The Richest Family Of All Time

If I were to ask you what family is the richest family to ever exist, you might make an educated guess and answer with a family such as the Rockefellers, or perhaps the royal family of England, Walmart family, or the Kardashians which wouldn't be the worst of guesses.

But the richest family of all time and still to this present day is the Rothschild. This family is so peculiar and veiled in so much secrecy that the real truth is no one knows how rich they truly are.

The Rothschilds is a family of such significance that they've being tied to a number of deep and dark conspiracy theories that have massive implications that surround this family.

Any conspiracy theory out there that presumes the governments of the world are controlled by a small group of individuals, pretty much all point to the Rothschilds.

These conspiracies warn that this one powerful family is behind the curtain puppeteering massive changes in the culture of humanity. These changes include war, financial crises, racial oppression, and many more.

This family is also believed to be the bedrock of the Illuminati and many believe they control the modern course of humanity.

Money And Control

The most significant hint of the tremendous wealth is the family's connection to the world banks. The idea is that the family can be tied to almost all of the world banks and they're attempting to control every last one of them.

One of the most documented and notable members of the Rothschild family was quoted saying:

"I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Englands money supply, controls the British empire and I control the British money supply"

Banking has been the cornerstone of the Rothschilds family for generations. The wealth amassed from this business was then diversified into various fields of investments which include: financial services, real estate, mining, energy, agriculture, winemaking, and non-profit organizations.

It's generally believed by historians that the family played a massive rule in the Napoleon famed defeat at Waterloo in the early 1800s. During the time of the Napoleon wars, the Rothschilds were already incredibly wealthy.

It's believed that they helped finance the British side of the war against Napoleon to end it. The amount they provided will be the equivalent of $900 million dollars in today's exchange rate. This funding came in the form of precious metal shipments to the armies spread across Europe.

The Rothschild may have known in advance of Napoleon's defeat, this made them buy up government bonds. Years later, they sold it for a 40% profit. The exact amount they made is not clear but if they considered it worth providing $900 million dollars to aid the British side during the war then it's safe to say the profit was a whole lot of money.

Along with helping with the defeat of Napoleon, the Rothschilds have also been tied to the independence of Brazil. Portugal at the time wanted two million sterling before they can agree to grant Brazil their independence. Brazil under the oppression of Portugal, had no means to pay this money so the Rothschilds stepped in and paid the entire sum to the Portuguese government. In turn, Brazil had to pay its debt to the family over time with interest.

Influence On Gold Prices

One of the ways in which the Rothschilds have displayed their influence on the world is by setting the price of gold itself. From 1919 to 2004 the Rothschilds along with other leading traders in the gold industry met every so often to decide the price of the precious metal.

The earliest meetings were hosted and controlled by the Rothschilds themselves as they decided the cost of the metal that serves as the backbone to most economies. The metal that they own so much in excess.

Bail Out In American Resession

Before the great depression, America was running low on gold and experienced one of the first recessions in it's young history. The president at that time in an attempt to save the nation, reached out to JP Morgan and the Rothschilds to bail out the United States government in the form of a loan.

A Family Shrouded In Secrecy

The thing with the Rothschilds is that you are never going to see them in the Forbes magazine. They've done such a fantastic job of not only concealing their wealth by diversifying it in a multitudes of outlets and through generations of heirs and successors. Some speculate that the wealth of this family surpasses one trillion dollars.

Rarely are known members of the family ever seen in public. But when they do so or make an appearance, they are hidden behind the wall of bodyguards and a caravan of black luxury sedans and SUVs.
