Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton, born Paris Whitney Hilton on February 17, 1981, in New York City, is an American media personality, businesswoman, socialite, and heiress to the Hilton Hotels fortune.

The great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of the hotel chain, she grew up in luxury across family properties in New York, Los Angeles, London, and the Bahamas, attending elite schools like Dwight School and Convent of the Sacred Heart before multiple expulsions led her parents to send her to Provo Canyon School in Utah amid reports of rebellious behavior.

She began modeling at age 12 for designers like Tommy Hilfiger and appeared in magazines such as Vanity Fair, launching her public image as a party-loving socialite through early 2000s tabloid coverage of her nightlife and high-profile romances.
