Personal life
Siegel was born to a wealthy Jewish family in Chicago, to Sadelle and Sid Siegel, a grocer, who moved the family and grocery business to Miami in 1945. Siegel grew up in Florida where he graduated from Miami Senior High School in 1953, and later studied marketing and management at the University of Miami, before dropping out.
In March 1961, Siegel married Geraldine Florence Sanstrom. The couple had three children: Steven, Valerie, and Richard. Their marriage ended in 1968. In 1970, Siegel married Betty Tucker, with whom he had a daughter, Susan, and moved from Miami to Orlando. They divorced in 1997 and he remained the custodial parent of all the children. He met his current wife Jackie Siegel in 1998. And although she is not Jewish, they were married in a Jewish ceremony. Together, they have eight children, including Jackie's adopted niece, Jonquil. Their other children are: Victoria, David, Daniel, Debbie, Drew, and twins, Jacqueline and Jordan.
Siegel's businesses, family, and personal life were adversely affected by the 2008 financial crisis, as seen in the documentary The Queen of Versailles.
On June 6, 2015, the Siegels' 18-year-old daughter Victoria Siegel was found unresponsive at their home in Windermere, and after being taken to hospital, was pronounced dead. The cause of death was later determined to be a drug overdose, which motivated him to advocate against drug abuse.
