Necker was born in Geneva, Switzerland. His father was a native of K?strin in Pomerania (now Kostrzyn, Poland), and had, after the publication of some works on international law, been elected as professor of public law at Geneva, of which he became a citizen, Jacques Necker was sent to Paris in 1747 to become a clerk in the bank of a friend of his father. He soon afterwards established, with another Genevese, the famous bank of Thellusson & Necker. Thellusson superintended the bank in London (his grandson was made a peer as Lord Rendlesham), while Necker was managing partner in Paris. Both partners became very rich by loans to the treasury and speculations in grain.
