Time seems to consolidate wealth.
In Florence. The Rothschields are from Austria.
Do you have a study that would disprove this being true in Austria? Or a study about Austria directly? Or a study that would prove Florence is a exception?
This guy:
Being intentionally stupid for some reason
So are you like trying to win a contest or something?
The Rothschilds wealth did not consolidate.
Its not about consolidation man its how its grown from what it was over the course of time and how its grown enough to keep up with any dilution they may have experienced as time passed
And they don't just let anybody walk around with their name man. They take their shit seriously. Its a pretty serious family there you are acting like is some scattered diluted group like some old royals that fell out of favor and died out or something
Its grown and grown and grown over a loooog time and historically NOT reduced hence them being such a prime example of this type of wealth and hence my commentary about you being intentionally obtuse
Source?
Fuck you im not your god damn dancing internet monkey
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothschild_family ๐
You made claims man, now you give me a source of how it hasn't consolidated. (Even tho that doesn't matter in the slightest when it comes to modern day wealth empires like this but who cares its the about the principle now)
Now dance monkey. Dance.
An article which clearly shows that their influence and cohesion has waned since 18th century.
Influence isn't what was being pointed out you disingenuous coward
They ARE extremely powerful, they are extremely wealthy. That much is concrete
Less influence then a king isn't suddenly make you a peasant.
They have slightly less power and influence, displayed in places you can easily witness it, since the 1800s. But wait! They also have a fuckton more money then they had (which by definition, is power and influence)
Huh still on top of the world then? Thanks for coming in you silly little man. Woman? Nonbinary person? Doesn't matter really
They don't even make the list of the wealthiest families.
Between the new banking regulations, shell companies, trusts and attorney client privilege they can hide their true wealth and thats how the mega rich do that. Away of the eyes of the common persons ability to even know what's up
That is just a list of people that don't do that well at all (or just don't want to be bothered to go through all that extra effort when they really just don't have so much to gain from obscuring it)
But really you seem to know (and CARE) so much about the Rothschild's, so it does beg the question.
Why do you even care enough to defend them right now? Like I know why I dont. They are at the center of, or at least concerningly involved with, every major social upset in my country for the last 200 years. For profit and power fantasy games bullshit mostly based on the information available (but also lots of Epstein type shit. Like that I can do shit because im so powerful and I'm so connected to all these powerful people to keep me safe type fucked up shit but I digress here)
Never heard anyone defend anyones honor like this without a heck of a reason. So let's hear it or fuck off with what appears to be, at this point, disingenuous and half-assed commentary to derail the conversation away from that whole concept here
Cool, please provide said list with sources.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wealthiest_families
So... it says they don't. One guy is a billionaire.
It also says the family was the richest in the mid-19th century, and it isn't anymore.
Doesn't this disprove your point?
