He was born in Paris, the son of French banker Louis Stern (1844-1900) and Claude Lambert.[4][5][6][1][7][8] His father was the son of Antoine Jacob Stern, also well known in banking circles,[1] and a scion of the wealthy Stern family of the AJ Stern & Co. banking house. His mother was the daughter of banker Léon Lambert (fr) and Zoé Lucie Betty de Rothschild (fr), daughter of Gustave de Rothschild from the French branch of the Rothschild family.
