puppet master or not, he led an interesting life of fortunes made and lost several times over and held great influence over some powerful leaders...if anybody has any interesting observations or opinions on the Rothschild's please post, they've fascinated me for a while.
Guy de Rothschild, 98, the dynamic patriarch of one of the world's dominant banking families and whose business savvy helped revive and expand the multibillion-dollar enterprise after World War II, died June 12 in Paris. No cause of death was disclosed.
For generations, the Rothschilds had been economic advisers to European royalty, heads of state and even popes. Guy de Rothschild's ancestors settled in Paris and started a French banking branch in 1817 that financed wars and railroads as well as occasional explorations in mining and archeology
