Yes, the most famous one of all. The Rothschilds. Somesay they control the world through banking and such. Rothschild is a habitational name from a house distinguished with a red sign (Middle High German rot = "red" + schild = "sign", "shield"), the earliest recorded example dating from the 13th century.
The most notable family with this surname is the Mayer Amschel Rothschild family. This famous banking (N M Rothschild & Sons in London, de Rothschild Frères in Paris, S M von Rothschild in Vienna) and wine (Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Lafite-Rothschild) family took its name from a house so marked in the Jewish quarter of Frankfurt-am-Main, but the name has also been adopted by many Ashkenazi Jews.

The Medici:
Italian noble family that produced three popes (Leo X, Clement VII, and Leo XI) and two queens of France (Catherine de Médicis and Marie de Médicis). Cosimo “the Elder” (1389-1464) was the first of the family to rule Florence. Lorenzo “the Magnificent” (1449-1492) was an outstanding patron of learning and the arts, whose clients included Michelangelo and Botticelli.
