Which suggest that the entire Rothschild family fortune is £40bn. There's a lot of people in the family, and that's just a rumor. The only actual figure there is the £500M.
Maybe they are still leaving the inheritances to the male line, it is after all Rothschild and Sons. But whatever, they are all working in concert as can be seen at the beginning of the dynasty where one sets up shop in London, another in Paris and New york etc... each helping the other as one. The sons increased the family wealth, opposite to Cairenn's theory that it diffuses or dilutes it.
Maybe you are right and they are just some rich guys who do not affect us and should be simply left alone to enjoy themselves. Or maybe they are scheming conniving low lifes who just want to increase their wealth and power by any means possible and will go to any lengths to do it no matter who gets hurt?

Less salacious, but seemingly more sordid, was an earlier dinner at Cantinetta Antinori, a fashionable Tuscan restaurant in Moscow. Mr Deripaska, the Mail had claimed, was dining with executives from the US aluminium giant Alcoa, negotiating a £250m deal to buy two of Mr Deripaska's aluminium plants, at which a stumbling block was an EU import tariff on Russian aluminium. Enter Lord Mandelson, then a lowly Mister, but at the time the EU Trade Commissioner. The deal is done, costing several hundred British jobs, and the tariffs come down.
That leading politicians, bankers and businessmen associate with each other in fashions that blur the boundaries between work and pleasure is a secret too great to be maintained with any success, but it doesn't make the details, on the rare occasions they actually emerge, any more palatable.
A spokesman for the Daily Mail said: "This case is a reminder, at a time when newspapers are under attack for invading privacy, that the rich and powerful regularly use the law to prevent legitimate scrutiny of their activities. Had the Mail lost this case, it could have incurred costs of more than one million pounds.
