Dr. Shelly Rothschild is, in fact, a descendant of the renowned European banking family. “We are connected to the famous Rothschild family, but very, very distant relatives,” she said. “My family came from Germany, from Frankfurt, and that’s where the famous Rothschild family came from.” Her grandfather was also a doctor.
