Paris Hilton's grandfather and hotel magnate Barron Hilton has announced he will leave 97 per cent of his fortune to charity, which amounts to $2.3 billion. The Hilton hotel chain consists of more than 500 hotels around the world.Family patriarch Barron Hilton is believed to be embarrassed and upset by his granddaughter's wild behaviour - notably when a compromising video of Paris Hilton was leaked on the Internet and by her 23-day prison sentence last month.
The money will go to the Conrad N Hilton Foundation, the charity set up in the name of the founder of the family business.
