Paris Hilton’s Net Worth
Nowadays if you say Hilton, it is almost inevitable for you no to say Paris Hilton. Admired by some, reviled by others, Paris is the controversial blonde heiress, a modern Marie Antoinette by the way she loves luxury and defies the reality around her. She is today the image of a successful American dynasty, although she may not exactly fit the traditional patterns of those who are part of high society.
She did not study at Harvard, Yale, or Brown, and she did not pass the threshold of the Astor school of good manners, but she bears the name of Hilton, a name with a rich history and fame to match. It’s amazing how just a name can bring you so much power, wealth and recognition and it’s also amazing how you can detach yourself from its greatness, turning it into a brand as Paris did.
What is Paris Hilton’s net worth?
Paris Hilton is a model, an actress, an occasional DJ, chihuahua loving owner, a mediocre singer, a (first) reality star, a fashion designer, a businesswoman, and a socialite. She has a net worth of $300 million at the time this article is written. However, she says she won’t stop until she hits the $1 billion mark. In a documentary posted on YouTube, Paris confessed that she hasn’t had a vacation since she was 15. She travels 250 days a year, but every time for professional purposes.
Inheritance from her grandfather
Barron Hilton, the grandfather of the famous Paris Hilton, and the owner of the hotel empire of the same name died in 2019. Of his fortune of $4.5 billion, he left the family only 3%. The heirs of the Hilton family are 8 children, 15 grandchildren, including Paris and Nicky Hilton, and 4 great-grandchildren, who would share $135 million. This would be around $5.6 million for each family member. The bulk of the fortune, namely 97% of it, will go to a foundation that deals with humanitarian projects.
Paris’s grandfather, Barron Hilton, apparently learned the same lesson from his father, Conrad Hilton, who, upon his death in 1979, left nothing in his will to his children or other descendants.
Except that Barron Hilton challenged that decision and won in 1988. He went on to multiply the numbers by many zeroes of the fortune, and Paris Hilton would go on to inherit several hundred million dollars. At least that was to be expected.

Born on February 17, 1981, in New York, Paris is one of the 4 children of Richard and Kathy Hilton. The star has a younger sister, Nicky Hilton, as well as 2 brothers, Barron Hilton II and Conrad Hilton III. Grandparents are Barron Hilton and Marilyn Hawley.

Adult tape
In June 2004, her life changed forever after her ex-boyfriend, Rick Salomon, sold an adult tape of the two of them to adult websites. He would have received millions of dollars in return. Paris sued Rick and it was reported that she received $400,000 for that video.
Various ventures
In the fall of 2004, Hilton released an autobiographical book, titled Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose. The critics appreciated the book as a work written by an amateur. However, it became a bestseller.
In 2004, the star founded Heiress Records, a sub-division of Warner Bros. Records.
She released her debut album, Paris, on August 22, 2006. Although the album reached number 6 on the Billboard 200, sales were below expectations. The first single released, Stars Are Blind, reached 18th place on the Billboard Hot 100. Turn It Up and Nothing in This World received the status of world hits.
Hilton launched several nightclubs, called Club Paris. The first was opened in Orlando, Florida, and was a huge success. A second club followed in Jacksonville Florida. According to Forbes Magazine, the artist earned approximately $2 million in 2003-2004, $6 million in 2004-2005, and $7 million in 2005-2006.

After six marriage proposals, the heiress of the Hilton empire found her chosen one. Carter Reum is the one who took the 40-year-old star to the altar in November 2021. She wanted a fairytale wedding that would last three days and three nights, which ended up costing several million dollars.
