Families That Control Almost Everything (10 pics)
The Rockefellers1
There are legends around the amount of money the Rockefellers have. Nobody knows the exact number but according to different sources, it is estimated to be from $1 to 3 trillion. The family became famous thanks to John Rockefeller, the first ever millionaire. At the end of the 19th century, the family controlled 90% of the entire oil market in the US. Almost all modern oil companies of the US began with the Rockefellers.
Both world wars only made the family’s situation better. They helped both the German side and the allies. Now, aside from the banks and the oil, the Rockefellers do charity and earn cryptocurrency.
Conspiracy theorists believe that the members of the Rockefeller family are the chairmen of a secret world government and they follow the idea of the “Golden billion.”
The Morgans2
Multiple political theories believe that the Morgans determine the political course of the US and control all the banks in the world.
The first person in the Morgan clan John Pierpont Morgan started the first financial empire in the US. He sold weapons during the Civil War and was almost prosecuted for that. And in 1907, he stopped the collapse of the banking system.

The Rothschilds4
The Rothschilds were one of the richest families in the world at the time of Napoleon. The dynasty was started by Mayer Amschel Rothschild. In Germany, he set up a huge banking business and created his own financial empire. When he was dying, Amschel left a will for his heirs where he expressed his views on how the empire should be controlled and the Rothschilds have been following these rules for more than 200 years.
There are have been a lot of different theories and rumors around their family. Some people say that they control all the money in the world and all the financial institutions. Others think that the Rothschilds sponsor and encourage most of the wars.
The amount of money the Rothschilds have is estimated to be around $2 trillion. They make investments, control trading and banking, and they own several vineyards and companies that produce oil and gas.
The Baruchs5
The Baruchs have less money than the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers but they definitely have way more influence. Bernard Baruch, the person who started this clan, was the advisor for 5 US presidents and a close friend of Sir Winston Churchill. He was the person who came up with the term “Cold War,” and he controlled the inventions of the atomic bomb. Some people think he was the person who created the world government.
There is very little information about the heir of the Baruch empire. He had 2 daughters and a son. His son, Bernard Baruch Jr. died in the 90s. There is no information about the grandchildren of Bernard. Some people believe that they are hidden on purpose and that they still control the US government.
