About

Paris Whitney Hilton is an American media personality, businesswoman, and socialite. Born in New York City, she is a great-granddaughter of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton. She first attracted tabloid attention in the late 1990s for her presence in New York City's social scene, ventured into fashion modeling in 2000, and was proclaimed "New York's leading It Girl" in 2001. The reality television series The Simple Life, in which she co-starred with her friend Nicole Richie, and a leaked 2003 sex tape with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, later released as 1 Night in Paris, catapulted her to global fame. Hilton's media ventures have included the reality television series Paris Hilton's My New BFF, The World According to Paris, Hollywood Love Story, Cooking with Paris, and Paris in Love; the documentaries Paris, Not France, The American Meme, and This Is Paris; the books Confessions of an Heiress, Your Heiress Diary, and Paris: The Memoir; as well as the podcast I am Paris.
