James may not personally be worth so much, but the Rothschild family’s net worth is valued at $700 trillion, so, he does not really have to worry about expanding the value of his personal riches.

It is very well known that Jame’s father was Amschel Mayor James Rothschild, executive chairman of Rothschild Asset Management of the Rothschild banking family of England. Sometime in July 1996, Amschel was found hanging in a Paris hotel room. This happened after a meeting where plans were made for a merger of asset management companies. It is a widely held view that he hanged himself because he was depressed by the death of his mother, Teresa Georgina Mayor who died six weeks earlier.

As at the time of Amschel’s death, it was estimated that his personal fortune wasn’t lesser than 30 million pounds.
