It's Paris Hilton's world, and you're just living in it. The 41-year-old Hilton Hotels heiress has never been shy about showing off her lavish lifestyle, and it's easy to envy the pearls and Prada that seem to fill Paris's life.
In fact, she's so wealthy that a group dubbed "The Bling Ring" repeatedly robbed Paris in a string of high-profile celebrity burglaries during the early aughts. BTW: A new Netflix series, The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist, gives viewers an inside look into the group that decided to help itself to Paris's riches.
"We were constantly going to Paris' house," Nick Prugo, one of the robbers, says in the trailer. "It was like our personal ATM."
With the Netflix doc taking center stage RN, a lot of people are wondering how big Paris Hilton's net worth is more than a decade later.
And even though she comes with a famous last name (remember she is the sister of Nicky, daughter of Kathy, and great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton), most of Paris' bank account comes from her own businesses. As the heiress would say, "That's hot."
The Hilton fortune is massive—around $4.5 billion, according to Reuters. But Paris' grandfather, Barron Hilton, announced his plans to donate 97 percent of his money to charity back in 2004.
When Barron died in 2019, he left 3 percent of his money to his eight grandchildren, his 15 grandchildren, and his four great-grandchildren, per Insider. The 3 percent came to around $135 million total, per Celebrity Net Worth. That's no small sum, though. Split evenly, Paris would get $5.6 million. The rest of the money was donated to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, at Barron's request.
There were even rumors floating around that Paris had been cut out of her grandfather's will entirely. He wasn't exactly a fan of Paris' many scandals and thought she was an embarrassment to the Hilton family name, per Celebrity Net Worth.
