Paris Hilton began modeling as a child, initially at charity events. When she was 19, she signed with Donald Trump's modeling agency, T Management.[14] Hilton has also worked with Ford Models in New York, Models 1 Agency in London, Nous Model Management in Los Angeles, and Premier Model Management in London. She has appeared in numerous advertising campaigns, including Iceberg Vodka, GUESS, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Dior, and Marciano. In 2001, Hilton began to develop a reputation as a socialite, being identified as "New York's leading It Girl" whose fame was beginning to "extend beyond the New York tabloids". She has appeared in several magazines, including the April 2004 issue of Maxim.

Paris and sister Nicky garnered reams of bad press as notorious socialites, famed for rudeness, dancing on top of bar banquettes, going topless and parading around in designer T-shirts with slogans like, "Got Blow?"

Perhaps in an effort to clean up her image, Paris has tried to make her mark by working on more substantial projects. In 2001, she had a cameo appearance in Ben Stiller's fashion spoof, 'Zoolander'. Other appearances include a role as a strung-out supermodel in the film short 'QIK2JDG', 'The Hillz' (with boyfriend Jason Shaw), 'Wonderland', and the big-screen adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic, 'The Cat in the Hat'. The FOX reality show, 'The Simple Life', which is based on 1960’s sitcom 'Green Acres', and features Paris Hilton and Lionel Ritchie’s daughter, Nichole, living on a farm, has been a huge hit.

On top of her burgeoning acting career, Paris has designed a high-end collection of purses for Tokyo label Samantha Thavasa. Attempts to start a modelling company and a makeup line have not succeeded.

in 2004, Paris Hilton is the founder of Heiress Records, a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records. Though Heiress Records' only release as of yet has been Paris, Hilton has said that she plans to sign new artists in the future. Hilton began work on an album in 2004. The album; Paris, was released on August 22, 2006. Before release, Hilton hinted that her album would feature a number of genres, such as pop, reggae, and hip-hop.

After a while according to the NY Post, "Socialite Paris Hilton is addicted to playing poker after recently being taught the game." Her & her sister Nicky have hosted a poker tournament or two, but I had no idea poor, poor Paris had it so bad. Hilton is quoted as saying, ""I'm obsessed with poker. It's my favorite game now." I wonder if she says "I've got me sisters!" when she gets a pair of queens?
