Nathaniel Philip Victor James Rothschild, 5th Baron Rothschild is the only son and heir of Jacob Rothschild, and possible head of the Rothschild family.

He is Chairman of JNR Limited, an investment advisory business primarily focused on emerging markets in the metals, mining and resources sector. He was co-chairman of Asia Resource Minerals plc, a natural resources group, that he helped create and that is listed on the London Stock Exchange.[1]

Education

Nat Rothschild was educated in London at St Paul's Juniors (formerly Colet Court) in the same year as former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. He went on to Eton College and Wadham College, Oxford, where he read history, gaining a 2:1. Rothschild was a member of the Bullingdon Club as an undergraduate, at the same time as George Osborne.[2] He completed an MSc degree in Addiction Studies at the Institute of Psychiatry.[3]

Money and politics

In October 2008, he was the subject of much press speculation when it was revealed that Labour Party politician Peter Mandelson and the Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska had met when staying on a yacht moored near Corfu, in order to attend a party held by Rothschild.[4] After speculation that this might constitute a conflict of interest for Mandelson, Rothschild wrote a letter to The Times alleging that another guest was Conservative Party Shadow Chancellor George Osborne, who, Rothschild claimed, illicitly tried to solicit a donation from the Russian for his party.[5]

Rothschild has been linked to the son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi.[6]

In February 2012 he lost his libel case with the Daily Mail who had accused him of being a "puppet master" in reporting about his foreign trips with Peter Mandelson.[7]

Personal

In 1994, he married socialite and model Annabelle Neilson; they divorced in 1997.[8] In August 2016, Rothschild married Loretta Basey, a former page 3 The Sun topless model, in Switzerland.[9][10]
