The Women of Rothschild: The Untold Story of the World’s Most Famous Dynasty by Natalie Livingstone
In May of last year, a woman appeared at Mar-a-Lago purporting to be Anna de Rothschild, a daughter of the dynasty that began in 1770 when Mayer Amschel Rothschild married (up) in the Judengasse of Frankfurt. (Gutle Schnapper, his better-off bride, brought him capital for his business.)
That the luster of the dynasty is undiminished two-and-a-half centuries later was evident when “Anna” drove her Mercedes-Benz AMG G 63 through the resort gates and was much fawned over by dazzled guests. Only later did it transpire that the self-styled heiress was in reality Inna Yashchyshyn, a 33-year-old Ukrainian-born charlatan.
