Paris Hilton was born
on February 17, 1981 in New York City into the Hilton family and, along
with her three younger siblings.
Hilton is widely scorned for what some see as her narcissism, shallow
intellect and materialism and for other things besides, but she seems to
be aware of the old adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity
and it should be evident even to her detractors that she is ambitious
and driven to achieve, rather than simply basking in her family's vast
fortune, as do so many other socialites. In fact, performing is only
part of her many activities and she has dabbled in designing, writing
nightclub management and even marketing video games.
