Born in New York City on February 17, 1981, Paris Hilton is a socialite, singer, actress, and businesswoman who kicked off her career at the age of 19 as a model. The great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels, Paris’ dream was to become a veterinarian when she was young. As an ardent animal lover, she would save up money to “buy” her favorite animals so she could live close to them. Interestingly, Paris was raised with conservative values and had a very strict upbringing.
Kathy Hilton, her mother, used to send her to etiquette classes hoping that she would someday involve Paris in the social scene. But the latter had other plans, and she did not like the idea as the lifestyle did not appeal to her back in the day. She attended Marywood-Palm Valley School and Professional Children’s School before her parents were forced to send her to Provo Canyon School in Utah because of her rebellious nature. However, along with her friends there, Paris later alleged that children in the boarding school were subjected to unthinkable horrors, which included physical and mental abuse.
Paris started dating the businessman and venture capitalist Carter Reum in December 2019, and the duo got engaged on February 13, 2021. Recently, there were rumors that the couple is going to have their first child, but Paris has clarified in her podcast ‘This Is Paris” that she is not pregnant. Although she is born in a privileged family, Paris always had the hunger to make a name for herself, and her career so far speaks for itself. If the socialite’s journey makes you wonder what her net worth must be, we have got you covered.
How Did Paris Hilton Make Her Money?
After making her debut as a socialite in 1996, Paris quickly managed to draw media attention, and with her celebrity aura, started climbing the ladder of success. At the age of 19, she signed with Donald Trump’s modeling agency, T Management, and in just a few years, Paris was one of the biggest names in the 2001 New York Fashion Week. However, the young model was yet to become a global star. Her big break came in 2003 when she appeared in the reality television series ‘The Simple Life,’ which garnered millions of views.
Around the same time, she got roles in movies and television, but her major film role only came in the 2005 slasher movie’ House of Wax.’ The following year her debut album ‘Paris’ dropped and ended up selling over 600,000 copies. The fame and stardom that came with her work in the entertainment industry sparked the interests of critics and fans alike, who wanted to know more about the actress and singer.
Over the years, several documentaries like ‘The American Meme,’ ‘Teenage Paparazzo,’ ‘Paris, Not France,’ and ‘This Is Paris’ have tried to capture her personal and professional life from different perspectives, to offer people an opportunity to learn more about the star. The multi-hyphenate has now appeared in several television shows as a guest, host, and panelist, while in the meantime, she has also added a number of movies and shows to her acting credits. However, the actress has not let her career be defined only by her success in the acting industry.
Seeking inspiration from her grandfather and great grandfather, Paris has now done enough to be called a successful businesswoman as well. Paris’ fragrance collection has made billions of dollars, and in 2011, Variety rightly listed her as a “Billion Dollar Entrepreneur.” Interestingly, she has also written a few books, one of which – ‘Confessions of an Heiress’ – became a New York Times bestseller. Paris’ success in so many fields may obviously bring back the same question: how much has she earned in all these years dominating the business world and the entertainment industry? Well, let’s find out.
