How Did Paris Hilton Increase Her Net Worth?

Although no one knows the exact amount of Paris Hilton’s net worth, the most recent estimates place the number at $100 million.

But thanks to her recent business endeavors, her empire is worth significantly more. In 2012, Hilton told FHM that her fragrances alone had generated upwards of $1.3 billion since 2005. Just imagine how much she’s racked up since then!

And for any of you wondering how her value just keeps growing, here’s what ENTITY knows about Paris Hilton’s net worth and empire.

1 Paris Hilton makes money for all her appearances.

In 2003 to 2004, Paris earned about $2 million for her television and movie roles, according to Forbes magazine. Then the following year, her TV, movie and modeling appearances brought in an additional $6.5 million.

But since Paris isn’t focusing on her on-screen career anymore, she only gets around $25,000 and $100,000 to appear at parties and clubs.

Nowadays, though, Paris works hard to craft her image. According to a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she cherishes her privacy and carefully chooses which events to attend.

2 But most of her money actually comes from the Paris Hilton stores.

There are over 40 Paris Hilton stores across the world that sell her various products. And according to Business Insider, Hilton earns $10 million a year from 17 different product lines. These products include handbags, clothing, shoes, sunglasses, pet products and fragrances. NY Daily News reports that her fragrances alone have brought in $1.5 billion in sales. Currently, Hilton has 16 perfumes up for sale.

“I want to be known as a businesswoman [not] a reality TV star,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I don’t like the way that sounds.”

3 Paris Hilton’s various properties have also increased her net worth.

Hilton’s primary residence is in the Mulholland Estates section near Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. And in 2007, Hilton also purchased a massive home for $5.9 million. On top of that, she also regularly rents a beach house in Malibu.

4 …And not to mention the many cars she owns…

You could probably expect that a socialite like Paris Hilton probably has a car to for every day of the week. That expectation isn’t too off.

Currently, Hilton owns a pink Bentley Continental and another Bentley convertible. She also owns a Rolls-Royce ghost, a Ferrari, a Lexus coupe, a Mercedes SLR, a Yukon Hybrid and a Cadillac Escalade.

Hilton may even have more, but that’s all we know about for now.
