People used the word “gentle” to describe Amschel Mayor James Rothschild.

He was the only son of Victor Rothschild’s second marriage, and heir to the Rothschild dynasty after his older half-brother Jacob. (“Mayor” was his mother’s surname.)

Amschel’s obituary stated: “Where his father was of large and pugnacious build, Amschel Rothschild was tall, thin and strikingly graceful [after his mother]. His bushy head of hair … emphasized large, sad brown eyes. He was precise, almost obsessively tidy, enjoyed making difficult cocktails and revisiting old jokes. He loved his farm, his children, restoring old outhouses, extending his lawns, going to bed early.”

As a teenager he raced motorcycles and later vintage cars and bi-planes. “He started racing classic cars in 1974, owning successively a Lotus 10, an AC Cobra, a famous 1954 250F Maserati, a 1964 Willment Daytona Coupe in which he won two Historic Sports Car Championships…”

He married brewing heiress Anita Guinness in 1981 and had three children, Kate (b.1982); Alice (b.1983) and James (b.1985). He farmed during his twenties and didn’t join the family business until 1987 at age 32. He served an apprenticeship before being appointed executive chairman of Rothschild Asset management in 1993. His obit continues:

“Amschel was regularly billed as the heir presumptive to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild for the chairmanship (Sir Evelyn’s children being still too young to be candidates), though newspaper reports would be sniffy about his prospects; they implied his profile was too low, that with his gentle manner, he was too “nice”, that he lacked the killer instinct.”

On July 8 1996 he was found dead in the bathroom of his suite at the Bristol Hotel in Paris. According to the official story, he had committed suicide by hanging himself with the belt of his bathrobe. Thanks to the now defunct “The Spotlight” we have the truth:

French police have  determined  that  Amschel Rothschild, heir to
the fabulous Rothschild banking fortune, was murdered,  according
to well-placed European sources.

But,  French  Prime Minister Jacques Chirac has ordered police to
close their investigation.  Media  outlets worldwide have ignored
these mysterious developments.  Some have reported the death was
a suicide, other outlets disregarded the death altogether.

As  if  obeying  an invisible choir-master, the world’s competing
news organizations silenced their strident sensationalism this
month to cover up the mysterious death.

In the United States, newspapers controlled by Rupert Murdoch,
the foreign-born  owner  of  the  world’s largest media empire,
either studiously ignored  reports  that  Rothschild had met a
violent end, or relegated it to the back pages as a mere  “heart
attack.”
