PARIS: A million meanings in a single name.

Heiress. Party girl. Problem child. Reality star. Entrepreneur. Innovator. Survivor. Activist. Daughter. Sister. Wife. Mother.

Paris rose to prominence as an heiress to the Hilton hotel empire but cultivated her fame and fortune as the ‘It Girl’ of the aughts, a time marked by the burgeoning 24-hour entertainment news cycle and the advent of the celebrity blog. Using her celebrity brand, Paris set in motion her innovative business ventures, while being the constant target of tabloid culture that dismissively wrote her off as “famous for being famous.” With tenacity and grit, she built a global empire and became beloved globally.

Now, with courage, honesty, and humour, Paris Hilton is ready to share her story. Paris: The Memoir strips away all we thought we knew about a celebrity icon, taking us back to a privileged childhood living with undiagnosed ADHD, teenage rebellion, and ’emotional growth boarding schools’, as well as her perilous journey through pre-#MeToo sexual politics.

Paris: The Memoir tracks the evolution of celebrity culture through the story of its leading figure and shows us Paris’ path to peace while she challenges us to question our role in her story and in our own. Welcome to Paris.
