Nicky Hilton tops annual list of highest-paid heirs
In 2022 it looked like the heir’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (February 9) that Hilton is the highest-paid heir in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over her closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The American heir has an estimated net worth of $215 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Hilton Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhilton - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nicky) and a fashion line called “Nicky Hilton Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Nicky fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
