The Hilton family has had its fair share of controversies over the years. But I reckon that’s a given for a family as wealthy and influential as them. Conrad Hughes Hilton, the not-so-well-known younger brother of Paris Hilton, is no exception. While he mostly lived under the radar, as heir to the multi-billion empire, Conrad has made a few stirs with his infrequent run-ins with the law. Let me tell you all about Conrad Hughes Hilton, his story, career, controversies, and the latest updates of his life.
Family and Early Life

Conrad Hughes Hilton was born on March 3, 1994. He was the youngest baby brother of Paris, Nicky, and Barron Hilton, and grew up in New York alongside his family. The socialite siblings are the great-grandchildren of Conrad N. Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels. Their father, Richard Howard Hilton, is a successful businessman, while their mother, Kathy Hilton, was a former model and fashion designer.

When he was a teen, Conrad was often seen with his family during events. In 2008, he was with Paris to support the latter for her film The Hottie & The Nottie. As an heir to a multi-billion dollar company, I think we can safely assume Conrad’s childhood to be comfortable and easy. Yet, his adult life has proven to be anything but smooth sailing.
Career History
Protective of his lifestyle, Conrad kept a tight lid on any information about his education and career. Even his hobbies, interests, and relationship status remain a mystery. Unlike his oldest sister, Paris Hilton, who made a name for herself as a media personality and entrepreneur, Conrad has yet to show interest in a long-term profession.

Legal Issues and Controversies
Conrad Hughes Hilton had several brushes with the authorities, often receiving backlash for his problematic behavior—both from his family and the public.
Assaulting Flight Passengers
In 2015, Conrad pleaded guilty to the assault charges pressed by the passengers and flight attendants he allegedly verbally threatened. According to police reports, he shouted profanities at the crew and passengers on an international flight from London to Los Angeles. “I will own anyone on this flight; they are peasants,” Conrad said, according to the witnesses. Apart from insults, he screamed, “I am going to f—— kill you!” Due to his behavior, Conrad, who was 21, was sentenced to a few month’s probation. His legal woes are far from over, though.

In July 2017, Conrad Hilton was apprehended for stealing a Bentley and violating a court restraining order by his ex-girlfriend, Hunter Daily Salomon. Police authorities said that Conrad, 23, tried to break into his former girlfriend’s house, a deed he was previously arrested a month before. Conrad was released after paying a bail sum of $60,000. He was later sentenced to three years of formal probation and forced to continue drug rehabilitation.
Final Thoughts
Although his past is marred with controversies, the Hilton family has shown incredible patience and support to Conrad. Now healing from his drug addiction, his story is a testament to the value of a loving family in times of personal struggles.
