5 Amazing Palaces donated by Rothschild family

Описание: Rothschild family is the richest family on earth since the 19th century up to present day. The name Rothschild became synonymous with extravagance and great wealth; and, the family was renowned for its art collecting, for its palaces, as well as for its philanthropy. By the end of the 19th century, the family owned, or had built, at the lowest estimates, over 41 palaces, of a scale and luxury perhaps unparalleled even by the richest royal families or
world notorious dictators.
