NEW YORK (AP) — Benjamin de Rothschild, who oversaw the banking empire started by his father in 1953, has died. He was 57.
The Edmond de Rothschild Group, the company he was chairman of, said that de Rothschild died of a heart attack Friday afternoon at his home in Pregny, Switzerland.
Since 1997, Benjamin de Rothschild headed the banking group, which was named after his father. Today, Edmond de Rothschild Group says it manages assets worth 160 billion euros, or $190 billion.
Forbes magazine estimates de Rothschild’s net worth at $1.5 billion. He is a descendent of the Rothschild family, which has a nearly 300-year history running European banks.
In a press release announcing his death, the Edmond de Rothschild Group said de Rothschild was passionate about finance, sailing, cars and wine. He was also a philanthropist, involved in the Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital, the company said.
He is survived by his wife, Ariane de Rothschild, and their four adult daughters.

Now if only the rest of that nasty dynasty would drop dead.
Sweet music to my ears! First Adelson and now a Rothschild. It’s a good week for the people.
All that money and power and he still couldn’t reach 60 years of age. That says something.
And I have a bridge I want to sell you, criminals don’t die they disappear.
Well if he truly did die and Adelson died, then that would mean one other person is going to croak since it always happens in 3’s.
So who’s next?
Someone on Inauguration Day?
Although 12121 sounds better than 12021 for their strange numerical dates. So maybe we’ll find out Thursday.
The Rothschilds hate the media, you never hear about them unless they want something.
Started by his father in 1953? This idiot news writer is only off by a couple of hundred years. Try 1760 moron.
