Holy crap. The current head of the HIlton fortune has decided not to will the money to down the family line, but give it to the charity they established.

By Michelle NicholsNEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. hotel heiress Paris Hilton’s potential inheritance dramatically diminished after her grandfather Barron Hilton announced plans on Wednesday to donate 97 percent of his $2.3 billion (1.16 billion pounds) fortune to charity.
The article implies that Barron Hilton’s just flat out embarrassed by his grand-daughter’s behavior.
Wow. That man’s hardcore. Good on him.

You better make sure the old man doesn’t have another granddaughter named Charity!

rofl. The original article names the charity that it’s going to — it’s an actual organization, heh.
When I first read this, I thought she was going to (hopefully) disappear, but she’s already got clothing lines, perfume lines…. all kinds of endorsements… she’s going to be rich in her own right, based solely on her fame garnered from being a socialite.
Good on her, I say. At least she’s not as vapid as I first suspected.

Socialite? Weren’t you the one who recommended her porn tape to me years ago? Rich or poor, she is still a stank.
