Скачать или смотреть How Playing DUMB Helped Paris Hilton Build a BILLION Dollar Empire

Heiress, icon, mogul, mom—and the original influencer.

In this episode of The Burnouts, Paris Hilton gets real with Phoebe and Sophia about turning a catchphrase into a global brand, the pain behind her activism, and why being underestimated was her greatest advantage.

She opens up about creating the “dumb blonde” persona as a form of power, testifying before Congress as a survivor, and why she believes angel numbers (and small-town nerds) are the secret to everything. Plus: what it’s like running 30 businesses, parenting with purpose, and building 11:11 Media to bring it all together.

This isn’t the Paris Hilton you think you know.

Also: DJ paychecks, ADHD superpowers, and how to spot a fragile man.
