Summary
Heiress. Party girl. Problem child. Selfie taker. Model. Reality star. Self-created.
The labels attached to Paris Hilton.
Founder. Entrepreneur. Pop Culture Maker. Innovator. Survivor. Activist. Daughter. Sister. Wife. Mother.
The roles Paris embraces as a fully realized woman.
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, sharp business acumen and grit, she built a global empire and, in the process, became a truly modern icon beloved around the world.
Now, with courage, honesty, and humour, Paris Hilton is ready to take stock, place it all in context and share her story with the world. Separating the creation from the creator, the brand from the ambassador, Paris: The Memoir strips away all we thought we knew about a celebrity icon, taking us back to a privileged childhood lived through the lens of undiagnosed ADHD, a teenage rebellion that triggered a panicked – and perilous – decision by her parents. Led to believe they were saving their child’s life, Paris’s mother and father had her kidnapped and saw her sent to a series of ‘emotional growth boarding schools’, where she survived almost two years of verbal, physical and sexual abuse. In the midst of a hell we now call the ‘troubled teen industry’, Paris created a beautiful inner world where the ugliness couldn’t touch her. She came out, resolving to trust no-one but herself as she transformed that fantasy world into a multibillion-dollar reality.
Recounting her perilous journey through pre-#MeToo sexual politics with grace, dignity and just the right amount of sass. Paris: The Memoir tracks the evolution of celebrity culture through the story of the figure at its leading edge, full of defining moments and marquee names. Most important, Paris shows us her path to peace while she challenges us to question our role in her story and in our own.
Welcome to Paris.

Discovering that you adore PH at age 31
Candid, raw, playful, unapologetic, feminine and powerful. I adore this woman. How have I made it to 31 without seeing her for who she really is? A powerhouse of authenticity, entrepreneurial spirit, fun and immeasurable strength! Love🩷

Wasn't expecting that!
When I started this book I didn't know much about Paris, I wasn't expecting this story of her life, not straight forward but an intriguing story, it's good she read it herself.

I’m ashamed how wrong I was about Paris
I’m not into celebrity or celeb culture, but the vitriol the media spewed about Paris must have seeped into my consciousness and I never questioned it. She is an amazing person who has gone through some absolute horrific things, I honestly wish her nothing but happiness, really great book.

recommended to me and I wasn't too sure
recommended by a friend. I wasn't too sure, as I do not know much about Paris or wouldn't class myself as a fan..... but I literally could not stop listening to the book.
It is narrated by her. its honest and raw and I really liked the way she takes you on a journey with her.
it's deep, but not uncomfortable and gives you a good insight into her life, childhood and outlook.

It wil change your opinion of Paris
I chose to listen to this book because it was recommended by YouTuber jack Edwards. Paris’ story is inspiring and this book completely changed my perception of who she is. What a strong, extraordinary and clever woman she is! She’s been through more than any child should ever have to and she’s completely honest about her experiences. She also recognises her privilege being born into the Hilton family! Honestly guys, just give it a listen ❤️
