Talk about coddled. Anderson Cooper —

“Early life and education Anderson Hays Vanderbilt Cooper was born on June 3, 1967, the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, and is a great-great-great-grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt of the prominent Vanderbilt shipping and railroad fortune...At the age of 3 Cooper was a guest on The Tonight Show on September 17, 1970, appearing with his mother. From age 10 to 13 Cooper modeled with Ford Models for Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Macy’s.

...During the second semester of his senior year at The Dalton School at age 17, Cooper went to southern Africa in a “13-ton British Army truck” during which time he contracted malaria and required hospitalization in Kenya. Describing the experience, Cooper wrote “Africa was a place to forget and be forgotten in.” Cooper ... continued his education at Yale University, where he resided in Trumbull College, and claimed membership in the Manuscript Society. He studied both Political Science and International Relations and graduated in 1989.

Cooper’s older brother, Carter Vanderbilt Cooper, committed suicide on July 22, 1988, at age 23, by jumping from the 14th-floor terrace of Vanderbilt’s New York City penthouse apartment....Anderson cites Carter’s suicide for sparking his interest in journalism. “Loss is a theme that I think a lot about, and it’s something in my work that I dwell on...Would I be able to survive and get on in the world on my own?”

During college, he spent two summers as an intern at the Central Intelligence Agency. Although he technically has no formal journalistic education, he opted to pursue a career in journalism ... he took a break from reporting and lived in Vietnam for a year, during which time he studied the Vietnamese language at the University of Hanoi.
