Baron Guy Édouard Alphonse Paul de Rothschild 
      French banker

born May 21, 1908 , Paris, France

died June 12, 2007, Paris
as the scion of the French branch of the Rothschild international banking dynasty, restored his family's fortunes after their holdings were confiscated during the World War II Nazi occupation of France. Rothschild joined the investment bank Rothschild Frères in 1931 and also was involved in the holding company Compagnie du Chemin de Fer du Nord. When France fell to Germany in 1940, the Rothschilds were stripped of French citizenship, and their assets were seized under anti-Jewish laws. Rothschild joined the Free French forces based in London, but he returned to Paris in 1944, reviving the bank and diversifying into industries such as mining, shipping, and oil. In 1968 he restructured the bank as the Banque de Rothschild, which was later nationalized (1981–84) by the Socialist-led government. Rothschild was also a successful owner-breeder of Thoroughbred racehorses, notably Exbury, winner of the 1963 Prix l'Arc de Triomphe, and he worked closely with his cousins Baron Alain and Baron Elie de Rothschild (Rothschild, Baron Elie Robert de ) (q.v.), who was responsible for the postwar restoration of the family's wine estate Château Lafite Rothschild.
