When Five Brothers Became the World's Banker
In 1836, when Nathan Rothschild died in Frankfurt, his wealth represented 0.62 percent of Britain's entire GDP - equivalent to roughly $3.7 billion today. That's wealthier, proportionally, than Bill Gates at his peak. But here's what makes this truly staggering: Nathan had started just forty years earlier as a textile merchant in Manchester with modest capital from his father. How does a Jewish family confined to Frankfurt's cramped ghetto - where houses stood just fourteen feet wide - transform into what contemporaries called "the sixth great power" of Europe within a single generation? The answer lies not in a single brilliant mind, but in an unprecedented family strategy that created the world's first multinational corporation. Five brothers, stationed in five cities, moved money across war-torn Europe faster than armies could march, turning chaos into opportunity and transforming how nations themselves would borrow, spend, and survive.
