In a world today where the phrase “nepo baby” is often used in describing the success of an individual being heavily factored by the access they received out of nepotism from their family’s fame and fortune, Paris Hilton has made it her mission to create an original path all her own within reality television and a variety of business industries, while continuing to show respect for her family’s legacy.
In Paris’s new memoir, she discusses that for three generations, the Hilton men were the movers and shakers, while the Hilton women were often “the show horses.” After building her own empire over the past two decades, and individual accomplishments made by her mom Kathy and sister Nicky, Paris shared with me her thoughts about the Hilton women today, saying, “I am just so proud of everything that we’ve done in our lives. I know that my grandfather is so incredibly proud. He was my business mentor and I looked up to him so much. When I was little girl, I didn’t want to be known as ‘The Hilton Hotel Granddaughter’ – I just wanted to be known as Paris. I’ve accomplished that now and it feels really good.”
