Paris Hilton loses inheritance

July 30, 2007 02:16pm
Article from: The Daily Telegraph



PARTY princess Paris Hilton is $60 million out of pocket after her billionaire grandfather - appalled by her jail term for drink-driving offences - axed her inheritance.

Family patriarch Barron Hilton was already embarrassed by his granddaughter's wild behaviour - notably when her home sex video was leaked on the internet.

But the 79-year-old considered her 23-day sentence last month the last straw.

1. I think that warrants an earth shattering DOH!
Not sure if that is what constitutes justice. But it is good to see that some do not see wealth as privilege. It is worth noting that he is donating $2.4 billion to charity instead of to those of his family that have done nothing to deserve such wealth.

2. eh
she doesn't need it. She's made quite a bit of money on her own, and will continue to do so.

3. That's right, the super-rich in the U.S. stay that way
After you got a few million dollars a person can sit on their ass and just let the money roll in, and it's easier for Paris because of her name recognition.

4. I think TMZ has debunked this already
I don't have a link but I know that's what I've heard. She still will inherit around 30 mil.

5. Oh, well
It's not the first time I stepped on my crank and probably won't be the last.
