ELI5: In neutral terms, how the Rothchild family became so rich, why they are not very public and why there are so many conspiracy theories surrounding them.

In neutral terms it is far less interesting.  They became rich via banking, and that's really the end of it.  Most if not all the conspiracy theories about them are really about how fractional reserve banking is evil. What better target than old money bankers involved in an evil money making conspiracy theory.

They are out of public view today because most of the wealth has been diminished and divided among decedents.   People like George Soros  in modern times make way better public targets for conspiracy theories.  

Solid research into the Rothschild conspiracy theories will show you just how little conspiracy theorists really know about the topic and how much of a leap they are asking you to take.
