paris hiltonParis Hilton has said she hates it when people think she doesn’t work - because she’s actually working all the time.

The heiress, who made her name as a socialite on the Los Angeles scene (before starring in a sex tape and numerous reality TV shows), explained recently that it’s the worst misconception about her: “I work all the time, so I laugh when I hear people say that.

“I am literally running a huge corporation. I have my clothing lines, my champagne, my watches, shoes and purses and dog clothes - every sort of product you can imagine.

“I am doing movies. I am doing my record right now [and] producing, starring in a TV show. So it is a 24 hour, seven day-a-week job.”

And she added that she’ll probably be just as busy in 20 years time: “I’ll probably be a mom with a couple of kids.

“I’d love to have a big family [but I’ll still be] running my business. [Maybe] not traveling so much. I’ll be in a lot of real estate businesses and hotels then. I’ll be running my business from home.”
