Early Life

Paris Whitney Hilton was born in New York City on February 17, 1981, to businessman Richard Hilton and socialite and former child actress Kathy Hilton. She is the oldest of four children, with one sister, Nicky Hilton Rothschild (born 1983), and two brothers, Barron Hilton II (born 1989) and Conrad Hughes Hilton (born 1993). (born 1994).

Her uncles are Steven M. Hilton, Ronald Jeffrey Hilton, Daniel Kevin Hilton, David Alan Hilton, and William Barron Hilton Jr.

Conrad N. Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels, was her paternal great-grandfather; her maternal aunts are Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, celebrities. Paris Hilton‘s ancestors are from Norway, Germany, Italy, England, Ireland, and Scotland. The family was devoutly Catholic.

Paris Hilton moved around when she was younger, residing in Beverly Hills, the Hamptons, and a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. Her relatives characterized her as “very much a tomboy” who aspired to be a veterinarian.

According to her mother, Paris Hilton used to save her money to buy monkeys, snakes, and goats, and she reportedly recalled an event in which a young Paris left “the snake out the cage at the Waldorf.” She grew up in a “sheltered, conservative” environment; her parents were very strict, and she was not permitted to date, wear make-up or certain sorts of clothing, or attend school dances.

Her mother put her in etiquette classes, intending to introduce her as a debutante, which Paris Hilton was initially hesitant about because it did not feel “genuine” or “natural.” It was “extremely proper, quite prim, almost like a Stepford wife,” she said. Lionel Richie, Donald Trump, and Michael Jackson were among the people in the family’s social circle.
