Meet Nicky Hilton’s billionaire heir husband, James Rothschild: the British financier hails from a wealthy family and married his hotelier scion wife at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s home
- Nicky Hilton, the socialite sister of Paris Hilton, married her billionaire heir husband James Rothschild in a star-studded wedding at Kate Middleton and Prince William’s home in 2015
- Although Rothschild is much more low-key, he does occasionally attend events with his wife, and they share 3 adorable children together – but whose family is richer?
The marriage between an heir and heiress of different, ultra-wealthy dynasties is nothing new. In fact, it’s been considered an alliance move for centuries.
In modern times, however, relationships are more likely to form because such people run in the same circles, and are more likely to understand the ups and downs that come with being mega rich.
Then again, when you hail from a family with as much money as the Rothschilds, it takes things to a whole new level.
For hotel heiress and erstwhile fashion designer Nicky Hilton – herself thought to be worth US$100 million according to Celebrity Net Worth – marrying into the Rothschild billions has only compounded her wealth.
Together, they’re very, very rich. But what do you do with so much cash?
While they undoubtedly live in the lap of luxury, with the socialite Hilton still moving high fashion and Hollywood circles, Rothschild takes a much more low-key approach. He doesn’t have social media, rarely attends events, and has remained much more private about his lifestyle than his famous wife.
