well done to the grandfather i say!!

Quote:

The inheritance of US heiress Paris Hilton looks set to shrink dramatically after her grandfather announced plans to give most of his fortune to charity. Hotel magnate Barron Hilton, 80, will donate 97% of his $2.3bn (£1.2bn; 1.6bn euros) fortune to the Conrad N Hilton Foundation, set up by his father.
The funds come from the $20bn sale of Hilton Hotels to The Blackstone Group.
Reports have said that Mr Hilton is embarrassed by the behaviour of his granddaughter.
Ms Hilton, known for her party lifestyle, spent three weeks in jail earlier this year for violating probation in a drink driving case.
Mr Hilton will give $1.2bn immediately to a charitable trust that will eventually benefit the foundation.
The rest of the money will follow after his death.

I might be on my own in thinking this but Paris has probably made enough to live on much more comfortably than any of us on this forum anyway through making a fool out of herself alone, nevermind the tv show, perfume, music single and everything else, so she's hardly going to be forced into the same lifestyle as the average person just because her grandad is disgusted in her behaviour.

i actually agree here..... what exactly has paris done wrong for the world to hate her in the first place...

If my sums are right the remaining 3% of £1.2 billion is £36 million. I think she will manage ok.

shillelagh · 28-12-2007, 01:01

I'm not sure the world hates her, but she is a spoilt little rich kid, and some of the things she has done would not go down well with any respectable grandparent, I think the grandfather's decision will have an emotional impact on Paris, so the money isn't the real issue, as Blazey says, she doesn't need the money, but I bet she doesn't need to feel that her own grandfather doesn't like her very much either. Good shot grandad!

she could always make another video.........

People dislike her pretty much because she has everything that they havent got just for being someones child, not doing much else.

I like her because she does actually do other things and I imagine its quite stressful keeping yourself in the limelight all the time. Maybe people don't keep an eye on what's going on in celebrity news but alot of actors recently had a rant at paparazzi driving them off the roads and stuff just for pictures and stalking them. Mustn't be easy having to subject yourself to that freely just so you are kept in the spot light.

I watched the simple life for the first time the other night, seen as its xmas and all that

and I loved it because it was just so silly. Paris is making money out of making herself look unintelligent and stupid, with her silly dogs and her pop singles. If I could be her I would be, and I think that no matter how much people hate her for being the 'spoilt rich kid' we'd all jump at the chance of being her, regardless of having to carry the silly dog.

I think you're right. I don't think she'll be forced to live off Big Bob's beans and smart price bread.
