Paris Hilton is one of the most photographed celebrities in the world, and the curiosity surrounding her lifestyle is due in part to the incredible fortune she was born into. Heiress to the Hilton Hotel empire, Paris was born into the lap of luxury and her wild, larger-than-life experiences have unfolded in front of the cameras. Everything she does is of interest to her millions of fans across the globe, who are all tuned in to see what she says, buys, promotes, and of course, who she is spending her time with.

Being the heiress to a deep, exponentially huge fortune is not the only claim that Paris has on her multi-million dollar fortune. She has launched a series of her own product lines and engages in a variety of other ventures that generate significant income streams. As quickly as she earns her money, and adds to her $300 million net worth, Paris is equally great at spending it, and she does so in some very big ways.

In fact, sources indicate she spent in excess of $5000 in less than 40 minutes during a recent trip to Australia, and that was a modest, rushed shopping day.
