A descendant of the French Rothschild banking family, Baron Benjamin de Rothschild presides over the Edmond de Rothschild (EdR) finance empire.
The group manages over $175 billion in assets, with interests from banks in France and Switzerland to restaurants and hotels.
In August 2019, de Rothschild's family consolidated its French and Swiss banking operations and bought out the group's public shareholders.
De Rothschild's wife, Ariane, is chairwoman of Edmond de Rothschild Suisse, while Benjamin remains the majority owner and chairman.
Through Edmond de Rothschild and its affiliates, the baron owns or co-owns vineyards in Argentina, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain and France.
