Paris Hilton Disinherited
Hotel magnate Barron Hilton has pledged $1.37 billion to a family charitable trust and plans to leave the bulk of his fortune to the body when he dies.
Did Paris Hilton's recklessness cause her not to be the worthy beneficiary of such a fortune?
It might be. For everyone has standards. In some countries in the world, it does not matter how wealthy one is, if you bring shame to your family name, be expected to be blacklisted, disinherited or the one people whisper about next time you make a public appearance.
Some persons among us, no matter how wealthy, or not, do not take it too well when someone else in the family does something to tarnish the family good name. Because to some people, that family name is sacred.
I think that it is obvious that Paris Hilton will prevail without her grandfather's millions, especially given all the endorsements and reality shows she has been a part of. If not, hopefully she has an emergency fund set aside with three to six months of living expenses to assist her while she finds some employment.

I love it. It’s about time a celebrity’s actions has repercussions. I’ve always wondered how her family elders felt about all the embarrasment that she has brought to the Hilton name. Since she influences so many young girls, maybe they will get the message that their actions will eventually have consequences. The icing on the cake is that the money will go to charity as long as she can’t still get her hands on it later.
