:23So imagine the all-out surprise
00:25when Nat Rothschild bought the $85 million Planet 9 superyacht.
00:31The name, of course, comes from being larger than Pluto itself.
00:36No wonder the science community decided
00:38the dwarf planet at the solar system's edge
00:40can no longer be named a planet.
00:43But who can resist seeing such beauty?
00:47Just look at her.
00:49One could argue Nat fell in love.
00:51Or maybe he was peer pressured by his wealthy friends
00:54into buying an ultra-luxurious yacht.
00:57Imagine everyone is going for a sale
00:59while poor Nat sits at the dock crying.
01:02He's a Rothschild, goddammit.
01:04He deserves better.
01:06Nay, he deserves the best.
01:09Indeed, Nat's purchase was seen as a rarity by all,
01:14and several other Rothschilds voiced their concerns.
01:17Still, Baron Edmund de Rothschild's grandson was firm.
01:22This is not a luxury.
01:25This is an investment.
01:28After all, who said that investments can't have an ultra-luxurious VIP suite?
01:34An owner's deck worth half of London?
01:37And nine other elegant cabins if you decide to host the G8 Summit on your yacht?
01:43After all, most tinfoil-hatted gentlemen around the world claim that the Rothschilds are ruling the world.
01:50So why hide it?
01:52To top it all off, the guests could also arrive by helicopter, since driving to the port is so plebeian.
02:01Regardless, Nat's adamant that this is nothing more than an investment.
02:06And though the Rothschild patriarchs might have a thing or two to say about that, our next entry is, without a doubt, something even Mayor Amschel Rothschild would find appealing.
02:18The Rothschilds are an old Ashkenazi Jewish family that originated in Frankfurt.
02:23During the mid-18th century, they lived in a small house in the Jewish ghetto, in Frankfurt.
02:29They shared their home with several other families.
02:33This house actually gave the Rothschilds their name.
02:36Back then, houses were distinguished not by a number, but rather by an emblem hanging above the door.
02:44So, Mayor Amschel, the first powerful Rothschild in history, was referred to as Mayor Amschel from the Red Shield, or in Old German, Der Rothschild.
02:56So, when Mayor's son, Nathan Rothschild, bought Gunnersbury Park in 1830 to build one truly astounding mansion, guess what was hanging above the door?
03:09Nathan Rothschild's story is a bit complicated.
03:13Once he came of age, he was sent to Great Britain to expand the Rothschild Empire inside the vast United Kingdom.
03:21After all, how can you control the entire world if you don't have agents in the Empire that covers a quarter of the globe?
03:30Nathan didn't take this mission well.
03:32Initially, he thought his father was disappointed in him and was chasing him away in a new, hostile and unknown land.
03:40It was only after Mayor died in 1812 that Nathan understood his father's decision.
03:46He sent Nathan not because he didn't trust him around the family business, but precisely because he trusted him, to succeed on his own in this hostile environment.
03:58Thus, Nathan decided to build a mansion to commemorate his father and put his crescent on one of the most expensive buildings at the time.
04:08Therefore, the son, who was too late to show his father the gratitude he deserved, bought some land for £17,000, equivalent to roughly $3 million today, and built paradise.
04:22Nathan transformed the deserted fields at Gunnersbury into a beautiful park with a central piece,
04:29a magnificent mansion filled to the teeth with tapestries, works of art, and all sorts of luxuries.
04:37The early 19th century kind.
04:40So when the house was sold just a hundred years later, the price rose a hundredfold,
04:46as they sold it for the staggering equivalent of $132 million in today's money.
04:53This was, by far, the most expensive house in England, not owned by the Crown.
05:00Still, with a $25 billion portfolio, this colossal estate looks like an overcrowded dormitory room,
05:09with a shared bathroom compared to the rest of their estates.
05:13Along with what's essentially real estate hoarding, spread over three continents,
05:18the Rothschilds have other passions as well.
05:22Wine and art are two things that the entire family takes to the extreme.
05:27You needn't look any further than Chateau Morton Rothschild to see that.
05:32The chateau itself is a piece of architectural landmark on its own.
05:37It dates back to the 12th century, when the first vineyards were seeded.
05:41In 1853, Nathaniel de Rothschild traveled alongside these parts of France when he stumbled upon this vast field of grapes.
05:51As a lover of good wine, he ordered a bottle of the finest wine, regardless of the price.
05:58Little did he know, this wine would haunt his dreams.
06:03He tried several other wines along his journey, yet none came even close to what Chateau Brain Mouton offered.
06:12It was like coke, only much more addictive.
06:16So, on his way back, Nathaniel made an offer that would skyrocket the previous owners into the rich man's life.
06:24After the purchase, Nathaniel renamed it Chateau Mouton Rothschild.
06:29Under the leadership of the Rothschild family, Chateau Mouton Rothschild has consistently produced some of the world's finest wines.
06:39But when you're a Rothschild, being the best in a business is the bare minimum.
06:44Baron Philippe de Rothschild was chilling out with a glass of his favorite wine one night,
06:49wondering how to spend a colossal amount of money and make this wine even better.
06:55Sitting in his favorite armchair, staring at the fireplace in front, Baron Philippe's gaze suddenly fixed on a painting hanging just on the right of the fireplace.
07:05It was a Picasso with its glorious cubic forms.
07:09Philippe thought about how art infinitely improves wine taste, and a grand idea came to his mind.
07:16Why not sell art along with the wine?
07:20Thus, since 1945, the bottles are genuine art pieces, as the labels are commissioned to famous artists like Francis Bacon and Picasso each year.
07:32This cost millions to the Rothschilds over the years, but can you genuinely place a price on combining two of your greatest passions?
07:40Well, actually you can. $700 a bottle. As I already told you, the Rothschilds spend only if they can make a profit in the long run.
07:49So, the Chateau Mouton Rothschild is one gorgeous mix of the family's most beloved passions.
07:55Is it any surprise that that Chateau is worth around $200 million today?
08:01Not that they will sell it anytime soon, but just having such lavish property is a statement on its own.
08:08To the Rothschilds' most expensive real estate, the story is just wholesome.
08:13It's a story about love. No, not the boring kind we've seen a thousand times.
08:18It's a story about the love between two siblings.
08:22Actually, there should be a movie about Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild and his little sister Alice.
08:28Ferdinand was eight years older than his sister, but he loved her to bits.
08:33So, when he was sent off to England at the age of 17, it was heartbreaking for both of them.
08:40Ferdinand was living in London while Alice was in Vienna.
08:44Twenty years would pass before they see each other again.
08:47And though they kept in touch only through the mail, the traditional one, which took two weeks to get from Great Britain to Austria,
08:54they couldn't be there for each other through the most challenging times in their lives.
09:00Ferdinand lost his child at birth and, just a few days later, his wife.
09:06But Alice was not allowed to comfort her brother.
09:09It was when her father died in 1874 that she finally left for England to reunite with her brother.
09:17Baron Ferdinand was so happy to see his little sister that he decided to build her a stunning home.
09:24One that would complement her elegance and beauty.
09:28Thus, the Wadison Manor came to be.
09:31The Baron spared no expense in building an architectural landmark.
09:36He invested 1.5 million British pounds, equivalent to 265 million USD today.
09:44There, Alice would spread her wings and become one of the biggest art collectors, socialites,
09:51and one of the most powerful women in the world at the time.
09:55She designed the home's interior and exterior, showcasing her class.
10:01But Wadison Manor was more than a home.
10:04It was a museum of Alice's and Ferdinand's extensive art collections.
10:09Tapestries, furniture, ceramics, books, and all sorts of treasures.
10:16Outside, the gardens cost Baron Ferdinand another fortune.
10:20As today, the manor's grounds alone would have cost the owner 86 million dollars.
10:26Still, that's a small price to pay for making your little sis happy, isn't it?
10:32Today, Wadison Manor is a museum of Alice's grand vision.
10:36There, the public can witness Baron Ferdinand and Alice's breathtaking art collections.
10:42Actually, if there is something in common between every single Rothschild,
10:48except, of course, with being five-dimensional lizards controlling the world with telekinetic powers,
10:53it is their love for art.
10:56The Rothschild's collection could fill entire cities with priceless pieces of art.
11:02Though, for insurance purposes, the main body of the art collection is valued at 2 billion dollars.
11:07The whole art collection is truly priceless.
11:12There are tapestries from the Byzantine Empire,
11:15antiques that date back to William the Conqueror time,
11:18and some conspiracy theories even suggest that the family owns several religious artifacts,
11:24like the Holy Grail, the original blueprints of Noah's Ark,
11:27and even locks of hair from Jesus Christ.
11:31Now, that sounds preposterous, even for the world's most wealthy and influential family.
11:36Stepping back to reality, their art collection was truly astounding.
11:41And no wonder a small-time garage painter, who later became a bloodthirsty, power-hungry, psychotic dictator,
11:47took a liking to the Rothschild's art pieces.
11:51Though not too keen on wealthy Jewish families,
11:54he didn't mind taking a sizable chunk of their collection during France's occupation from Nazi Germany.
12:01The small man with huge ambitions and a silly mustache personally arrived to pick up the loot.
12:073,500 pieces went missing.
12:11And although some were returned after the war,
12:13the majority are still scattered around the world, waiting to be found.
12:18Who knows?
12:19If you find one, the Rothschilds may even reward you,
12:22or at least take you for a spin in their interdimensional spaceship.
12:26But enough about the Rothschilds' luxurious purchases.
12:29This opulent family truly spends their money on investments.
12:33A lot of them.
12:34Some more liberal bleach users are adamant that the Rothschilds have a controlling share
12:39of all major banks in the world.
12:42Someone call JP Morgan and let them know they no longer have their own bank.
12:46Still, the power of the Rothschilds is undeniable.
12:49They have control over some of the biggest companies in the world.
12:54Wherever there is money to be made, the Rothschilds have investments.
12:58This is from the days of old.
13:00When in 1769, the Rothschild patriarch, Mayor Amschel Rothschild,
13:05was hired by the crowned prince, Wilhelm of Hesse.
13:09Once the young prince came into power in 1785,
13:13he appointed mayor to manage his kingdom's finances as a court Jew.
13:19Yes, yes, I know this title would raise an eyebrow or two these days.
13:22But back then, this was a rare honor.
13:25This was the highest position that any Jew may hope for in a Catholic-dominated Europe.
13:30Every wealthy aristocrat had a court Jew, whom they entrusted with managing their money.
13:36The Bible forbade lending money in exchange for profit.
13:40Most aristocrats in those days indeed had the moral compass of a drunken British soccer fan during a riot.
13:48But they had to keep their God-obeying appearance.
13:51Or they risked losing not only the respect of their peers, but their lands and wealth as well.
13:57Many Jews like the Rothschilds saw this as an opportunity to gain vast riches.
14:02Mayer invested the money he earned in a bank.
14:05This became a trend, where reinvesting the riches brought even more dough.
14:11So today, everywhere you look, the Rothschilds are there.
14:15Gas and petrol, for example.
14:17Agora Oil & Gas is at the forefront of the industry.
14:21The company was bought for merely $370 million.
14:25Spare change, really.
14:27Today, the company is worth well over $1.4 billion.
14:32In just under a decade, Lord Rothschild made a cool billion-dollar profit for the family.
14:40Now, striking oil in the North Sea just months after the family took control of the company didn't exactly disprove conspiracy theorists that the Rothschilds have powers beyond our comprehension.
14:51But, hey, it might just be luck.
14:54And with gas and oil prices soaring after the Covid pandemic, and the friendly neighborhood visit by Russia and Ukraine, this venture seems like a goldmine on its own.
15:04Still, while they did diversify their portfolio, the Rothschilds never forgot where their money came from initially.
15:11Banking indeed sounds like a good investment, especially if you have several trillion dollars in capital to secure your business.
15:20Their banking empire didn't grow without its fair share of controversies.
15:25In the 18th century, when wars were as common as sneezing, the Rothschilds clan ensured they were always on the winning side.
15:34How did they do that, I hear you asking?
15:38Well, they had a bank in every major country in Europe.
15:41Austria, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Great Britain, and later the United States.
15:47Thus, they made sure to finance both sides whenever there was a war.
15:52Profiting was inevitable.
15:55Over the years, keeping track of all their banks became a chore, especially in the 20th century, when banks began spreading like mushrooms after rain.
16:04Thus, Jacob Rothschild had a brilliant idea.
16:08He established a trust that would consolidate and operate all family banks in the United Kingdom.
16:15So, the Rothschild Investment Trust was born.
16:19This industry giant is worth more than $7.7 billion, despite selling off their Royal Bank of Scotland shares in 1985.
16:31Since each giant corporation needs an equally impressive headquarters, Jacob bought the famous Spencer House to ensure RIT Capital Partners employees would feel dominated and humbled whenever they came to work.
16:45This palace, nestled in the heart of London, is truly a prized possession of the RIT, with its golden decoration, antique furniture, and art pieces by renowned masters hanging on every wall.
16:59The house was renovated in the late 1980s and is widely known as London's most extensive renovation of the 20th century.
17:08Indeed, a title befitting this massive and ultra-expensive project, costing £35 million.
17:17Today, this lavish house is worth north of $100 million.
17:22A pretty good price for what's essentially a palace in the middle of London.
17:26Unfortunately, it's not really on the market, so don't expect to see a particular Saudi prince waltzing inside anytime soon.
17:35Indeed, when it comes to the Rothschild's investments, the $7.7 billion worth of RIT is nothing but pocket change.
17:44After all, money is for chumps.
17:47The truly wealthy measure their riches in pounds, or more accurately, in carrots.
17:54Being the family responsible for the myth that Jews hoard all the world's gold, one can easily conclude how much gold the family owns.
18:03Hint, it's a lot of it.
18:05They not only have gold bars, but also own several gold mines across the world.
18:11Those, however, are not the most profitable mines in their portfolio.
18:15This honor goes to Rio Tinto.
18:18The mining corporation is worth $103 billion and is the second largest metal mining corporation in the world.
18:28Moreover, Rio Tinto is a testament to the Rothschild's industrial spirit.
18:33It was just a small local mining operation when they bought the company 150 years ago.
18:40Today, Rio Tinto is the biggest producer of copper in the world, with a yearly turnover of $30 billion.
18:49Not a bad purchase indeed, and a tough act to follow if you ask me.
18:54Actually, this was always a huge cloud hanging above every Rothschild in history.
19:01They needed to be better to make their ancestors proud.
19:05Edmund Adolfo de Rothschild was no different, except he was a bit down on his luck.
19:11Though he had a brilliant education in Geneva and a secure job as a banker, Edmund didn't seem to shine in any way.
19:19His father often told him the family story and gave his cousins as examples of success.
19:26More often than not, Edmund felt his father wanted to have his cousins as children, rather than him.
19:32Thus, he decided to prove his father wrong, and future generations to point at his portrait when giving examples of a successful Rothschild.
19:42And, oh boy, did he manage to do that.
19:46In 1953, when he was only 27, Edmund established La Compagne Financière, hoping to become the leading global inter-dealer broker.
19:57Just half a century later, his legacy is worth nearly $212 billion.
20:05The company is managing financial operations in Switzerland, which along with its chocolate, unwillingness to join sides, and incredibly photogenic cows, is also well known for its superior banking sector.
20:19Today, the company is run by Edmund's son, Benjamin de Rothschild, who managed to expand the business to over 30 countries.
20:28Who knows?
20:29One day, Benjamin may even surpass the most expensive investment the Rothschild family ever made, the Glencore Mining Company.
20:39When you own a company employing 145,000 people, it's hard to explain how you don't have power over a particular government.
20:48Imagine 145,000 people going on a protest because you decided to follow some ecological policies and decided to limit mining in certain areas.
20:59That's the power the Rothschilds wield in Australia.
21:02So, you don't want coal-fueled industries in your country.
21:06Good luck.
21:07When Glencore puts out more than 110 million tons annually, they need markets to sell it.
21:14So, either you play ball, or you're out of office in the next election cycle.
21:19Thus, this megacorporation, owning several mines and the world's largest deposit of zinc and lead, is worth nearly $130 billion.
21:29So, yeah, some of the conspiracies about the Rothschilds may actually turn out true.
21:37Indeed, no other family can come even close to the colossal Rothschild family wealth.
21:44However, there's one family that's on their way to surpass the Rothschilds and their vast political power and immense wealth.
