Paris Hiltons Houses: Heres Where the Heiress Has Lived, Including the Malibu Dwelling She Tragically Lost
The primary residence of Pariss 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 Paleys 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 Pariss iconic Grandma Hiltons 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 actors father Rick Hilton and his business partner, Jeff Hyland. We got some decent mileage, and its 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.Despite the fact that the home had been sold earlier in the year, Paris and her now-husband Reum held their wedding at the property in November of 2021. The ceremony was as lavish as any Hilton party of yesteryear, with over-the-top floral arrangements and musical performances from Kim Petras and Demi Lovato.Hollywood Hills hideawayThroughout the 2000s, Paris lived in a Spanish-style mansion overlooking Sunset Boulevard. Its 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 manorIt isnt 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 actors personal at-home nightclub. But one thing remainedthe 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 Hotelinspired wallpaper, a walk-in marble shower, and multiple walk-in closets. In comparison to the previous design aesthetic of her home, its clear that Paris was eager to take a more refined, timeless approach to the property.Malibu beach houseFive months before Paris and Reum tied the knot, they purchased a three bedroom, three bathroom beachfront home in Malibu for $8.4 million. Contemporary in style, the 3,000-square-foot dwelling, built in 1955, featured floor-to-ceiling glass windows looking out on the Pacific Ocean and numerous balconies for taking in the view. Fans may recognize the homes all-white, airy kitchen from a humorous promotional video for the Netflix show Cooking With Paris, which aired for just one season in 2021. Perhaps the biggest draw of the home was its stairs leading from one of the decks directly onto the beach. After wildfires ripped through the area in early 2025, the residencealong with many neighboring structures and thousands of other homes throughout Los Angeleswas unfortunately burned to the ground. It remains to be seen if Paris plans to build a new house in its place.Tuscan Beverly Park mansionParis and Reum tied the knot in 2021 and share two children, Phoenix and London, both born in 2023.Photo: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic/Getty Images
