Like everything she owns, Paris Hilton’s houses are over the top. Whether you were aware of her in the early aughts or if you’ve simply bared witness to the Y2K revival in recent years, odds are you’re familiar with Paris’s glamorous, maximalist style. The jet-setting Hilton hotel heiress was an influencer before the world of influencing even existed.
Paris is the great granddaughter of famed hotelier Conrad Hilton, who founded the Hilton Hotel chain, now valued at $62.38 billion, in 1946. The heiress grew up in the spotlight, living between mansions in Los Angeles and hotel suites in New York. After gaining fame on the Manhattan social scene, Paris has remained a constant in the public eye. She’s most known for her role in the iconic reality television series The Simple Life, on which she starred alongside her friend Nicole Richie. A three-part reunion special called Paris & Nicole: The Encore premieres on Peacock on December 12.
Today, Paris wears many hats. She’s a wife to entrepreneur Carter Reum, a mother of two, a businesswoman, an activist, a DJ, an investor, a recording artist, a philanthropist, a host, an actor, a chef, a model, and an author, to name a few. Below, we share a look at the extravagant homes the multihyphenate has lived in over the years.
Childhood home
The Stars Are Blind singer, along with her siblings Nicky, Barron II, and Conrad, and parents Rick and Kathy Hilton, spent her early days in Bel-Air, an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles. The Hilton family home was just as stately as one would imagine. The 7,300-square-foot estate was built in 1930 and situated on half an acre. The family owned the abode from 1980 into the early 1990s. From the outside, the home was timeless and traditional with a two-story portico, slender columns, black shutters, and a large brick chimney.
Inside, the home was both inviting and spacious with five bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a wine room, and a balcony off the primary suite offering views of Century City. Outside was a saline swimming pool, a spa, and a pool house with a home gym. The family sold the property in 1993, and it went back on the market in 2016 for $7.25 million. The Hiltons would later live at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City.
Hilton family estate
The primary residence of Paris’s grandfather Barron had a palatial feel worthy of a storybook. And though Paris never technically lived there, this home is a huge part of the Hilton family legacy and her personal story as well. Nestled beyond wrought-iron gates, the white brick, English Georgian-style estate sat on 2.5-acres in the heart of Holmby Hills. The 15,000 square foot home was designed by trailblazing American architect Paul R. Williams who also built homes for Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball. Williams originally designed the residence for businessman Jacob Jay Paley and completed the build in 1936.
Barron purchased the property following Paley’s death for the equivalent of $4 million today. Inside the home were trademark Williams staples such as a circular breakfast room. Other details of the palatial estate included floor to ceiling paneled windows, 13 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, an executive office, an Olympic-size swimming pool with french tile, and most importantly, the pool house which was designed by Williams. The property was featured in AD in 1938 and again in 1968.
The Hilton Estate was known for throwing legendary parties with upwards of 1,000 guests, family Thanksgiving dinners, but more recently, the home was the site of Paris’s iconic Grandma Hilton’s House photoshoot with Vanity Fair in 2000. The photos were taken when the heiress was 19 and navigating the trauma from her experiences at Provo Canyon School. “Maybe inside my mind I was thinking like, what I was doing in the picture was like a big f— you,” Paris said in her documentary, This Is Paris. “I think all my anger just went into my drive for success. It made me strong.”
The home was listed in 2020 by Hilton & Hyland, the real estate brokerage founded by the actor’s father Rick Hilton and his business partner, Jeff Hyland. “We got some decent mileage, and it’s time to find a new family for this incredible home,” Barron II said in an interview with Forbes. The brokerage listed the home in 2020 for $75 million. The Hilton Estate officially sold in 2021 for $61.5 million, making it one of the most expensive homes to trade hands in the history of California real estate, according to Forbes Global Properties.
Hollywood Hills hideaway
Throughout the 2000s, Paris lived in a Spanish-style mansion overlooking Sunset Boulevard. It’s where the actor lived while filming five seasons of The Simple Life. The 3,000-square-foot home was built in 1926 and featured four bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus glamorous amenities including multiple poolside cabanas, a bedroom with wall-to-wall mirrors, and a movie theater. The socialite listed the home for $4.8 million, fully furnished. After a 10-day bidding war, the property officially sold in 2007 for $5 million.
Slivington manor
It isn’t clear exactly when Paris moved into her next pad, but in 2020, she shared a before and after video of the renovation of the home she dubbed Slivington Manor on YouTube. (Sliving, a combination of slaying and living, is a phrase she coined in 2019.) The actor had lived in the home for some time previous to the renovation, and is seen walking through the bare-bones home sharing stories about each room before the gut job began. The now empty rooms once held sprawling shoe closets, as well as Club Paris, the actor’s personal at-home nightclub. But one thing remained—the two-story doggie mansion for her collection of pocket-sized puppies. The video fast-forwards to months later, when the home is starting to come together. Inside, the heiress shows almost-finished rooms covered in Beverly Hills Hotel–inspired wallpaper, a walk-in marble shower, and multiple walk-in closets. In comparison to the previous design aesthetic of her home, it’s clear that Paris was eager to take a more refined, timeless approach to the property.

In 2023, the heiress and her family moved into a 14,000 square-foot mansion in Beverly Park, a highly sought-after gated community in Beverly Hills—but not permanently. Paris opted for a short-term lease with a monthly rent of $160,000, according to Business Insider. The Tuscan-style villa is grandiose in every sense of the word. Guests are greeted by a circular driveway with a fountain at the center. The exterior features Mediterranean-inspired details, including terra-cotta roof tiles, Roman pillars, and multiple balconies with intricate iron railings.
The interior features seven bedrooms, 11 baths, and a two-story foyer for the grandest of entrances. Other amenities of the home include a sprawling outdoor patio with a pool and dual spas, a fully equipped kitchen with staff facilities, a master bedroom with dual bathrooms, an entertainment wing, and a tennis court. The house even has a sliving spa, as Paris likes to call it, that houses cryotherapy, facial equipment, and a red light therapy bed.
On an episode of the podcast I Am Paris, she and Reum spoke openly about their new dream home. The two agreed they needed more space after the birth of their first child and subsequently moved into the Beverly Park mansion in February 2023. “This house, though, is amazing. I feel like we literally just never need to leave. We have each other, we have baby P,” Reum said on the podcast in reference to their son Phoenix. ”We go to the wellness center and do treatments. We just get to hang out. It’s like an amusement park. There's so many different activities to do.” In the same podcast, Paris shared a few more details about the endless amenities the home offers. “I love having my podcasting studio, recording studio, photo album studio, like everything, the 11:11 office.” (11:11 is Paris’s media company.) It is unclear whether or not the family will continue to rent the home or if they have plans to purchase it.
