  • T4z3R, on 10/10/2007, -12/+720That's probably the only reason she was crying when she went to jail.
  • skwurlhunter, on 11/02/2007, -5/+638Grandpa Hilton is my new hero.
  • bigsim, on 10/30/2007, -5/+591She's got friggin' millions of dollars anyway. Good on her grandpa for sticking it to her and donating the money to charity.
  • yamyogurt, on 10/10/2007, -30/+478...penises in her vag

  • Nodaki, on 10/10/2007, -4/+311Way to go gramps.
  • Error601, on 10/30/2007, -6/+290Yea, but she's famous now so can make money for doing basically nothing. Just do a "tell all" book.
  • Anrkist, on 10/10/2007, -7/+270She may have lost 60 Mil but sadly she already has several million.
  • rolf, on 10/30/2007, -8/+227Out of all the things she has done, Grandpa is appalled by a DUI?!
  • ilkeryoldas, on 10/30/2007, -10/+221Funny comment from Reddit: "



    So what? Really, Paris is the only member of the family upon whom this has nearly no effect.

    Love her or hate her, the fact is that Paris Hilton is just about the only person in the family who is really making their own money anymore. You might not like how she does it, but it's a pretty well known fact that there are a lot of Hiltons, with each of their share of the family fortune coming in at only a couple of million dollars (I was actually pretty surprised at the 60 million figure, I had heard it was much lower. I guess maybe the numbers I read didn't take into account the redistribution of Gramps' money). A lot of them live relatively modestly, while Paris works pretty much nonstop to keep her coffers filled. Certainly you could argue that getting paid six figures to fly out to Australia for an hour or two of clubbing is monstrous, but, hey, that's capitalism for you.

    With the money that she makes from her partying, licensing, television, print, and other media deals, I'm sure Paris is crying all the way to the bank over this one.

    "hahahahahah"

    unlucky bitch :D

    This one and the one where she dies.

  • jmreid, on 10/10/2007, -2/+55you're such a Diggist.
  • amoirae, on 10/10/2007, -0/+52How I wish that was true.
  • tritiumpie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+53Warren Buffett does this. Read a story once about his daughter needing a few thousand dollar loan. He typed up a loan contract with a payment plan... and charged her interest!

    No matter how wealthy you are, it is the parents' job to teach their children two things: self-sufficiency and the value of a (preferably hard-earned) dollar
  • TheTaoOfBill, on 10/10/2007, -1/+48Wish I could say the same for you. Oh well. We can't all be as cool as CZzyzx41.
  • sgentry6, on 10/10/2007, -1/+47The first Hilton's hand you can shake without needing a trip to the doctor for Valtrex.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -6/+49Look, I thought we all agreed we were just gonna stop talking about her, and pray that if we ignored her, she'd go away. And now she's making the news for becoming a nobody!? WTF!? The sheer irony of the situation is gonna make my head explode.
  • nblsavage, on 10/10/2007, -5/+47A point I think you guys are missing tho, Paris has her own money also, from her own business ventures. Broke she ain't and not likely to be anytime soon. More's the pity.
  • IrwinFletcher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+42She may still have her own sources of revenue, but it's still nice to know someone in that family has some sense.
  • allengeer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+43It doesn't matter. Paris Hilton has already made it herself. She has a steady influx of TV appearances, a music career (albeit one that sucks), several promotion spots, she doesn't need granddad's 60 mil. She can whore around just as well on her own 20 mil.
  • DarKnight90, on 10/10/2007, -2/+42Uh ok? You feel sorry for someone so rich and spoiled?
  • PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -7/+47Ah, Justice still flows in our world.
  • bigtomrodney, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40I'm sure I'm not the first to say ...

    YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
  • BigSax, on 10/10/2007, -0/+38I see what you did there.
  • Treason, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37If he has a cane, he might want to give her a good hit on the head with it too.
  • nesagwa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37For humanities sake, I hope she uses a ghost writer.
    Could you imagine what kind of book she would produce all on her own?
  • korashime2001, on 10/10/2007, -0/+36It was probably just the straw that broke the camel's back.
  • EndlessTorment, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37I think enough people have "stuck it" to her already.

    Now, we just need her parents to erase any inheritance too.
  • jj9000, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it..
  • TheAkolyte, on 10/10/2007, -6/+37Hardly.
  • dmcbride6, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31The millions she has right now wont last...

    She'll blow it like she blows everything else.
  • bluetrevian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32Seriously. This made me smile.
