2. Paris Hilton (Net Worth: $100 Million)

Although she made it on the New York social scene as heiress of the legendary Hilton Hotels family, Paris Hilton global fame began when a sex tape was released conveniently before the debut of The Simple Life, her reality show with BFF Nicole Richie. Despite all the negative press over the years she’s still laughing her way to the bank. Many believe Kim Kardashian her ex-best friend stole her spotlight as but she believe in what she does.

Some might think her wealth comes from her famous family name but that is far from the truth. Her business empire which include fashion line of bags, sunglasses, perfumes and shoes with several stores around the world have helped push her net worth to $100 million. In 2012, Hilton told FHM that her fragrances alone made her over $1.3 billion in revenue since 2005.
