For one day, the media talked about the research of Oxfam International [here:
https://www.oxfam.org/en/pressroom/pressreleases/2017-01-16/just-8-men-own-same-wealth-half-world ] showing that the wealth of the 8 main billionaires exceeds that of the half poor of the world population, 3.6 billion.
The eight are:
Bill Gates - 75 billions $
Amancio Ortega - 67 billions $
Warren Buffett - 60,8 billions $
Carlos Slim Helu - 50 billions $
Jeff Bezos - 45,2 billions $
Mark Zuckerberg - 44.6 billions $
Larry Ellison - 43,6 billions $
Michael Bloomberg - 40 billions $
Added together, their wealth worth 426,2 billions $.
In the rank of the top eight does not appear the name Rothschild. For various reasons: here we have not to do with individuals, but with a dynasty, whose members govern private fixed capital fiduciaries - no company (scalable), but only family businesses, carefully stolen from the goyim financial markets, and cross-shareholdings.
In short, it is still the structure established by the founder in the 18th century, Mayer Amschel Rothschild. Based in Germany, the ancestor scattered her five children in several European capitals, each equipped with capital and knowledge to open up a business bank: Paris, Frankfurt, London, Vienna and Naples (it was one of the States with the most prosperous finances). It was thus the first international holding of credit, which took advantage of the European wars triggered by the Jacobin Revolution and Napoleon. Lending money to the States that the wars got into debts (typically, to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to the British), from which it accepted securities and treasury bills, and taking all the good opportunities to take the financial control of the most various industries, in shortage of liquid assets.
The son who was more successful was the one who settled in London, Nathan Meyer Rothschild: he married Hannah Barent Cohen and from her he had seven sons and a substantial financial gift; in 1811, during the Napoleonic Wars, he financed the British war effort de facto almost alone - without neglecting to fund even the Bonaparte, in secret. On 18 July 1815 it was a courier of Rothschil & Sons who informed the British government that in Waterloo things went wrong for Napoleon; the government did not believe it and then Nathan played the game: he began to sell off the British debt securities, as if he knew that soon they would be waste paper. Other wealthy British, in a panic, did the same; the stock market collapsed. Anonymous strong hands (Rothschild's agents) had already been buying up bonds at bankruptcy liquidation prices; when the news that Napoleon lost at Waterloo arrived, Nathan was the owner of the London Stock Exchange. Yet in 2015, UK is returning in installments the capital borrowed from Rothschild.
Today, the riches of the dynasty remain unimaginable; it can largely disguising with the method of non-listed companies, which do not publish financial statements, where family members work and are employed directly, with consanguineous marriages, heirs who continue to work closely together; for two centuries, a quarrel between relatives, which has produced a split of wealth, capital and enterprises, never appeared to light. No coincidence that the motto of the family, under the red shield, is (in Latin) "Concordia, Integritas, Industry".
In addition to the financial companies N.M. Rothschild & Son of London and the Edmond de Rothschild Group in Switzerland, the dynasty has incalculable stakes in banks, real estates, mining and energy. The vineyards that one or the other member have in France, South Africa, California, South Africa and Australia, are activities to leisure. The important investments, in "global investment", are not visible at all. Some doubt if the Rothschilds are today what was the company of Nathan, which became virtually the central banker of Europe, covering public debt, national saving banks, financing public infrastructure during the industrial revolution.
So you can not asses if the site Investopedia tells the truth [here:
http://www.investopedia.com/updates/rothschild-family-net-worth-explained/ ], who tried to make a rough assessment and decrees (without specifying the assets and activities) that the wealth that the dynasty controls now amounts to $ 2 trillion: 2000 billion. If true, it means that the Rothschilds are eight times richer than the eight richest billionaires.
