Joseph Lyle Menendez was born in New York City on January 10, 1968, and grew up outside of Princeton, New Jersey.

The older son of Jose Menedez, a Cuban immigrant and successful entertainment executive, and Mary "Kitty" Menedez, Lyle and his younger brother, Erik, grew up amid wealth and privilege. However, their father exerted immense pressure on them to succeed in school and athletics.

After the family moved to Southern California in 1986, the brothers grew more rebellious under the tight grip of their father. Lyle returned to New Jersey the following year by enrolling at Princeton University but was suspended for a year for plagiarism.
