Hircsák[9] (which some sources spell "Hircksac"),[10] emigrated from Hungary during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. They came to Britain, initially claiming asylum, and anglicised their name to Hilton. Hilton's father, István, had been goaltender for the Hungarian national ice hockey team and was considered one of the best ice hockey players in Europe during the 1930s.[11][9][12] After arriving in Britain, his parents initially worked in catering at Heathrow Airport. They divorced when Steve was five years old[9] resulting in what he has described as a struggle and great financial hardship; his mother worked in a shoe store but was dependent primarily on state benefits, and the two lived in a cold, damp basement apartment.[13]
He was given a bursary to Christ's Hospital School in Horsham in Sussex, before studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at New College at Oxford University.
Career
After graduating, Hilton worked for Conservative Central Office, where he came to know David Cameron and Rachel Whetstone, who became his wife and, later, Senior Vice-President of Policy and Communications for Uber.[14
