Rothschild Family Wealth is Five Times that of World’s Top 8
Billionaires Combined
January 20, 2017
A recent report by Oxfam International highlights the dramatic rise in
income equality by noting that the combined wealth of the world’s top 8
individual billionaires is more than the lower half of the world’s
population, some 3.6 billion people. The intention of the report was to
bring awareness to the unfairness and injustice inherent in our global
economic system.
“It calls for a fundamental change in the way we manage our
economies so that they work for all people, and not just a fortunate
few.” [Oxfam]
Listed below are the 8 billionaires along with their estimated wealth,
which combined equals $426.2 billion.
Bill Gates – $75 b
Amancio Ortega – $67 b
Warren Buffett – $60.8 b
Carlos Slim Helu – $50 b
Jeff Bezos – $45.2 b
Mark Zuckerberg – $44.6 b
Larry Ellison – $43.6 b
Michael Bllomberg – $40 b
Oxfam’s assertion is that world economies are mismanaged in favor of the
wealthy, which is largely true, however, the report failed to hit the
mark on this serious issue by not acknowledging the greatest problem
with the world’s economy, which is the global central banking model of
privately owned debt-based fiat currencies.
The current banking model is the product of hundreds of years of planned
development, structuring, manipulation, force and trickery which began
in earnest with Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who first established banking
and finance houses in Germany in the 18th century.
The careful cultivation of his wealth with the assistance of his five
sons allowed Rothschild to profit immensely during the French Revolution
by providing financing and war materials to Austria, which in turn
allowed the budding family empire to evolve into a multi-national
organization, henceforth becoming a major financier of industry and war.
“Around that time, Rothschild sent his five sons to live in the
capital cities of various European countries. His goal was to have each
of his children establish a banking business in Frankfurt, Naples,
Vienna, Paris, and London, and throughout the 1800s, they did. With
Mayer Rothschild’s children spread across Europe, the Rothschilds became
the first bank to transcend borders. Lending to governments to finance
war operations for the past several centuries provided ample opportunity
to accumulate bonds and shore up additional wealth in a range of
different industries.” [Source]
Fast forward to 2016, the Rothschild family is a dynasty of unimaginable
wealth which manages to somehow conceal it for the most part, never
quite being publicly credited as the richest and most influential family
in the world. By dividing their capital and holdings up amongst the many
members of the family, including numerous descendants and heirs,
occasionally a single member of the family will appear on a list of the
world’s top individuals, however, the family as a whole represents the
largest fortune ever known.
“Traditionally, the Rothschild fortune is invested in closely held
corporations. Most family members are employed by these corporations
directly or invested in operations that generate family wealth. The
remarkable success of the family has largely been due to a strong
interest in cooperation, being entrepreneurs and the practice of shrewd
business principles.” [Source]
Investopedia estimates the family’s total wealth at over $2 trillion in
assets and holdings, including some of the world’s oldest living
corporations:
“…their holdings span a number of diverse industries, including
financial services, real estate, mining, energy and even charitable
work.There are a few Rothschild-owned financial institutions still
operating in Europe, including N M Rothschild & Sons Ltd in the United
Kingdom, and Edmond de Rothschild Group in Switzerland. The family also
owns more than a dozen wineries in North America, Europe, South America,
South Africa and Australia.” [Source]
At $2 trillion plus, the family’s reported wealth is closing in on five
times as much as the combined wealth of the world’s top 8 individual
billionaires, meaning that the Rothschild family alone controls more
wealth than perhaps three-fourths or more of the world’s total population.
