Born in New York City and raised in southern California, Kathy Hilton is a socialite, businesswoman, and mother of four, including daughters Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton, and sons Barron and Conrad Hilton. She has been married to husband and real estate entrepreneur Rick Hilton for 28 years.

Kathy Hilton enjoys a lavish lifestyle, with beautiful homes in California and New York. In her frequent travels, she's always on the hunt for treasures that she can bring back for her family, her friends and her homes. In fact, one of her great passions was a unique gift store which she owned for 8 years in L.A. There she specialized in gorgeous and unusual gifts perfect for her upscale clientele.

Kathy also has a passion for fashion and beauty. Moving in glamorous social circles, she knows that smooth, radiant skin is just as important to the impression you make as a beautiful handbag, or the way you put yourself together. Now she brings her intimate knowledge and deep appreciation of the finer things in life to the creation of her own luxurious and accessible beauty collection, Kathy Hilton Beauty.

Kathy, who was very close to her late mother, shares a very close bond with her own daughters, and they enjoy spending time together. Like other families, they have their ups and downs, though theirs tend to get publicized. Through it all, Kathy has always been a caring mother and staunch supporter of her family. Both she and Rick make it a point to be there for their children, cheering them on at personal appearances, runway shows and other events in their lives, and always standing by them.

Kathy is also known as a warm and giving woman outside her family. She is extremely active in various community and charitable organizations on both coasts, and has been honored numerous times for her generosity and efforts on behalf of others.
