The
eldest of four children of Richard Hilton and Kathy Richards. Her
younger sister is Nicky Hilton, and her younger brothers are Barron
Hilton II and Conrad Hilton II.
On the maternal side of her family, Hilton is a niece of two popular
child stars of the 1970s - Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, who
appeared in the motion picture Escape to Witch Mountain and TV shows
like Nanny and the Professor, Little House on the Prairie, and later,
ER. By marriage, she also is related to Zsa Zsa Gabor (the
Hungarian-born actress married Paris Hilton's great-grandfather
Conrad Hilton) as well as Elizabeth Taylor (the actress's first
husband was Paris Hilton's great-uncle, Conrad Nicholson Hilton
Jr.).
Her paternal grandparents are hotel chairman Barron Hilton and his
wife, the former Marilyn Hawley, and her paternal great-grandparents
were Hilton Hotel founder Conrad Hilton and his first wife, Mary
Barron. When Conrad Hilton died in 1979, he left nothing in his will
to his children or other descendants. Barron Hilton contested this
decision and won in 1988.
Hilton moved between several exclusive homes in her youth, including
a suite in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, Beverly Hills,
and the Hamptons. Currently, her parents own a $30.5 million mansion
in Bel Air, a $12.3 million estate in the Hamptons, and a $10
million house in the Hollywood Hills in which she and her sister
stay to give them privacy and for easy access to clubs in Los
Angeles.
After attending high school at the Dwight School in New York, but
dropping out and eventually earning a GED, Hilton decided not to
attend a university.
Hilton shot to prominence when a sex tape of her with then-boyfriend
Rick Salomon was leaked onto the Internet shortly after The Simple
Life debuted. On June 9, 2004 it was released as a DVD titled 1
Night in Paris which was presented by Salomon. Hilton sued Salomon
for releasing the tape, but the suit was settled. Hilton received US
$400,000 and a percentage of the profits, which were donated to
charity.
