Paris Hilton would like you to know that she's self-made. Yes, this direct descendant of the man who founded the multi-billion-dollar Hilton Hotel chain thinks she made her fortune all by herself.
In a new interview, she says, quote, "Ever since I was a teenager, I wanted to be independent. I didn't want to have to ask my family for anything.
"Yes, I came from Hilton hotels, but I've parlayed it into such a huge business that even my grandfather said to me, 'I used to be known as Barron Hilton. Now I'm known as Paris Hilton's grandfather.'"
She adds, quote, "Everything I've done, I've done on my own, and yes, I do come from a last name, but there also are many children I know that come from families who, you know, take the choice of not doing anything with their lives."
Paris compares her situation to that of Kylie Jenner, who has also claimed to be self-made.
Quote, "I think any woman who is going to get into business and be an entrepreneur and make a big name and brand for themselves, they are self-made."
