About David René de Rothschild
My Story
David René de Rothschild was born in New York during World War II, a time when the Rothschild family was facing significant upheavals. The Rothschilds, originally from France, had to flee the Nazi occupation, and David’s birth in the United States symbolized a period of transition for the family. His father, Guy de Rothschild, was a towering figure in the financial world, and his mother, Alix Schey de Rothschild, came from a notable family of her own. This environment of wealth, influence, and responsibility would shape David’s future.
Personal Life
David’s early education took place in France, where he attended some of the finest schools, including the prestigious Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris, commonly known as Sciences Po. Sciences Po is renowned for producing leaders in politics, business, and academia, and it provided David with a solid foundation in political science, economics, and international relations. This education was crucial in preparing him for the challenges of leading the family business and navigating the complex world of global finance.
