Nicky Hilton
Entrepreneur, b. 1983
The press called us “the modern-day Eloises.” I remember going up in the elevator of the Waldorf with Bill Clinton and other presidents. Walking down Madison and seeing all the schoolgirls and smelling that fresh-laundry smell that you only smell on the Upper East Side still gets me very nostalgic.

Paris Hilton
Television personality, b. 1981
My mom and Michael Jackson had been best friends since they were like 13. I grew up around Michael, and anytime he’d have a music video or a concert, he would always invite my family. I literally went to every single video he did.
