He was the nephew of Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who was publisher of The New York Times from 1935 to 1961.[1][2] He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1934.

In 1942 Sulzberger married Marina Tatiana Ladas, a Greek who was often his travel companion and ensured that they had an active and elegant social life in Paris. She died in 1976 and he died at their Paris home on September 20, 1993.[5] They had two children: David Alexis Sulzberger and Marina Beatrice Sulzberger.[2] In 1967, Marina Beatrice Sulzberger married Adrian Michael Berry,[6] who later became 4th Viscount Camrose, thereby linking two newspaper dynasties. The Camrose family had once owned The Daily Telegraph and retained an interest in that paper until it was taken over by Conrad Black in 1986.
