Quote:And he just got himself a post at a pretty decent school, too.AH, yes, sorry, great grandson. Should have cracked the book to make sure on that one. As to family/personal, no, not in the least. Part of what made that family so uniquely successful was the depth family wealth gave them: if Vienna was down, London tided them over. If Frankfurt was down, Paris tided them over, and so on, while other banks/finance houses rose and fell with boom and bust cycles.
Nathan? He'd be a great-grandson, not a grandson. He does seem the most likely candidate, being the first Baron. Like all the Rothschilds, though, there is the problem of separating out family wealth from personal wealth.
Cheers. :D

Some things don't change, as I see it. The boom and bust, and the latest bust, are still with us, with this bust having been born in America from multiple fathers. Won't wander off to that topic, too many opinions on that already.
