My Take
I think Paris Hilton is one of the most misread figures in modern celebrity. The tabloids handed her Razzies and ridicule, but look closer and you find a businesswoman who understood personal branding a full decade before social media made it a profession. Born into the Hilton name, she could have coasted; instead she built fragrances, ventures, and a self-aware persona that turned mockery into revenue. The proclaimed It Girl of 2001 essentially wrote the playbook every influencer now follows. I respect anyone who outlasts the joke made at their expense — and she has, decisively.
Overview

She first attracted tabloid attention in the late 1990s for her presence in New York City's social scene, ventured into fashion modeling in 2000, and was proclaimed "New York's leading It Girl" in 2001.
