Biography |
Born into a life of luxury on October 5th, 1983, Nicholai
Olivia Hilton grew up in the rich Waldorf-Astoria with
parents Kathy and Rick, and sister Paris, who is two years
older. Both girls stand to inherit the hundreds of millions
of dollars made by great-grandfather Conrad Hilton, who
founded the famous Hilton hotels chain. His son, Conrad
"Nicky" Hilton, Jr., also handled the hotel business and was
the first of Elizabeth Taylor's many husbands.
Exposed to a frenzy of social activity thanks to her
class-conscious mother, she couldn't help but be sucked into
what New York's elite circle had to offer. Despite moving
around from homes in Manhattan, the Hamptons and Beverly
Hills, Nicky remained attached to the Big Apple. Like her
sister, with whom she is very close, she recognized the need
to establish a name for herself that would be separate from
the "hotel heiress" label.
While Paris was getting noticed for her modeling work and
high-profile relationships with Hollywood actors like Edward
Furlong, Nicky emerged in her own right. While keeping her
head in her schoolbooks, she began to frequent the types of
nightclubs and restaurants that are usually the focus of
gossip columns. The late-night outings became a habit and
soon the beautiful blonde duo of Paris and Nicky were in the
public eye.
The Hilton sisters elbowed their way into New York's inner
social circle and, for a while, Nicky got swept up in the
dizzying heights this popularity could bring. Magazines such
as FHM, Vanity Fair and Vogue noticed the clout the
heiresses had and featured photo shoots and interviews of
the girls. Socialite extraordinaire, Nicky ate up the
publicity and continued to attend big-time events in New
York City.
Nicky continued to mature into a woman and, with her
beautiful physique, many wondered whether she would try her
hand at modeling like Paris had done. Though she does not
get enough credit for it, Nicky always had a flair for the
business side of things and began studying design in the
hopes that her abilities would be fueled. Her goal was to
create accessories for the fashion industry, not simply
model in them.
Her natural good looks and marketable name were too much to
pass up for designer Anand Jon, and consequently, Nicky did
end up doing some modeling for him. Her big feat, however,
came when she was asked to design handbags for Tokyo-based
Samantha Thavasa. Nicky and sister Paris produced such great
results, that their handbags could be found in select stores
and won over celebrity fans like Britney Spears, Tara Reid
and Pamela Anderson.
Once romantically linked with MTV VJ Brian McFayden and male
models Mark Vanderloo and Marcus Schenkenberg, Nicky Hilton
still has a lot planned. Instead of sitting pretty with her
inheritance, she is continuing her work in fashion design
and still contributes to the Free Arts for Abused Children
Foundation. While her nightclub partying still grabs
headlines and makes for interesting water cooler gossip,
Nicky Hilton has proven that she is more than just a hot
heiress. Her future in the fashion industry is still bright
and whether she gets far or not, she'll always provide us
with entertaining stories thanks to her crazy New York
nightlife.
Perhaps her party days are over now that Nicky is Mrs.
Meister: she and New York businessman Todd Andrew Meister
got married on August 15, 2004, in an impromptu wedding
ceremony in Las Vegas. In October of 2004, the marriage was
annulled. |
