Sanford I. Weill
Early life
Weill was born in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, New York, to Polish Jewish immigrants, Etta Kalika and Max Weill. He attended P.S. 200 in Bensonhurst. He also attended Peekskill Military Academy in Peekskill, New York, then enrolled at Cornell University where he was active in the Air Force ROTC and the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity. Weill received a Bachelor of Arts degree in government from Cornell in 1955.
Weill’s middle initial of “I” is not an abbreviation for anything. Weill has said:
My mother wanted to name me after somebody whose name started with an “I”, but she couldn’t think of a name she liked. So she gave me the initial with the idea that after I was 21 I could choose whatever middle name I wanted.
Weill married Joan Mosher on June 20, 1955. The couple lives in Greenwich, Connecticut. They have two adult children, Marc Weill (formerly married to news anchor E. D. Hill) and Jessica Weill Bibliowicz, and four grandchildren.
