In this rare, candid conversation with her new sister-in-law, Paris Hilton opens up about what it’s really like as a wife, the woman she is behind the character, how she turned pain into purpose, and why she wants her legacy to be impact over glamour.
Misunderstood as a “party heiress” for decades, she talks about quietly building the blueprint for the $250B creator economy, turning her name into a $4B global brand, and building what she calls the next Disney, all while being a wife and mother to the cutesie crew.
In this episode, we get into:
What family life is like for Paris Hilton and how she balances it all
Why she created the “Paris Hilton” character as both a shield and a launchpad
How she transformed being underestimated into her superpower
The exact moment she realized fame could become a business
What it takes to balance being a mogul and a mom — and why she believes you can have it all
Her blueprint for turning $3B in fragrance sales into true ownership with her skincare line, Parívie
The behind-the-scenes creative process that drives her products, businesses, and upcoming documentary
How she’s using her platform to pass legislation, protect children, and redefine what it means to be iconic
Why she’s building the next Disney — an ecosystem of content, commerce, and community
The legacy she wants to leave: kindness, impact, and sparkle
This is Paris Hilton like you’ve never seen her before and I’m so excited to call her family!
