Paris Hilton was and is a pioneer of reality television, music, and media, as Us Weekly correctly describes her. Since her debut on the scene in the early 2000s—unbelievably, The Simple Life premiered 20 years ago (!)—to her velour tracksuits, DJ career, and early experiments in the metaverse, Hilton always seems to be about two steps ahead of the rest of us. “I’ve always been forward-thinking,” she told the outlet. “And not afraid to take risks.”
Okay so yes, she was born into enormous wealth—her last name is Hilton, after all—but she’s built an empire for herself, becoming a walking, breathing version of the word multihyphenate and, just when we think she can’t reinvent herself anymore, she does. “It’s about staying true to myself,” Hilton said. “And having a bit of luck always helps.”
