Paris Hilton Is NOT A Billionaire Heiress

You’d expect to see Paris Hilton on a list of billionaire heiresses, but Julia Louis-Dreyfus?

Louis-Dreyfus ranks fourth on Forbes magazine’s list of the top ten Hot Billionaire Heiresses. Her father is worth $3.5 billion.

Paris Hilton tops the list. She and her sister Nicky are separated by Ivanka Trump, who comes in at number two. Nicky Hilton is third.

Fashion designer Ralph Lauren’s daughter Dylan ranks fifth.

At number six is Aerin Lauder, whose dad chairs Clinique Laboratories.

William Randolph Hearst’s great-granddaughter Amanda Hearst is number seven, followed by Delphine Arnault Gancia, the daughter of luxury goods tycoon Bernard Arnault. Britain’s answer to Paris Hilton, Tamara Eccelstone, is ninth and Virgin mogul Richard Branson’s daughter Holly Branson is tenth.

This is a phony article from the Associated Press. Paris Hilton is not a billionaire, although Barron Hilton, her grandfather, is.

On their website, Forbes makes it clear: “We evaluated all the familiar faces to come up with our second annual list of the world’s 10 hottest heiresses. To compile our list, we considered the size of their relatives’ fortune and their relationship to the billionaire. Daughters, for instance, were given more points than more distant relations. But because this list is more about that buzz than billions, we gave three times more weight to exposure as measured by Google (nasdaq: GOOG – news – people ) hits, mentions in print publications and media transcripts.”

This is only going to speard more misinformation about Paris.
