UPDATE

TMZ is now reporting that this story is inaccurate and that Hilton still stands to inherit as much as 30 Million.

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.

"He was, and is, extremely embarrassed by how the Hilton name has been sullied by Paris," says Jerry Oppenheimer, who wrote a biography of the clan called House Of Hilton.

"He now doesn't want to leave unearned wealth to his family."

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Generally I wouldn't seed anything about Paris' latest antics but this really isn't about her so much as her grandfather.

Barron Hilton is protecting his family name. Good for him. Good for all of us really. Paris serves as a role model for far too many girls. Seeing her booted from her grandfather's will might serve to temper that image.

Personally I'm over the media's addiction to the Paris Hilton saga. It's boring but it sure does sell newspapers. I'm hopeful but not convinced this is the last we'll hear about Paris. Surely there are more interesting people in this world?

I can't help but notice Schnoo, that out of your 725 seeds, 3 regard Paris Hilton, giving your a "Paris Percentage" of 0.4%. By way of comparison, I have four seeds tagged with Paris Hilton, one of which is really a critique of CNN for choosing to drop an interview with Michael Moore for one with her -- so three seeds that are actually about her.

Out of my 2208 seeds that gives me a Paris Percentage of 3/2208 = 0.1%

Michael, you've got 10 seeds in total so I really can't run any meaningful numbers on you save to note that you seem to have a deep and profound hatred of Daily Kos.

I agree. I think it's about time Paris had to pay for her actions. She's probably never had anyone say no to her ever. About time she's called to account for her life and since she hasn't seemed repentant at all, I can't really blame her grandfather for axing her inheritance. Make her actually earn her money. If she can figure out how to do that besides letting paparazzi take pics of her digging sand out of her bikini bottom.

Though I will have to admit, the idea of her greeting at wal-mart is pretty funny! ;-)

I would develop a series of prototype communities. Each community, designed to be self-sustaining and environmentally low impact and centered around several employee run businesses, would house between 1000 to 5000 persons with cradle to grave support of all needs. I would start in an urban area, like Oakland, but on higher ground. I would do my best to provide the most opportunities for the people being displaced by my activities, as I would attempt to reclaim the worst of the slums.

I suspect it would take more than one lifetime. ::sigh::

I'm having a Nick Carraway moment:

In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had." While reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope, I've come to admit that my tolerance of human behavior has its limits. Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this story, represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. And yet there was something gorgeous about him. Some hightened sensitivity to the promises of life, a romantic readiness such as I've never found in any other person and which it is not likely I'll ever find again.

I knew you were alluding to T.S. Eliot. I was oh so cleverly drawing a parallel between the valley of ashes symbolism in The Great Gatsby to The Wasteland.

Just as a point of perspective, I would like to point out that Ms. Hilton's notoriety is actually less about her, and more about the public need to vicariously live their fantasies through the actions of others. I do not condone her behavior; it's categorically over the top, but it is not substantially different from the behavior of several thousand other well-to-do young people in the Hollywood area. If we, as the public consumers, did not support, in a major way, the media attention given to Ms. Hilton, she would have been a social non-event.
We create our heroes and anti-heroes to compensate for those areas lacking in our lives. We reward, or punish, them according to our needs more than according to what has actually transpired. Paris Hilton's behavior, while hedonistic to a fault, has been influenced by the attention the public has showered upon her, to a large extent and if it had not been there, her motivation to "act out" would have been substantially less.

Another name that could have used some protection is the Hilton hotel chain.

The Hilton family does not own Hilton Hospitality, Inc. anymore. And Hilton Hospitality, Inc. does not even own a significant portion of the hotels that market themselves as Hilton.

Some hotels in exchange for using the Hilton brand, accept management support from Hilton Hospitality, Inc. while others are wholly owned by the company.

Recently a hedge fund or something bought Hilton Hospitality, Inc. If it was my money, the first thing I would have done was launch a very public re-branding campaign, use the sale as an excuse to escape the Hilton name, family and reputation.

So if you think boycotting a Hilton hotel somehow boycotts Paris, you are very incorrect.

Blackstone bought Hilton. I worked on the deal. Rumor has it now that both Marriott and Starwood might be in play. Most hoteliers don't actually own the real estate their hotels sit on. They buy the dirt and build it and then sell it to an investor group/franchisee while maintaining a management contract to run the hotel. That way they can tap the value of the underlying r.e. and lessen their attractiveness as a takeover target.

Yep. This is one of my big clients.

Funny thing about Trump that the general public doesn't know is that he's something of a joke in the commercial r.e. world.

Trump is good at one thing: self promotion. He and Michael Moore have that in common.

Most people haven't a clue regarding how many of Trump's enterprises have failed and resulted in bankruptcy proceedings. It's difficult to lose money running a casino let alone file for bankruptcy, but Trump's managed to do it.

Paris, please don't listen to the nasty things all these people are saying about you. If you're ever in DC, drinks are on me at The Mayflower and then we can hit Ibiza. You'd love it there, darling. Your buddy Kim Kardashian was there for the opening and I'm sure I can arrange a private audience with Bill Clinton for you with enough advance notice (you know so he can make sure you know who is going to be out of town).

Remember, she's a model (somehow) and she's in movies, so she's still going to be fairly well off. And her parents don't care about what she's doing - they encourage it by not punishing her. If I were her grandfather, I'd take away the hotels and the money from all of them for being irresponsible and give it all to her sister or something. Not only is she 100% more attractive, but as far as I know she's 100% less stupid.

what is the big problem with paris hilton? she's famous because she's famous. what other criteria ever existed for being famous? yeah yeah, news about her and tom cruise and all the @!$%# crazy lot of em is essentially meaningless to improving our society, but dont we all know that already?

she's hot, she's cute, she's passionately egocentric, which i admire a great deal in this day and age, and she's done time. if she wants to stay at my place cause she's homeless, she's more than welcome. i'm always up for a party, and i'm sure she's got some great connections, and i wouldnt mind meeting her agent or manager or whatever the @!$%#, at least for my own personal gain. maybe theyd read my novels and i could be famous too.
