Who Is Paris Hilton?

 

Paris Whitney Hilton was born on February 17, 1981, in New York City, and raised there and in Los Angeles, she is a great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels. Hilton first came to the attention of tabloids in the late 1990s when she established herself in the social scene of New York City and, at the age of 19, began modeling for Donald Trump’s firm Trump Model Management.

Hilton was dubbed “New York’s leading It Girl” in 2001 after David LaChapelle photographed her and her sister Nicky for the September 2000 issue of Vanity Fair.

She rose to popularity thanks to the reality TV show The Simple Life (2003–2007), in which she collaborated with her friend Nicole Richie, and a leaked 2003 sex tape with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, which was later made public as 1 Night in Paris (2004).

In addition to releasing her eponymous debut studio album, Paris (2006), Hilton also published her first book, Confessions of an Heiress (2004), which went on to become a New York Times Best Seller. She also landed her first significant acting role in the horror remake House of Wax (2005) and produced the hit single “Stars Are Blind” from her debut album.

She has been involved in a variety of media projects, including the reality television shows Paris Hilton’s My New BFF (2008-2009), The World According to Paris (2011), Hollywood Love Story (2018), Cooking with Paris (2021), and Paris in Love (2021-present); the documentaries Paris, Not France (2008), The American Meme (2018), and This Is Paris (2020); the books Your Heiress Diary (2005) and Paris: The Memoir (2023); and the podcast I am Paris (2021-present). She has also performed as a disc jockey and created a line of stand-alone singles.

Hilton, a divisive and well-known public personality, is credited with helping to revive the “famous for being famous” phenomenon in the 2000s.

Critics do claim that she is a prime example of the celebutante, someone who became well-known through inherited wealth and an opulent lifestyle rather than through skill or hard work.

In 2004, 2005, and 2006, Forbes featured her in its Star 100, and in 2006 and 2008, it ranked her as the star who had been “overexposed” the most. Hilton has successfully tapped on her media stardom to launch various businesses.

She has created material for broadcast media, introduced numerous product lines, founded a chain of self-branded boutiques around the world, and opened an urban beach club in the Philippines under her company. Over US$2.5 billion in sales have been generated by her perfume brand alone to date.

 

Paris Hilton Education

 

Hilton attended the Buckley School and St. Paul the Apostle School, finishing elementary school in 1995 in Los Angeles. Her freshman year of high school (1995–96) was spent at the Marywood-Palm Valley School in Rancho Mirage, California. In 1996, Hilton and her family left California for the East Coast.

At 15, she attended Professional Children’s School. She skated and played ice hockey while in high school.

In New York City, Hilton had a rebellious youth, regularly skipping classes and sneaking out to parties.

Her parents later sent her, then 16, to a series of boarding schools for emotionally troubled teens, including Provo Canyon School, where she says that she was mentally and physically abused by the staff.

In her documentary, This Is Paris, Hilton and other former students from Provo Canyon School recall the abuses they faced, including solitary confinement, forced medication, restraint, battery, and strangulation.

She attended Provo for 11 months and was released in 1999 when she turned 18. She also attended the Dwight School before dropping out a few months later.

She later earned a GED certification.
