As CEO of 11:11 Media, there isn’t a part of the entertainment business where Paris Hilton hasn’t shined. Hilton has masterfully harnessed her self-made spotlight to architect a thriving entertainment and consumer products empire under her company 11:11 Media, which spans an impressive range of businesses and verticals including TV, film, audio, music, publishing, licensing, consumer products, brand partnerships and more.

In her latest chapter, and through 11:11 Media’s new music division, Hilton made a triumphant return to the recording studio with her second album, INFINITE ICON, released September 6, 2024. INFINITE ICON debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Current Pop Album Sales chart. The album was executively produced by Sia, and had chart-topping featured artists, such as Meghan Trainor, Megan Thee Stallion, and Sia herself.

Hilton released “Paris: The Memoir,” on March 14, 2023, where it debuted on the New York Times bestseller list. In October 2023, A24, in collaboration with Dakota and Elle Fanning’s Lewellen Pictures and David Bernad’s Middle Child Pictures, officially bought the rights to Hilton’s memoir for a TV series adaptation. Season 2 of “Paris In Love,” Hilton’s reality series, showcased her life as a wife and her transition into motherhood and in December 2024, Hilton reunited with Nicole Richie for “Paris & Nicole: The Encore,” which premiered on Peacock.

Since 2004, Hilton has released 29 fragrances, with her products overall grossing more than $4 billion in retail sales. Her 30th fragrance “Iconic” is set to debut in the spring of 2025. In addition, 11:11 Media and Guthy-Renker announced a joint venture to form 11:11 Beauty, a new company that will house beauty and wellness products inspired by and creative-directed by Hilton to be released in Spring 2025.

Hilton is indisputably one of the most successful self-made entrepreneurs, including building one of the fastest-growing women-led entertainment and consumer products media companies that spans an astonishing breadth of verticals. But what makes her an icon is her willingness to experiment with and support emerging technology, carve a pathway for equality in new spaces, and demand change to broken systems. Through her nonprofit, 11:11 Media Impact, Hilton has been a driving force in legislative reform, successfully passing 10 state laws that have improved protections for over 15 million children. She spearheaded the passage of the federal Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act and has testified before Congress to advocate for stronger child welfare policies. With 185 billion earned media impressions amplifying her advocacy, Hilton transforms awareness into measurable, lasting change—proving that influence, when used with purpose, can shape a better future.

Hilton owns her deserved place as the ultimate multi-hyphenate savvy businesswoman, inspiring leader, social justice activist, creative innovator, and timeless pop culture icon.
