[Granpapa is cutting her off](http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22157701-1702,00.html). Nice to know someone in that family has some sense. ---

Not quite. I don’t have a cite, but I’ve seen it in several articles and tv programs that she’s made more money on her own than what her inheritance was going to be. Don’t forget, Daddy is worth a nice sum, too. ---

[QUOTE=DiosaBellissima] Don’t forget, Daddy is worth a nice sum, too. [/QUOTE] But _he_ ain’t kickin’ it anytime soon. Still, I’m a little surprised that Gran’ Pappy’s contribution to her wealth was to be a ‘mere’ US$60M - they way she parties, one’d think all US$2.4B were her own to spend. _shrug_ As said, she’s probably gotten more than that in her own right, anyway. And if she’s ever feeling desitute, she can invite Howard Stern to do a Pay-Per-View drunken orgie broadcast from one of her parties. ---

[QUOTE=Contrapuntal] Is she still an heiress? [/QUOTE] One supposes, though no longer to the Hilton Fortune.[sup]TM[/sup]\* Unless her parents disown her. \*It’s the Hilton Fortune[sup]TM[/sup] that always has the press in a tizzy. One might hope that she’d fade from prominace now, though I suppose it’s too late for that. ---

When her storage unit was auctioned off, there were bunches of letters from financial advisors and her father, talking about her various investments and stuff. She’s pretty secured, it seems. Her dad (who in several letters mentioned personally funding things like her perfume venture and such) seems to be the one truly working out her finances. Plus, remember that Paris doesn’t have to pay for those parties she goes to, the clothes she wears, or probably even the cars she drives. Celebrities get so much crap for free that it boggles the mind. ---

Suit yourself, I wouldn’t supply a uniform at all. Of course she would be expected to work in the uniform I didn’t provide. ---

“According to Forbes Magazine, Hilton earned approximately $2 million in 2003–2004, $6.5 million in 2004–2005, and $7 million in 2005–2006.” Wonder how much she spends though. Regardless, a free $60 mil is gonna hurt. ---
