Paris Hilton- Money Opportunist or Great Business Woman?


Paris Hilton is the rich heiress of the hotel giant Conrad Hilton, her great grand father. One can say she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her mother, Kathy Richards married Richard Howard Hilton and then became instantly rich. Paris Hilton has two brothers and one sister but we almost never hear of them. One can wonder why Paris Hilton is always in the spotlights.

Paris Hilton s talents have been proven to be very limited so far. Yet, she manages to be on important magazine covers weekly and is one of the top searches on the internet. Paris Hilton has tempted a career in modeling, acting and singing with limited results.

Paris Hilton s romantic relationships have been with rich heirs such as Paris Latsis, a young rich Greek heir. Most of her relationships have not lasted long just like it is the case for Hollywood s romances. Is Paris Hilton than just a parasite? Is she just pursuing the plan her grandmother always taught her and her mother: to pursue money rather than love at any price.

Paris Hilton is now estimated to be worth well over 40 million dollars. Is this money all other people s money she squeezed out of na ve people? Has Paris Hilton ever lifted a finger to gain money on her own? The answer is YES. Paris Hilton is responsible for a good part of her fortune and can raise her head high by being able to say she is not a parasite but rather a good business woman. Paris Hilton has capitalized on her main talent which is to manage to be noticed and attract attention rather it be positive or negative. In short, Paris Hilton has the power to trigger three reactions in most people, indifference is not one of them. Hence, people either love Paris Hilton, hate her or love to hate her. One only has to search the many forums devoted to Paris Hilton to realize the strong reactions she creates. We can disagree with Paris Hilton s way of doing business but we have to admire the free publicity she is able to create for herself constantly.
