Paris Hilton, born on February 17, 1981, in New York City, is a globally recognized socialite and businesswoman. She first rose to fame in the early 2000s due to her privileged upbringing as a member of the Hilton family, who owns the Hilton Hotel empire. Paris Hilton became a household name after starring in the reality TV series "The Simple Life" alongside her then-best friend, Nicole Richie.

However, her fame reached a new level of notoriety in 2003 when a private sex tape of her and her former boyfriend, Rick Salomon, was leaked to the public. The tape, infamously known as "One Night in Paris" caused a media frenzy and further solidified her celebrity status. Despite the intrusion into her privacy, Paris Hilton managed to capitalize on the situation and turn it into a lucrative career in the entertainment and business world.

In 2007, another scandal emerged with the release of "Paris Exposed", a collection of private nude videos, photos and personal documents that were reportedly stolen from her storage unit. These unauthorized materials provided a glimpse into her private life, but Paris Hilton continued to maintain her presence in the public eye.
