Show BIG FORTUNES IN ENGLAND But They Are 8malll Compared With 8ome of Thoso Enjoyed by Americans. ' That thoro nro no estates In England Eng-land of tho value ot tho largest estates es-tates In tho United States Is again demonstrated by tho provision estimate, esti-mate, fG2,600,000, sworn to in London Lon-don as to tho valuo of tho estato of tho late Daron Rothschild, sayB tho Wall Stroet Journal. This was the fourth largest estato In England, exceedod only by tho estates es-tates of tho Duke of Wostmlnstor, Sir Ernest Cnssel and Lord Iver. Dut tho real estato lncomo of tho duko ot Westminster Is less than tho securities securi-ties lncomo of Sir Ernest Casscl and also less than tho lncomo of Lord Ivor from tho Guinness browery. Whon Barney Uarnato, tho South African gold and diamond king, bad speculative securities valued at about $400,000,000 he committed sutcldo whon his estato shrank to $16,000,001) thoro was only ono comparison thnt could bo mado. Ho was declared to bo richer than tho London Rothschilds. Roths-childs. Whllo Baron Nathan Mayor Rothschild Roths-child was probably the richest RothB-child, RothB-child, tho wealth of tho family, Including In-cluding tho continental branches, probably prob-ably passes tho billion-dollar mark. Nevertheless, It Is surprising to And that tbo estato of tho richest Rothschild is less than tho real estate es-tate Inheritance of Vincent Astor; fa. below the wealth of Andrew Carnegie Car-negie j only a fraction of the wealth of John D. Rockefeller, and less than several estates In America that could be named,"all of which save the As-tot As-tot estate' were accumulated in the lifetime life-time of the present owner. |
