==Early life and education==
William Waldorf Astor was born in New York City. He was the only child of financier/philanthropist John Jacob Astor III (1822—1890) and Charlotte Augusta Gibbes (1825—1887). His childhood was spent in Germany and in Italy under the care of private tutors and a governess. He grew up in a cold and distant household.
In his early adult years, Astor returned to the United States and began studies at Columbia Law School. He was called to the United States Bar in 1875. He worked for a short time in law practice and in the management of his father's estate of financial and real estate holdings.
