She is a great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton (founder of
Hilton Hotels). Born in New York City and raised in both California and New
York, Hilton began a career as a model before going on to appear in cameos in
films such as Zoolander (2001).
Hilton became famous for her controversial participation in
a sex tape, which was released in November 2003, shortly before the premiere of
the television reality series The Simple Life alongside fellow socialite and
childhood best friend Nicole Richie. The show was a massive hit for the FOX
network, premiering with 13 million viewers and brought Hilton and co-star
Richie to an international recognition. She then released her 2004
tongue-in-cheek autobiography called Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic
Peek Behind the Pose. she landed a supporting role in the 2005 horror film
House of Wax, and later recorded the 2006 music album Paris.
She has appeared in various lists compiled by magazines such
as Maxim, FHM as well as Stuff. She is also regularly placed on lists composed
by Forbes magazine and was named one of the "100 Hottest Women of
All-Time" by Men's Health. Critics also suggest that Hilton epitomizes the
title of famous for being famous; she is an example of the modern phenomenon of
the "celebutante", the celebrity who rises to fame not because of
their talent or work but because of their inherited wealth and controversial
lifestyle. She has parlayed her media fame into a fashion line and various
perfumes with her celebrity endorsement — her fragrances have reportedly earned
$1.4 billion (from which she earns $10 million a year). As of 2012, her net
worth is estimated to be $100 million.
