Jacob Rothschild, Financier and Philanthropist with Ties to Israel, Dies at 87 He broke with his family's banking dynasty to pursue his own path, becoming a leading financier, patron of the arts, and supporter of Israel. Jacob Rothschild, a prominent British financier, patron of the arts, and philanthropist with deep connections to Israel, has passed away at the age of 87. The Rothschild Foundation, a British charity he chaired, announced his death on Monday but did not disclose the cause, date, or location of his passing. A Family Legacy and a Shift in the Financial Landscape: Mr. Rothschild, formally known as the 4th Baron Rothschild, was a descendant of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a coin trader who launched the family's banking empire in the late 18th century. By the 19th century, the House of Rothschild became the world's leading bank, amassing vast wealth through financing European governments and cultivating powerful connections. Joining the family's London branch in 1963, Mr. Rothschild followed the traditional elite path, attending prestigious schools like Eton and Oxford. However, the world of finance was undergoing a significant shift towards deregulation and free-market capitalism. London's traditional banking circles, including the Rothschilds, were facing pressure to adapt to these changes. Breaking Away and Forging His Own Path: Mr. Rothschild favored merging the London branch with another bank, S.G. Warburg, but faced opposition from his family, particularly his cousin Evelyn and his father Victor. This clash highlighted a fundamental tension: Mr. Rothschild's vision for modernization and expansion versus the family's longstanding emphasis on tradition and control. In 1980, he established his own entity, J. Rothschild & Company, and its main asset, Rothschild Investment Trust (RIT). He built a successful career, accumulating a personal fortune exceeding $1 billion at its peak, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Beyond Finance: Arts, Philanthropy, and Controversy: Mr. Rothschild wasn't solely focused on finance. He served as deputy chairman of Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB Television, advised Prince Charles, and held positions with international investment firms. He also actively supported the arts, chairing the National Gallery's trustees and participating in various art-related activities. His involvement in some deals, like the potential 2003 trusteeship agreement with Russian tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, attracted controversy. However, a different facet of his legacy lies in his passionate support for Israel. A Dedicated Advocate for Israel: Mr. Rothschild oversaw his family's longstanding philanthropic activities in Israel through the Yad Hanadiv foundation, quietly sponsoring major projects like the Knesset, Supreme Court, and National Library. He also took over Waddesdon Manor, a Rothschild estate housing an extensive art collection and his personal wine collection, after his aunt's passing. While fiercely critical of certain aspects of the financial system, Mr. Rothschild left his mark as an innovative financier, a prominent patron of the arts, and a dedicated supporter of Israel, adding another chapter to the multifaceted story of the Rothschild family.
