Paris Hilton says she ‘inspired’ Kim Kardashian to become who she is today

Paris and Kim.

In a new interview with Yahoo Style, Paris Hilton is opening up about former bestie Kim K. Believe it or not, Paris used to be the big cheese while her stylist/assistant/friend Kim Kardashian was barely known outside of Hollywood. Over the years though, Paris’s fame began to fade away while Kim became the superstar she is today.

Despite the role reversal, many have claimed that Paris paved the way for Kim to become her own brand. When questioned on her contribution to Kim’s success, Paris avoided taking all the credit and simply said:

We’ve known each other since we were little girls. We’ve always been friends. It’s nice to inspire people. So yeah, I’m really proud of her and what she’s done.

Paris went on to reveal that her and Kim still keep in touch and saw each other recently in New York. The heiress said that Kim and Kanye are “so cute together” and “are the perfect couple.”

While it may seem like Paris Hilton has dropped off the face of the earth, it appears as though the 34-year-old socialite is simply enjoying the fruits of her labor. Over the last 10 years, her fragrance line alone as raked in over $2 billion (with a B) dollars! Paris claims that she doesn’t just lend her name to her various products but rather she’s “involved ever step of the way.”
