91-year-old Barron Hilton, owner of Hilton hotel chain, dies
The death was due to natural causes.
Barron Hilton, owner of the largest Hilton hotel chain, died at his home in Los Angeles. He was 91 years old. This was reported by his granddaughter, socialite Paris Hilton, on her Twitter.
"I am deeply saddened by the loss of my grandfather Barron Hilton. He was a legend, a visionary, brilliant, handsome, kind, and lived a life full of achievements and adventures," — Paris wrote.
He was born in Dallas on October 23, 1927. In 1937, he moved with his father, Conrad N. Hilton, to Los Angeles and began his career in the hotel business as a teenager, parking guests' cars at the hotel.
Later, Hilton joined the navy. In 1966, he succeeded his father as chairman of the board of the hotel business. In addition, Barron founded the Los Angeles Chargers football club.
He disinherited his granddaughter Paris in 2007 due to numerous scandals involving her. His entire fortune will go to the charitable organization Conrad Hilton Foundation.
