I suppose it all points to the power of "buzz" or word-of-mouth marketing. Because she managed to get people talking about her in a manner/context normally reserved for true celebrities, she was implicitly elevated celebrity status? And that opened the door for the "Simple Life"?
Perhaps it is not so much a matter of how much you stand to inherit, but that any stake in a family fortune, no matter how small, is worth talking about if the overall fortune is large enough.
Still, I wouldn't mind being worth $15 million, even if it is only a pittance to some folks.

Yes...we all know that her talent is like the holy grail and the ark of the covenant....i.e. people have been searching for it for years....but nobody has ever found it...ha ha
BTW....some trivia for you...all this "heiress" label Paris carries with her is actually really a pittance and nothing much at all. Yes...the Hilton family fortine is a large fortune....but the Hilton family heirs and their siblings are a LARGE family and there are many other heirs too...and Paris' own inheritance stake was never estimated to be worth more than about $15 miillion dollars...and NOBODY in this day and age is considered to be a heiress unless they are worth at LEAST 100 million dollars.....you don't even make Forbes magazine these days unless you are a billionaire....so Paris' inhertance and personal net worth has never exceeded 20 million. And the interesting irony is...Paris has actually made MORE money from her Simple Life series and her modelling and perfume contracts in the last 3 years...than her Hilton inheritance was ever worth in the first place. So...she has actually made more money on her own...that the tiny inheritance she stands to collect.
To quote Paul Hogan's famous line in Crocodile Dundee......"thats not a knife......now THATS a knife"
"Paris Hilton....thats not an heiress......but Anna-Nicole Smith (standing to collect 500 million)....now THATS an heiress".

By AnthonyX - anthonyx@jowc.net Sun 04/06/06 05:59:11 GMT What's the big deal about Paris Hilton? I don't think she's all that attractive, and she's only a celebrity because the media chose to make her one. Just because she is an heiress to a large fortune, it's no reason to make her a celebrity; there must be dozens if not hundreds of other heiresses to equally large or perhaps larger fortunes, none of whom are celebrities.
