Five brothers of the Austrian branch of the family were given hereditary baronies of the Habsburg Empire by Emperor Francis II in 1816. The British branch of the family was elevated into the nobility by Queen Victoria . It is claimed in the book The Rothschilds: Portrait of a Dynasty by Frederic Morton that during the 19th century, the family possessed by far the largest private fortune in the world, and by far the largest fortune in modern history.

The Rothschild family is a highly wealthy family descending from Mayer Amschel Rothschild , a court Jew to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel , in the Free City of Frankfurt , who established his banking business in the 1760s. Unlike most previous court Jews, Rothschild managed to bequeath his wealth, and established an international banking family through his five sons, who established themselves in Vienna, London, Paris and Naples , as well as Frankfurt. During the 19th century, when it was at its height, the Rothschild family is believed by some to have possessed the largest private fortune in the world, as well as the largest private fortune in modern world history. The family's wealth is believed to have subsequently declined, as it was divided amongst hundreds of descendants. Today, Rothschild businesses are far less well known than they were throughout the 19th century, although they encompass a diverse range of fields, including financial services, real estate, mining, energy, mixed farming, wine and charities.
