The Rothschilds of Frankfurt are among the wealthiest folks to have ever existed. Nathan Mayer and James Mayer de Rothschild, at one point, they controlled the world.
The Rothschilds were a family of bankers that originated from Frankfurt, Germany. Their power and influence went on to span the globe, and relatively quickly, they became one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in history.
Rothschild expanded his business and started issuing loans through borrowed capital from the Landgrave. But as Napoleon invaded Hesse due to international conflicts in Prussia, Landgrave was forced into exile while Rothschild acted as his secret banker, moving funds from Germany to London and profiting off of smuggled goods.
Nathan Mayer Rothschild became the richest member of the Rothschild family due to his international reputation and significance. At the age of 21, Nathan moved to England and established himself in the world of textiles trading and finance.
