Grandpa Hilton leaving most of his money to charity? I'm glad to see at least one of the Hiltons has a brain in his head.

[cartros]

Amen!

Just make sure you leave Paris $$$ enough to stay well equipped with video equipment.

Well one Hilton with some morals , didn't think there was such a thing . I'm sure Grandpa's left over 3% will keep the family in condoms and booze for quite a few years to come.

If one were to look at the details he would inevitably find that the money Hilton is said to have given is money on which he had never paid any tax and which is sheltering money on which he mistakenly did. You and I are giving the money for Hilton's "charity" because we did pay taxes.

This is the America ehich lets 40 million of its citizens live without health insurance.

Let's not forget her "VALTREX"

Good for him. I'm glad to see he isn't very happy with her hoochie lifestyle, and ruining the family name.

He is leaving this money so that his heirs benefit from the tax break he would get. He is not a billionaire for nothing. His girls will be just fine.

Isn't Valtex Hilton's 15 minutes up yet?

[I love paris]

i send part of my paycheck to this modern day angel. After I saw her work on that video I prayed one day she might do that for me

[g_skorich]

from most of these post's i can gather that most of you are either shut in's or locked up some where. paris hilton has made millions of dollars on her own for many years. her grandfather in fact took sued the catholic church many years ago when his father died. while you are sitting there doing absolutely nothing with your lives, do some research and remember when you wish harm on others, it comes back to you.

what?!? that is probably the highest proportion that has ever had health insurance. since when was it included in the Bill of Rights that the gov't provide health insurance? go get a job you lazy bum. Ins has always been a benefit offered by employers, now everyone assumes it's a god given right.

countries with govt provided insurance have very high tax rate to pay for it (of course) and end up with crappy care. ask most europeans, if they have any money they go to private doctors. the "free" ones are terrible and you wait forever to see one. the govt isn't efficient in running anything, it would be a disaster for it to provide healthcare.

To Tribune Editor:
I understand the Hilton family settled first near Fort Dodge, Iowa, on a farm when they first came here from Norway and had a name that largely cannot be pronounced. Am I right about that. Thanks

[Light Black]

YOU GO GRANDPA!!!!!

[John]

I am very impressed. This does not seem like a vanity charity but a charity that helps the truly impoverished or, in the case of the charity's support for Tostan, the oppressed and exploited.

[Parish Hildon]

Like, OMG, that is like so terrible.You think he could have spent it on an education for me? I still cant drive on the right side of the road sober,like OMG.
