Title: Paris Hilton Loses Out!!
Post by: SIG220 on December 28, 2007, 10:59:51 PM: Poor Paris Hilton. Her Billionaire Grandfather, Barron Hilton, has now decided to leave 97% of his vast $2.3 Billion dollar fortune to charities, instead of his family.

There are reports circulating that Paris's Grandfather is extremely embarrassed by the wild behavior of his granddaughter. He even believes that she has seriously tarnished the family's name.

So to make up for all of that, all of this huge fortune will now go into a trust to support charities helping to alleviate the suffering of needy people for many years to come. He is hoping that this legacy of compassion and generosity will outlive that of his granddaughter. Although, really, I do not know what Paris Hilton stands for. Do you know?

Anyway, tell me: Do you feel sorry for poor Paris? This decision has probably cost her a couple hundred million of dollars.

Here is the news story:

Aren't charity donations tax deductible? I say a good lump of that cash is coming back to them anyways.

Looks like guilt might be a small part of his decision to donate the funds, again, to charity.

It had to be the most talented thing she ever did, and even then it wasn't that great.

Tax deductions are for the living. If you are leaving your fortune to a charity you are NOT taking a tax deduction as you are no longer there to file the tax forms. Once the fortune is left to relatives THEY can donate some of it as a tax deductions as they are still alive.

Hey, she has two new movies already in the can that will be coming out shortly in 2008, where she has leading roles. Don't you think that she has a chance at being a real legitimate movie star??

The Hottie and the Nottie will come out soon ( Paris plays the Hottie ), and that will be followed by Repo! The Genetic Opera! It is unclear if she will be playing some kind of genetic mutation in this movie.

Really, is there anyone else quite like Paris???

Lets not forget enheritance tax on that!

Though if Hillary gets elected she will probably let her work it off as an intern.

Noty as an intern for Bill though.
An intern for Hillary

:D

Post by: Rolex on December 29, 2007, 07:31:12 PM: Uh, that's $69 million, not $34 million. Barron has 8 children, one is Rick (Paris' father) who is already worth about $300 million. Paris reportedly "earned" (I use the term loosely) $6.5 million last year from whatever it is she does, so I don't think she'll be filling in an application to work at Walmart anytime soon.
