The name ‘Paris Hilton’ has become a household name for liberal sexual culture in America.
In addition, she is also known for hopping frequently from one relationship to another, breaking several engagements in the process.

In numerous Paris Hilton stores spread all around the world, the Paris Hilton brand has been affixed to shoes, handbags and even watches.

She has also endorsed other major brands, most notably T-Mobile and Fila.

The show was immensely popular, and was picked up for more seasons.
