Henry Franklin Winkler was born on October 30, 1945, in the Manhattan borough of New York City. The “H” in his initial name stands for his Uncle Helmut, and the “D” in his middle name stands for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is the cousin of actor Richard Belzer and has an older sister named Beatrice.
Although his family did not keep kosher, Winkler was raised in the Conservative Judaism traditions. Winkler and his family spent their summers as children at Lake Mahopac, New York, and as a teenager, he worked as a water skiing instructor at Blue Mountain camps.
Winkler had a strained connection with his father as a child and “wished for me to join the family business of purchasing and selling wood. But Hollywood was the only timber I was interested in.” When his father became upset with Winkler’s acting focus, he would question why he had brought the business from Germany to the United States. Winkler’s response would be: “Was there a bigger reason than being pursued by the Nazis, Dad?”
Henry Franklin Winkler has a net worth of $40 million USD.
His income per year is unknown
