Fast forward to the 18th and 19th centuries, and we encounter the Rothschild family. Originating from Frankfurt's Jewish ghetto, they built an international banking empire that spanned Europe. Their wealth was built on a network of family members who established banking operations in major European cities. They financed kings and governments, underwriting wars and facilitating international trade. The Rothschilds exemplify how strategic alliances and astute financial management can build a fortune that spans continents.
