Paris Hilton

The heiress to the Hilton Hotels chain is best known as a partying socialite, but she also takes time out of her busy schedule to do good. She mainly focuses on childrens' causes, also doing work for AIDS sufferers and the homeless. After seeing a PETA video showing an animal being killed, Paris swore off fur, and even turned vegetarian.

Paris draws on one of her big assets, closets full of designer clothing, to support various causes. She often goes through, picking out things to give away or auction off. Her simple presence at a party, or acting as a host, can bring in lots of media attention and funds. She has given her time and money to the Make a Wish FoundationClothes Off Our BackBottletop and Education Africa to name just a few.

Paris was born to a hotel-chain owning family in New York City and attended private school in California. She grew up in the company of other now-socialites, including Nicole Ritchie and Kim Kashardian. Paris became something of an It-girl after appearing in various modeling campaigns and starring in the reality television show, The Simple Life, with Ritchie. After a DUI sentence, Hilton served a short prison term in 2007. The media covered this, and all of her other moves and boyfriends, breathlessly.

Highlights

  • In 2007, Paris vowed to become a vegetarian and stop wearing fur.
  • In 2008, Paris hosted "Christmas with the Stars" for the Make a Wish Foundation.
  • In 2009, she donated purses for a fundraiser for cancer cures.
  • She has donated to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles on many occasions.
