But, neighbors reported that they found unopened mail and a magazine outside the home addressed to a “WM DE ROTHSCHILD,” making everyone presume he could be Will Rothschild.
Furthermore, the officials haven’t confirmed how the fire started but stated that it had spread to the property’s first floor.
As the circumstances of the incident are rather mysterious, netizens speculate on many theories, including his potential connection with P. Diddy.
Despite a net worth of billions, Will Rothschild led a very low-key lifestyle!
Unlike most Rothschild family members who have been in the public landscape for their financial endeavors or philanthropic acts, it appears Will Rothschild led a very private life away from the spotlight.
The surname Rothschild is famous because it is associated with a wealthy, noble banking family originally from Frankfurt.
Moreover, like the rest of the family members, Will Rothschild had a net worth in the billions, which included extravagant properties and vintage luxury car collections.
