Paris Hilton was born with the proverbial “silver spoon in her mouth”, and spent her childhood moving from one luxury home to another. While living in the family’s Beverly Hills mansion, she attended her freshman year of high school at the Marywood- Palm Valley School in California. When the Hilton family relocated to New York City in 1996, she continued her studies at the Dwight School. At this time, the family took up residence in a suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, and frequently vacationed at a multi- million dollar home in Hamptons.
Paris Hilton is no stranger to the limelight, and has been in the public eye since childhood. As East Coast transplants, she and her sister regularly attended society functions, charitable events, fashion shows and A-List parties. The two soon became regulars in the red carpet and a titillating 2000 Vanity Fair spread shot by famed photographer David LaChapelle cemented their burgeoning fame.
Around this time in 2000, she signed up with Donald Trump’s modeling agency, T Management. She also worked with other top agencies, including Ford Models Management in New York, and Model 1 Agency in London. She has fronted leading advertising campaigns such as Christian Dior and Tommy Hilfiger, and soon christened as “New York’s leading IT girl” in 2001.
Short-lived romances with actor Leonardo DiCarpio and boxer Oscar de la Hoya- as well as callous comments directed at her peers- earned Hilton bad press, and fortified her reputation for careless jet setting and hard partying.
Not content with her modeling career, Paris was anxious to make her debut in show business, with television likely to offer the best platform of her talents. Paris Hilton soon tried her hand at acting, making cameo in Zoolander, Ben Stiller’s feature length spoof of the modeling world.

In 2003, she teamed up with her long time friend- Nicole Richie to star in the 2003 Fox TV reality hit series, “The Simple Life.” For the purposes of the program the two girls tried their hand at a variety of blue- collar jobs, and started out by living with a family on their farm in rural Arkansas. The series showed the girls hanging out with local boys, working at their manual jobs, and performing all sorts of menial everyday tasks, which were clearly at odds with their luxurious upbringing and lifestyle. The Simple Life was such a big hit that it was promptly followed by three more series, respectively subtitled: Road Trip, Interns and ‘Til Death Us Do Part.
