Paris Hilton has been running her very own empire for nearly 15 years now, and it appears she's managed to make millions off of one single persona. While we all know and love Paris as the ditzy blonde she portrayed on her hit reality show "The Simple Life", alongside bestie, Nicole Richie, it seems as if that isn't who Paris truly is. Although nobody knows exactly who Paris Hilton is, we are about to find out.
The socialite turned businesswoman is set to release her documentary, "This Is Paris", on September 14. The film will be made public on Paris' YouTube channel, with an extended version being made available on YouTube Premium. While Paris has put her personal life out there for most of her career, fans are finally finding out who the real Paris is, and how she's been putting on an act this whole time.
Princess Paris No More?
The world fell in love with Paris Hilton after being the "it" girl of the 2000s. From partying with Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, popularizing the Juicy Couture jumpsuit, all the way to single-handedly revolutionizing the world of reality television, Paris Hilton has done it all. The star, who is the great-granddaughter to the late Hilton Hotel creator, Conrad Hilton, made a name for herself outside of her family, but it certainly cost her!
According to a number of sources, Paris Hilton's questionable ways, which included incessant shopping, club and event appearances, and lots of nights out, led to her family losing out on $4.5 billion. Barron Hilton had specifically adjusted his will to leave 97% of his assets to charity, with only 3% being split by over two-dozen Hilton family members. Although this may seem like an understandable consequence to Paris' wild days, it appears as if it was all for nothing!
Paris Hilton has portrayed the ditzy blonde rich girl since her "The Simple Life" days with Nicole Richie. The socialite took that role and ran with it! From a chihuahua in each arm all the way to her signature catchphrase "that's hot", Paris found herself at the top of the social hierarchy, and it was all from playing a little dumb. Who knew lowering your IQ could be such a brilliant move!
As time has gone on, Paris Hilton has moved on from her typical act of partying to running an empire. While her moment under the spotlight consisted of a lot of headlines and paparazzi shots, Hilton transformed her brand into a billion-dollar business. Although this may sound like something Paris Hilton could never do, she did and has always been capable! The star has revealed that the Paris Hilton we all know and love, is not the real Paris.
Not only has Hilton put on a "baby voice" for most of her career, as it matched her image at the time, she's also quite the smart cookie! Paris has managed to create an empire that has allowed her to amass a net worth of $300 million, and it's safe to say that the brand itself is worth substantially more! She may have cost her family billions, but she certainly found a way to keep herself afloat.
Leave it to Paris Hilton to fool us all and turn a character into a billion-dollar fortune! "I'm a lot smart than I pretend to be", Paris said to InStyle. "The world got introduced to me with 'The Simple Life' with this kind, ditzy, blonde airhead character, but that's never who I've been", Hilton finished. The star has not only been putting on a voice for most of her career, but she is far more reserved and business-minded than people think.
This is not the only secret that Paris Hilton has been keeping from us! The star is set to release her documentary, "This Is Paris", onto her YouTube channel on September 14. The documentary, which will also include an extended version on YouTube Premium, is meant to show Paris in a light we have never seen her in before. The curtain is finally being pulled back and the true and authentic Paris Hilton is ready to come out. The star claims that at times she "doesn't know who she is", after having gotten lost in her own character.
The documentary not only touches on how Paris Hilton had to play a less intelligent character but the struggles she faced as a child and the reported "torture" she and her sister, Nicky Hilton, had to endure. With a performance of a lifetime, secrets galore, and a drama-filled trailer, this documentary is set to reveal a lot more than we think!
