(19 August 1845 – 2 November 1934) was a French member of the Rothschild banking family.
And also donated a large sum of money to the Zionist settlement, which is why there are so many streets named after him in Israel, including the most famous Rothschild Street in Tel Aviv. His donation helped lead to the establishment of the State of Israel.
Regardless of what you think about him or about Zionism he is worth mentioning as he is a key figure in early Zionist history although he never lived in Mandatory Palestine or wanted to move there himself.
