Tony Hsieh was born in Illinois to parents who had emigrated from Taiwan to the United States in order to attend graduate school at the University of Illinois. At age five, his father got a job in California so Tony grew up in Lucas Valley, Marlin County, California – which is north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge. Lucas Valley takes its name from movie producer George Lucas’s business which is located there.
Tony’s parents insisted that he learn how to play the piano and the violin but Tony didn’t see much point in that at all. Therefore, he used to go to his room and play a tape recording of him practicing. While his parents listened reassuringly to the practice session they assumed was in full swing, Tony spent his time reading books or magazines.
"As you can imagine, my piano and violin teachers could not understand why I showed no improvement every time they saw me during weekly lessons.
