Paris Hilton not broke after all
Well dang. From
FOX News:
Pop Tarts: Grandpa Hilton Not Cutting Paris' Inheritance
Rumors that Paris Hilton may be out of pocket when her grandpa passes have been dismissed, according to her rep.
Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that Barron Hilton, the last remaining Hilton with a large share in the hotel chain, was so humiliated by Paris' wild ways and drunk-driving charge that he cut her inheritance by $60 million. However, Barron believes he has been misrepresented.
"Barron Hilton (Paris' grandfather) was contacted and said the characterization of his feelings toward Paris or his will are inaccurate," a spokesman for the hotel heiress told FOXNews.com.
While no comment was made regarding whether his will has been changed, Hilton's spokesman said Paris' relationship with her grandfather remains strong.
It just turns out that he was always planning to give the majority of his estate to charity...
The elder Hilton's opinion might not matter much to Hilton anyway, because billionaire Barron has always made it known he's giving almost all his fortune to charity, "House of Hilton" author Jerry Oppenheimer told the New York Post.
But he's still pissed:
That said, he's felt "incredibly embarrassed" by her transgressions, Oppenheimer said.
"He and the broader Hilton family are just disgusted that the Hilton family name has been sullied," Oppenheimer told the Post. "It's been a total embarrassment for him."
So this was just another publicity stunt and a lot of people got suckered in, myself included. Yawn...
