That performance has made the stock of the publicly owned corporation one of the highest-flying issues on the Paris Bourse. Over the past five months, its price has risen from $88 to $120 per share. Investors include Edmond de Rothschild, who owns a 35% interest, and France's Louis Dreyfus Bank, which holds 8%. Last August, American Express Co. paid $2.7 million for a 15% interest in the club and took over as its North American booking agent. An American Express spokesman says that the company expects to increase its stake in Mediterranee in order to get more...
...legendary Rothschilds have quite a knack for multiplying their money by backing the right people in the right places. Rothschild gold bought supplies for the Duke of Wellington before Waterloo, financed Disraeli's purchase of the Suez Canal and bankrolled 19th century railroaders as well as modern industrial pioneers in Newfoundland.

Edmund de Rothschild, 52, remains the senior partner, but the man who is taking an increasingly vocal role is his first cousin, Evelyn de Rothschild, 37. Unlike Edmund, who is active in a largely ceremonial way, Evelyn is pursuing a more aggressive family stewardship...
Evelyn argued that the British House of Rothschild should not necessarily become a home, stipulating that "no Rothschild can come into the bank who does not reach the required standards." The firm has both strengthened its ties with the French relatives and become more open to Christians and other outsiders. Last January, Evelyn took a partnership in the Paris bank and welcomed its head, Baron Guy de Rothschild (TIME cover, Dec. 20, 1963), to a reciprocal partnership at N. M. Rothschild.
