Paris Hilton claims she started the trend of "getting paid to party"

As an eye candy, Hilton's first job was to attend parties and now the heriess' former job is nothing less than a trend.
PUBLISHED NOV 24, 2018

The Hilton heiress is known to be the Party Queen, and it is not odd when she confesses that it was, once upon a time, her job to be at parties. The socialite was recently in the news when she called off her wedding with Chris Zylka, who had apparently gifted Paris with a $2.2 million ring. She is once again making headlines with her confessions about her previous job, where she would be invited at parties to pose as an eye-candy. 

While promoting her new fragrance, Platinum Rush, Hilton spoke to Weekend Today, where she mentioned that she was the first celebrity who pioneered the concept of getting paid to party. She said, "That was a business I started in. I was the first person to ever get paid to party and it was a very lucrative business and I've turned it into a worldwide empire."
