Life so far
Ashley is the youngest of three siblings, and during her childhood her family received a lot of media attention, mainly due to her father and the success of his radio show. As a result, her parents had to take extra measures to ensure that the children lived without much attention and were free to do as they pleased.
She lived a lavish lifestyle during her childhood, but things changed drastically when her parents divorced.
Their relationship broke down because her father was a workaholic and he was so worried about losing everything that he didn’t notice his relationship falling apart. The divorce proceedings took a long time and received a lot of media attention, mainly because it involved a battle for custody of the children. Her father agreed that the children should stay with their mother, but left the children the option of staying with him if they ever wanted to. She has remained close to her parents ever since, but after the divorce, she quietly disappeared from the radar and went on with life.
Father – Howard Stern
Howard Stern grew up in Queens, New York City, and came from a Jewish family from Poland.
He attended Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School and developed a love for entertainment at a young age, performing for his friends in various ways. He eventually identified his passion for radio, idolizing the careers of radio talk personalities. He recorded mock radio programs in his house, but was initially not confident in his skills, as he was actually an introvert.
After graduating from high school, he enrolled at Boston University, where he earned a communications degree. During his time there, he got his first radio station experience at the campus station WTBU where he learned more about playing songs, interviewing and reading the news.
He hosted a weekly show while continuing his studies, including learning about the more technical aspects of radio. In 1975 he completed his radiotelephony license and then landed his first job in Newton, Massachusetts, doing mostly production work. He eventually graduated magna cum laude, majoring in broadcasting and film.
Howard Stern’s success

The show was successful during its first year and soon gained national syndication and became a hit in many parts of the country. However, the show was also controversial, for which he was often fined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Eventually, the show began to attract more high-profile guests, and the projects he envisioned as part of his larger radio franchise were all successful. During the height of his career, Stern was doing book deals, and his book “Private Parts” was a commercial success and became a New York Times bestseller. This led him to create several pay-per-view specials and movies. based on both his life and his writing.
He wrote a second book “Miss America” just in time for the film adaptation of “Private Parts” which topped the box office while the soundtrack also charted on the Billboard 200.

After his show’s initial run in 2000, he signed with Sirius Satellite Radio in a five-year, $600 million deal, one of the largest deals in radio history. Sirius gave him complete creative control over his work, and the wealth also enabled him to pursue other business endeavors.
