Baron Edmond de Rothschild

Article Abstract:

Baron Edmond de Rothschild was brought up in relative isolation from the rest of his family, a situation which was exacerbated by the fact that his father had quarreled with other family members. He inherited a large sum of money from his grandfather, and began speculating at an early age. He built up a wide range of business interests, but began increasingly to focus on banking. He was an enthusiastic Zionist from an early age, but became unhappy with Israel's political policies in later life.

Rothschild, Edmond de (French banker)
