I'm assuming the Australian article is false, since (1) foreign press and (2) dubious source. It may even be the case that the inheritance goes to Barron's children, not his grandchildren.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read the following:
Socialite & Entrepreneur Paris Hilton has boasted that she earns at least $200 million a year.Hilton has claimed that she rakes in the enormous sum from a variety of different business ventures, including her own hotel chain, perfume range and personalized merchandise, and by charging whopping fees for personal appearances.
She said: “I’ve made $200 million in the last year, while Jennifer Lopez made $150 million.
“I’m developing my own hotels, casinos and clubs and getting into real estate. It’s crazy at such a young age. I’m doing so much.”
Paris’ inheritance from her family and the Hilton hotel chain is worth around $50 million, while she earns $16 million a year for her role in the US Reality TV show ‘The Simple Life’, in which she stars with friend Nicole Richie.
The 26-year-old socialite’s perfume and jewelery collection brought in $2 million each last year, while she collected $20 million for personal appearances.Paris can charge upwards of $100,000 a time just for showing up at her favorite haunts and is once believed to have been paid almost $1.5 million to wave to a crowd in Australia for 20 minutes.
Paris’ book, ‘Confessions of an Heiress’, and debut pop album, ‘Paris’, further boosted her earnings, as did a stuffed version of her pet dog ‘Tinkerbell’ and advertisements for Dream Catcher hair extensions.
She even pockets money from the slogan “That’s Hot!” after trademarking her favorite exclamation.
Paris also collects an estimated $4 million a year from the infamous sex tape, ‘One Night In Paris’, she made with ex-lover Rick Salomon.The blond dropped a lawsuit against him in return for half of the profits made from sales.
If that's so, this is nothing but embarassing. And remember, we've seen her give head.

How does that come close to $200 million a year?!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah, I'm only coming up with about $90 million.

I'd bet the development money is largely on paper. And that her investors might not be so happy with the jail time either.
And for four million a year I'd give head to Rick Salomon too.

From looking at that list my eyes hurt. $16m, really? For the reality show? Who's paying her to use "That's hot!"?

Yeah, the trademarking stuff is totally false. No one pays to use a trademark.
Another story about her inheritance. Same source as the Australia story, but casts doubt on his latest reveal: [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Outlook's spell checker (or at least our version of it) doesn't like "teleporter" but tries to replace it with "teleported".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
