On July 10, 2015, the “wedding of the century” took place. And this is not an exaggeration. After all, two huge financial empires were related - Rothschild and Hilton. They say money leads to money. And that's right. The Rothschild banking empire has become "engaged" to one of the heirs of the world's largest hotelier. Was there love? And does it have a place among considerations of a purely financial nature? Let's explore this question. Let's see what family James Rothschild Jr. came from, whose age at the time of the wedding was thirty years old. And who brings Paris a certain Nikki Hilton? There are many secrets in the history of both families. Anti-Semites remember the Rothschilds when they talk about the Zion conspiracy. And the American of German-Norwegian origin, Conrad Hilton, knowingly earned himself the fame of a “man-hotel”. Let's see what was the wedding of James Rothschild, where it took place, who was invited.
Rothschilds
The expression "To be rich like Croesus" is gradually leaving the modern lexicon. Since a certain Mayer Amschel appeared on the financial market, this phrase has been replaced by "To be richer than Rothschild." The founder of modern billionaires was born in 1744 in the family of a money changer and a jeweler in Frankfurt am Main. Mayer Amschel built a real banking empire. Since his father had a golden eagle on a red background as a sign over his workshop, the jewelry store in the city soon began to be called Roth schield - "Red Shield". This nickname was taken as a surname by the ancestor of the dynasty. He had five sons: Amschel, Solomon, Nathan, Kalman, and also James Rothschild. Their father sent them to manage the affairs of the family in Paris, London, Vienna and Naples. The eldest son, Amschel, inherited the business in Frankfurt am Main. The brothers settled in different cities. To date, only two branches of the family remain - the French, leading from James, and the British (from Nathan). The Austrian branch died out in the male line, but heirs still exist, albeit under different surnames.
Hiltons
The founder of this dynasty, Conrad was born in 1887 in New Mexico. He was the eighth child in a grocer's family. Konrad studied, became a mining engineer, but he had little joy from work. Once he happened to spend the night at the Mobley Hotel in Texas. He was struck by the crowd of people eager to get a free number. So he decided to become a hotelier. He bought"Mobley", increased the number of beds there. In 1925 he built his first hotel from scratch. So gradually he became the founder of a dynasty of hoteliers. After Conrad's death in 1979, his son Barron took over the family business. It is his granddaughter, Paris, who stirs the minds of gossip reporters with her antics. But the socialite is not the only heiress of billions. Paris has a sister, Niki. And for a long time she did not come under the attention of journalists of the yellow press. Until the engagement. Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild announced it on July 10, 2014. Exactly one year later, the couple got married.
Introduction of offspring of two genera
Now let's get back to the question, is there a place for love when two such significant capitals join together? The Rothschilds in the nineteenth century always built their marriages on the calculation. And each marriage added one or even two zeros to the total amount of their fortune. For example, the youngest son of the founder of the family, James Mayer Rothschild, married his niece Betty so that the dowry would not leave the family. But now it's the twenty-first century, and the moneybags of today can let their children marry and marry the one their heart tells them to. James and Nicky were just in the same environment. They met in 2011 at the wedding ceremony of James Stunt and model Petra Ecclestone.
Who is Rothschild James Jr
He is now thirty-one, he is a banker. Nothing more is known about the life of this handsome man. Himmany namesake relatives. For example, James Rothschild, from the British branch of the family, came under fire for meeting the Russian oligarch Deripaska on a yacht off the coast of Corfu. But the hero of our article, the fiance of the beautiful Nika, has nothing to do with him. However, something is known about the we alth of this young banker of impeccable conduct. He put up for sale his personal mansion in Suffolk (UK). This estate alone is valued at thirty-eight million dollars. About the father of the groom, Amschel Rothschild, it is known that in 1996 he committed suicide. This made a very negative impression on James.
Who is Nicky Hilton
The daughter of Rick and Kathy, the younger sister of the legendary and scandalous Paris, has also not yet been hooked by the press. She is a fashion designer, designing jewelry, lingerie, clothes and accessories. Since her grandfather Barron Hilton stunned the heirs with the announcement that he will bequeath most of his fortune to a charitable foundation (which experts estimate at two and a half billion dollars), Nicky and Paris's father decided to open his own business and started selling real estate. His prudent youngest daughter also began to make his fortune. Now her personal capital, without the inheritance that sooner or later will go to her, is estimated at twenty million. Nicky was already married. Her marriage to businessman Todd Meister (2004) lasted three months. She also had relationships with Markus Schenkenberg, a model, and David Katzenberg-the youngest, the son of a famous film producer. When she was led down the aisle for the second time by James Rothschild, the bride's age was 31.
Wedding of the century
After meeting in Italy, three years have passed, and during this period the relationship has matured. James Rothschild invited Nicky to Lake Como (Lombardy). And there, while riding a yacht, he got down on one knee and asked for a hand and a heart. "It was so romantic," Nicki later said. For the wedding in London, they rented the gallery of the royal Kensington Palace. At the request of the bride, she was decorated with cream-colored roses. Nicki appeared in a dress with a lace bodice and a long train from "Valentino" worth eighty thousand dollars. On her finger sparkled a diamond ring - a gift from the groom - for $ 1.6 million. The shoes were especially striking. They were created to order by Christian Louboutin. The shoes were imprinted with "Mrs. Rothschild" and the date of the wedding. The bride was preparing for the wedding at Claridge's Hotel. From there, she left with her parents and Paris, as well as with Alice Rothschild, her fiancé's sister. The wedding took place at the residence of the Dukes of Cambridge.
Star guests
Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild invited the most famous people to their wedding. These were people of high society from the USA and Great Britain. Among the guests were: James Stant and Petra Ecclestone, Henry St. George and Florence Bradenell-Bruce, as well as Chelsea Clinton, daughter of the former US President, and Hillary. The sale of the mansion in the UK, James Rothschild showed his intention to move to his wife in the States. And the latest news:recently it became known that Nicky Rothschild is pregnant.
