Robin Williams grew up as an only child in a relatively wealthy family. Robin Williams was born in Chicago, Illinois, but his family moved not long after his birth to the exclusive Bloomfield Hills district in the Detroit, Michigan area, where he spent his childhood years growing up in a 30-room mansion situated on a private 20 acre estate.

Robin Williams' father was a senior executive for an automobile manufacturing company, and spent considerable time away from the home at work and on business trips. But Robin Williams' father retired and moved the family to California when Williams was in high school. (Source: Andy Dougan, Robin Williams, Thunder's Mouth Press: New York, 1998, pages 7-15.)

They moved to Tiburon, a lovely town on the Bay just north of San Francisco. Williams contends that "Tiburon" is Spanish for "condominium".
