Paris Hilton has worked hard. She has managed to use her connections and developed a huge wealth of her own. She has been written out of her families wealth, but she's fine on her own.

| Paris Hilton is not working harder than a person who must work more than one full time job, and yet can't get health insurance. That is an idiotic statement. She is paid more for her work, but that doesn't mean that she is actually working harder. And I believe in a luxury tax. The rich are the ones able to rest on their laurels and so since that is a luxury to you or me, they should be taxed higher for their luxury purchases. Otherwise, they are simply greedy. I guess we could come up with a greed tax. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| What? It is hateful to argue for the rights of the rich to hoarde their money while hard working, tax paying people can't afford to go to the doctor, or have to choose their bills over their health. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Paris Hilton, if I'm not mistaken, does not really earn her wealth by the exploitation of labor and the accumulation of unpaid labor. She mostly just sells herself and her own labor power (e.g. her attractiveness). The only thing I could think of is maybe the production and sale of her records, shows, and book; in which case she's probably just another laborer in the production of these products and the record/film/printing companies reap the profits. She might fall into the same category of people such as professional sports players and even artists, where although technically exploitation occurs, they're just very highly compensated for their labor/skills (and definitely overly compensated compared to the compensation of nearly all other skilled laborers as you point out). But her kind is definitely the exception and not the rule.
