I purport that Paris Hilton is not the dumb blond that she has branded herself to be, but is in fact an inspiring entrepreneur.
I pose this simple question: "Is Paris Hilton just a dumb blond, or and Inspiring Entrepreneur?"
I probably know about a thousand people in their 20's that would look a lot worse if they had their lives spread across television. Why on earth do people hate on the rich? Everyone has heard people say things like, "...Well, of course THEY are successful, THEY were born with a silver spoon in THEIR mouth..." Blah, Blah, Blah, Excuse, Excuse, Excuse.
Let's talk for a minute about philosophy.
We all need to face a basic truth: Rich people teach their kids different things than poor people do. Take for instance Robert Kyosaki, the author of the famous "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series. If you have read his books(something that I believe most people should do), you will clearly see that wealthy people educate their children to see opportunities in any circumstance, whereas the masses teach one how to "Get good grades to get a good Job."
Let's take a quick business lesson from Paris Hilton, a household name that many people deem as a Complete idiot.
Paris Hilton was propelled into the spotlight when her ex-boyfriend took a private sex tape they had filmed, and made it public.
Here is something that many people do not know: When Paris's sex tape went public, rather than suing her ex-boyfriend for releasing the tape, she took her portion of the proceeds and donated them to charity, in an attempt to make good out of a bad situation.
People have the idea that Paris is rich because she had a silver spoon in her mouth since the time she was born. I propose that she is rich because she was fed silver spoon philosophies from the time she was a child.
97% of the Hilton fortune was left to charity when Baron Hilton Passed; Paris and her siblings did inherit a small fortune, but nothing compared to the billion dollar estate, and nothing compared to the millions she has amassed on here own.
Paris Hilton has had her own television show, launched her own clothing line, has clothing lines for dogs, jewelry, perfume, and a multitude of other business ventures in her name. Paris Hilton is a Branding Genius, and has used her controversial image to make millions. She got paid $1 million just for flying to Austria, and waving at a crowd to tell them that she "Loved Austria." "But why do you love Austria?" she was asked. "Because they pay me $1 million to wave at a crowd," she replied.
If Paris never inherited a dime of the family fortune, she would be worth Millions of dollars on her own.
Paris took the bad publicity from her sex tape, and turned it into gold: it was just before the debut episode of her reality television show "The Simple Life." She basically used the Sex Tape for free advertising. If that happened to you, would you be crying about the violation of your privacy, or turning the catastrophe into an opportunity?
Paris was offered $1 million by The Learning Annex to teach a 60-minute class on "How to Build Your Brand." This would make her the second-highest paid Annex speaker, second only to Donald Trump.
A poverty mentality will lead people to complain about their unfortunate circumstances, whereas an abundance mentality will learn to see the opportunity regardless of the situation.
Paris Hilton portrays the image of the "Hot Dumb Party animal." Her actions indicate that she is a lot more complex than she appears. She is arguably one of the most brilliant, young business minds of our generation. I don't care whether or not you like her, but she figured out a way to party, have sex, act dumb, and get paid millions for it.
