Paris Hilton to Teach Business to Budding Entrepreneurs?  7/2/07

Paris Hilton is reportedly set to pass on her business tips to budding entrepreneurs, after an educational institute offered her $1 million for the privilege.

The Simple Life star - who was released from a California jail on Tuesday (26Jun07) after serving 23-days behind bars for violating her probation - has set up several business ventures of her own under the names Paris Hilton Enterprises, Paris Hilton Entertainment, and Heiress Records.

Some of her deals include designing a collection of purses for Japanese fashion label Samantha Thavasa and releasing her own-branded perfume with Parlux Fragrances for both men and women.

But Hilton could soon add teaching to her growing list of accomplishments, if adult educational school The Learning Annex in New York has its way.

The institute's president Bill Zanker tells the New York Post, "We just sent over the offer to her this morning, and I think there's a good chance she'd do it. She's a brilliant entrepreneur. I believe she can offer her knowledge and give back to other entrepreneurs. She's obviously brilliant, and my students would love her.

"She's a businessman who has made this persona. We have a lot of people in small business, and where they need the most help is getting branded. Who is better at branding than Paris Hilton?"
