Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, president of the Holding Edmond de Rothschild, which oversees the Franco-Swiss financial group Edmond de Rothschild, died on Friday at the age of 57, according to what his family told France Press on Saturday.
“Ariane de Rothschild and her daughters announce with great sadness the death of her husband and father Benjamin de Rothschild following a heart attack at the family home in Priène (Switzerland) on Friday afternoon, January 15, 2021”, indicated the family in a statement.
Benjamin de Rothschild was born on July 30, 1963 and father of four daughters by his wife, Ariane, the international financial expert who was appointed chairman of the group in 2015.
The Franco-Swiss group based in Geneva specializes in private banking and asset management, and has nothing to do with the Franco-British investment bank Rothschild & Co.
The group’s assets are valued at 173 billion Swiss francs (160 billion euros), or 193.3 billion dollars.
The group, founded in 1953, now has 2,600 employees in 32 agencies around the world.
Benjamin de Rothschild had held the chairmanship of the group since 1997, following the death of his father, Edmond de Rothschild. He was the son of Baroness Nadine de Rothschild, 88, a former actress best known for her books on the art of fitness and good behavior.
The family announced that the funeral ceremony will take place in the coming days and that it will be limited to family members.
