The Rothschild family’s history dates back to the 16th century but truly began in Germany in the mid-18th century when Mayer Amschel Rothschild gained recognition as a successful businessman. Toward the end of the century, he made his five sons partners in the family business, allowing them to learn the ropes firsthand.
For over 250 years, the Rothschild family has passed down a legacy of creativity and innovation. Today, their prestigious name shines across various fields, including finance, philanthropy, winemaking, science, fine arts, and sailing. Each generation continues to build upon a heritage that blends modernity with timeless elegance. The five arrows in the Rothschild family crest represent the five brothers who founded this entrepreneurial dynasty—the five sons of Mayer Amschel Rothschild.
