Emanuel

The Emanuels are perhaps the ultimate American power siblings. Chicago mayor Rahm, a former chief of staff for President Obama, earned the nickname "Rahmbo" during an earlier gig as an exceptionally aggressive senior adviser in the Clinton White House. Ezekiel is a prominent healthcare policy expert and one of the intellectual fathers of Obamacare. Their brother Ari is the Hollywood superagent of Martin Scorsese and Oprah Winfrey; he inspired the manic, profane agent Ari Gold on HBO's Entourage. Toughness seems to run in the family: Father Benjamin Emanuel fought for Israeli independence as a member of the Irgun, a paramilitary group that operated in British Mandate Palestine. It has been suggested that the Emanuel brothers' offspring will surpass even these accolades. They number four sons and five daughters, including Ezekiel's daughters Rebekah, an accomplished social activist and sculptor who graduated from Yale, and Gabrielle, a Rhodes Scholar and former varsity equestrian who graduated from Dartmouth.
