Jungle fever ends a Jewish marriage

It seemed like the perfect union – a marriage that brought together two of Britain’s wealthiest Jewish families. He was the multi-millionaire son of the late financier and tycoon Jimmy Goldsmith, she a scion of the Rothschild banking dynasty. But now Ben Goldsmith and his music producer wife Kate, who have three children, are to divorce after she embarked on a passionate love affair with a black American rap singer named Jay Electronica. The Rothschild and Goldsmith families, blood relations who can trace their heritage to the Jewish ghettos of 18th Century Frankfurt, are powerful and influential in the worlds of finance and politics.
