Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton – From Shocking Sex Tapes to Jail Time – What Next?
Paris Whitney Hilton was born February 17, 1981, to Richard Hilton and Kathy Richards. The oldest of four children, she is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune as well as to her father’s real estate fortune.
Born in New York City, Hilton moved between several homes during her childhood, including Manhattan, Beverly Hills and the Hamptons. She attended high school in both California and New York, but dropped out and eventually earned her GED.
Hilton began modeling as a child, appearing in numerous ad campaigns, including Iceberg Vodka, GUESS, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Dior and Marciano. By the age of 19, she had developed a reputation as a socialite, and was often referred to as “New York’s leading It Girl.”
In 2003, just a week before her reality show The Simple Life premiered, a three-year-old homemade sex video of Hilton with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon surfaced. Hilton sued Salomon over the release of the tape, but eventually settled out of court. Meanwhile, The Simple Life premiered on December 2, 2003, and became a mid-season hit for Fox, fueled by the publicity of the sex tape. The show featured Hilton and Nicole Richie (Lionel Richie’s adopted daughter) working at a variety of blue collar jobs and performing chores associated with farm life. Two more seasons followed, but the network decided to cancel prior to the 4th season due to a falling out between Hilton and Richie. E! Entertainment Television picked up the fourth season, with a fifth season beginning in May 2007.

It has been Heiress Records’ only release to date. In 2004, Hilton released an autobiographical book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose. Despite media criticism, it became a New York Times bestseller. Her other business endeavors include designing purses, jewelry and perfume.
