Toby Young Biography

Toby Young is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on October 17, 1963 in Buckinghamshire, England, United Kingdom. In Buckinghamshire, Young was brought up in Highgate, North London, as well as in South Devon. His mother was Sasha (1931-1993) was the mother of Raisley Stewart Moorsom, was a lineage ancestor of Admiral Sir Robert Moorsom, who fought in Trafalgar in the Battle of Trafalgar, through his son Vice Admiral Constantine Richard Moorsom, chairman of the London and North-Western Railway, was a BBC Radio producer, artist and writer. His dad was Michael Young (later Baron Young of Dartington) and who was a Labour Life peer, and a a pioneering sociologist who coined the term “meritocracy”. Although he has the right to use the name The Hon. Toby Young, he does not.

Young relocated from the city of his birth to New York City shortly afterwards to work for Vanity Fair accepting an invitation from its editor Graydon Carter. While he wrote for the magazine, he contributed 3000 words, and received a salary of $85,000. After being fired in 1998 by Vanity Fair in 1998, the writer remained at New York for two more years as a columnist with the New York Press, before returning to the UK in 2000. A memoir of his time in the United Kingdom called How to lose Friends and Become Afraid of People was released in 2001.

Following Jack Davenport, Young performed in the West End one-man stage adaptation of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People in 2004 in which, according to The Guardian’ s Lyn Gardner, he managed to “make a spectacle of himself”. In 2005, he co-wrote (with fellow Spectator journalist Lloyd Evans) a sex farce about the David Blunkett/Kimberley Quinn intrigue and the “Sextator” affairs of Boris Johnson and Rod Liddle called Who’s the Daddy? It was named as the Best New Comedy at the 2006 Theatregoers’ Choice Awards.

Four years later the magazine was close to financial collapse and Young closed it down, angering his principal financial backer Peter York, as well as Burchill and staff writer Charlotte Raven. Burchill had tried to replace Young as editor with Raven. “Ultimately the reason we fell out is because our relationship began as a kind of mentor-apprentice, and that was a kind of relationship which Julie was comfortable with. It was only when I succeeded in getting out from under her shadow that our relationship deteriorated”, Young said in 2005.

in 1997 Young began dating Caroline Bondy while within New York. After their split, Young gave up drinking and said that the “thought the only way I could persuade her to get back with me would be if I sobered up”. He relapsed to drinking alcohol two years after the day of their wedding, July 2001. Young as well as Bondy became engaged at the end of 2000, and were married one year later. There are four of them.
