Robert Warren Miller (born May 23, 1933) is an American-born British billionaire, entrepreneur, co-founder of DFS (Duty Free Shops), and sailing champion. He is the father of Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, Alexandra Miller, and Pia Getty, dubbed by tabloids and high society as The Miller Sisters.
Miller was born in Quincy, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, in 1933, the son of Ellis Warren Appleton Miller (1898 – c. 1986), a bookkeeper, salesperson, and descendant of several Mayflower passengers; and Sophia "Sophie" June Squarebriggs (1899–1998), a Canadian-born former governess. Miller's ancestry is rooted in the British North American colonial elite, and descends over time, he claims, from Henry I of England, Louis IV the Carolingian, and William, King of the Scots.
Miller attended Cornell University School of Hotel Administration and graduated in 1955, with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Administration. He was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity and the Irving Literary Society.
