Hilton was born with a silver spoon in her mouth in New York City in 1981. She grew up moving between exclusive homes in the States and France. She attended elite schools but wasn’t so strong academically. She was expelled from one school for violating its rules. She did not go to university but decided to be famous instead.

When she was 19, Paris signed with a leading modelling agency. She was immediately very successful. She appeared in numerous high-profile advertising campaigns for some of the world’s top brands.
