Recently, Paris get high pay Larry King interview and release a new album once out of jail. The reason behind is the party princess Paris Hilton is $60 million out of pocket after her billionaire grandfather - appalled by her jail term for drink-driving offences - axed her inheritance.
Family patriarch Barron Hilton was already embarrassed by his granddaughter's wild behaviour - notably when her home sex video was leaked on the internet.
But the 79-year-old considered her 23-day sentence last month the last straw.
"He was, and is, extremely embarrassed by how the Hilton name has been sullied by Paris," says Jerry Oppenheimer, who wrote a biography of the clan called House Of Hilton.
"He now doesn't want to leave unearned wealth to his family."
Hilton senior, the only member of the family left with a sizeable stake in the huge hotel chain, has let it be known that he intends to donate to charity the $2.4bn he will gain from this month's sale of the company to private equity firm Blackstone.
The money will go to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the charity set up in the name of the founder of the family business

Paris Hilton and Larry King Interview Summary
Paris Hilton post-jailed interview told CNN's Larry King on Wednesday that she has never used drugs, isn't a big drinker, and although she feels her incarceration was unwarranted, God had a reason for putting her there. "Yeah, God want you to earn $1 million for your interview"
"Don't serve the time; let the time serve you," Hilton said. "I have a new outlook on life."
"So when you go back in and you walk back into that cell again, how did you feel that first night?" King asked her.
"I was obviously very upset. I was just talking to myself saying, 'Paris be strong. You can do this,'" she explained. "Of course I be strong, think of the million dollar when I'm out"
King also asked what she expected when she was ordered to return to court the second time and the celebutante admitted she was not prepared to be sent back to jail.
"Do you think the judge was unkind?" he asked.
"It wasn't for a DUI. It was for a suspended license. I was walking in there assuming I was just going to get community service. That's what my lawyer said at the time," she revealed.
King asked Paris about the night she turned herself in and how she chose to spend her last few hours of freedom.
"They see you at the MTV Awards walking the red carpet. Doesn't that look like a contradiction?" he asked.
"Actually, I was playing a trick on everyone," she contends. "I thought if I went to the MTV Awards and snuck out during the show, I could get [to the jail] unnoticed."
And while some questioned her public appearance the night before her incarceration, eyebrows are also being raised by her rush to get back in front of the cameras.
"Why do any interview?" King asked.
"I just want to let people know what I went through," she said. "I've been through a lot and it was a pretty traumatic experience, something I really... I've grown from and when I heard you asked me to be on the show I was excited."
"What have the last two days been like?" King followed.
"It's been pretty overwhelming. I've been confined for three-and-a-half weeks in a little cell, so it's just overwhelming just to be out and be free again," Paris added. "Free again and drive to drink'
As she was released just minutes after midnight, hordes of news crews and paparazzi were there to capture every step of her walk to freedom, which was capped off by a happy hop as she greeted her mother Kathy in an awaiting car.
So what was going through her mind during those first few moments of being out of jail?
"It was one of the happiest days of my life. Like, it's hard to even describe. It was so exciting even being in the fresh air and looking up at the sky and the stars and being outside and then it was just pandemonium and as soon as I saw my mom I just ran to her to give her a hug," Paris said. "That was really exciting for me."
But perhaps her time served wasn't all bad, as she told King it was a relief not to have to worry about being hounded by the paparazzi.
"It was nice to be away from the flashes for awhile," she smiled, adding she was treated professionally by the guards.
"I was treated like every other inmate no better, no worse," she said.
However one thing she can't speak well of was the food.
"The food was horrible. It was jail food, it's not supposed to be good," she said. "Lunch was basically a baloney sandwich. They call it mystery meat. It's pretty scary. Two pieces of bread and some mayonnaise."
And although her fellow inmates were nice to her, Hilton said, she sometimes had nightmares in which she feared someone would break into her cell and hurt her.
Paris dismissed reports of drastic weight loss while serving her sentence.
"I only lost a couple pounds," she noted.
King also asked Paris about her initial release when authorities allowed her to go due to a mystery illness. So what was it?
"I've suffered from claustrophobia my entire life and when I first got into that cell I was having severe panic attacks and anxiety attacks. I wasn't sleeping. I wasn't eating. The doctors talked to the Sheriff and he could see it would just be better if I did it on house arrest," she explained. "She thought it would be better for everyone for me just to be at home."
And of course, the question on everyone's mind did time behind bars actually change her?
"Yeah, definitely. I have a new outlook on life," she claimed. "After being there awhile, I had to accept I could either make the best of it or make the worst of it, so I just went with the motto, 'Don't serve the time, let the time serve you.'"
Following his interview with Paris, King spoke with fellow CNN anchor Paula Zahn to share his thoughts on the interview and Paris' outlook on everything that's happened.
"It's kind of a double-edged sword," King said. "There's kind of a denial over having done anything wrong. She thinks she got a raw deal. On the other hand, she said she used jail for her benefit. All we can do is interview her and then let the audience make a judgment."
King also shared some of the ways Paris said she plans to change her life.
"She said she's going to get involved in charity work, she's going to go forward with her businesses, doing two movies this summer, be less involved in parties and change the scope of the way she looks at life," King told Zahn. "I think we shall see what we shall see."
During her 23 days in jail, she said she meditated, read letters from fans, talked to other inmates through the vents, wrote in her journal and read the Bible, though she couldn't cite a favorite passage when asked. It was also nice to have a little privacy, she said, and to "be away from all the flashes for a while."
