The death of British banking tycoon Jacob Rothschild could ignite a "Heirs"-style battle between his descendants over his vast real estate and investment empire. Lord Rothschild, who died last Monday at the age of 87, founded one of Britain's largest investment funds in 1961.
The relationship between the young Rothschild and his father was not good: Jacob Rothschild was known to dislike the lifestyle of his heir apparent, who lived a playboy life of parties and entertainment, and even Married model Annabel Nilsson in 1994 in Las Vegas.
