The Rothschild family, known for their wealth and influence, were involved in a bitter dispute over the use of their family name. In September 2015, Ariane de Rothschild expressed her frustration with Jeffrey Epstein to her American friend, Jacob Rothschild. The conflict began when Ariane’s brother, David de Rothschild, renamed his investment bank firm in France as “Rothschild & Co” and started using the prestigious family name without permission. This move sparked a dispute between Ariane, who was then leading the Edmond de Rothschild Group in Switzerland, and her brother David. The siblings were at odds over the use of their family name, with David’s actions potentially damaging Ariane’s reputation and standing with investors.
