A taste of a bygone era’s opulence will soon be up for sale: For the first time, items from the Rothschild family’s private collection will be up for auction in North America.

This October, Christie’s in New York will sell hundreds of curated pieces from the decadent banking dynasty’s trove in a series of events.

“interlocking directorates”

Are there any other kind?

;-)

[cgbg]

There are hundreds maybe thousands of direct descendants of the Rothschilds of the 1700s.

Some sell stuff, some don’t.

Some carry on the family empire, others are weird outcasts.

Good, they can help pay off the US debt.

[C210N]

Arrange a “fire sale”, like what happened in Maui.

(and elsewhere, over the years, like with the Summer of Love fires)

It’s C210, who thinks Trump is personally controlling a Pence bot and is secretly running the entire US government. It’s a Pence bot, because Pence was killed, according to C210.

The Rothschilds must be on hard times if they have to sell their family heirlooms.

“The Rothschilds do not control Vanguard.”

That’s what the Germans would have you think!

[Alter Kaker]

Lot of fanfare for a smallish sum.

If $30 million is a smallish sum, would you mind giving me a smallish sum?

(I'll also note than anybody who thinks that the Rothschilds have anything within several orders of magnitude of $500 trillion is a raving lunatic.)

Thank you! :)

Actually yes. family auctioned off oils it no longer liked.

Most of this sale is pretty hideous.

I know estates that are auctioning off items that family members dislike.

Trump and the Alliance have cut off their income streams. They will soon be selling metal at the recycle center. 😆

[Neverlift]

Regardless of their actual worth, they tell you be be upset with the 1%.

In the art world where a single painting can sell for over $400 million, a "collection" worth a total of $30 million isn't really a big deal.

I was not comparing it to a normal person's budget.

[Alter Kaker]

$400 million was for a fake painting, because the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is a moron.

Even poor people have yardsales.

Sometimes folks just have stuff they don’t want anymore. If it’s very valuable stuff, I doubt they’d donate it to Goodwill.

A lot of Rothschilds have traditionally done very valuable things with their money, and we have no idea where the proceeds of this auction will go.
