Yes, that story does clear up a few misconceptions about the Rothchilds. This one is only worth about 3 billion, and they aren't into everything as accused by many. Yeah they're rich, but so are a lot of others. And this family seems far more isolated and not part of some global conspiracy. They don't mingle with politicians, don't invest in gold, don't party with the elite. They just have their own biz empire they deal with. Banks, wineries, real estate (lotsa palaces apparently). And they practice conservative investing, and had nothing to do with the economic crisis. In fact, their companies made like 5% while the rest of the world lost 8%, because they didn't place bets on derivatives. Their banks only manage assets very conservatively. He says their banks manage like $150 billion for others.
