Before the Kardashian-Jenner family rose to fame, there was another famous family that America became obsessed with. The Hilton family has been around for many generations, due to the infamous hotel chain that can be seen in almost every state in America. The prestigious franchise was founded in 1919 by American hotelier, Conrad Nicholson Hilton. Since his death in 1979, the Hilton family has worked very hard to keep Conrad’s legacy alive, however, it was Hilton’s great-granddaughter, Paris Hilton, that brought more media attention to one of America’s most elite family.
