Paris is worth millions already, and makes loads with her businesses. She earns a lot of money on her own. I give her credit for that. She won't be flipping burgers anytime soon.

Oh for sure it had nothing to do with Paris. Once again, the media loves to read their own interpretation of a story and then release it as fact. I still think its good that both the girls learn to earn their own dough. Everyone should be like that. I sure wouldn't want to go through life just spending family money and not feeling like I actually earned it. (I do think paying celebrities to party at your hotel or casino is an absolute joke, but she's earned money in other things).
Not sure about the States, but here in Canada the very rich do the same because of the incredible tax breaks. It not only helps out where needed, it helps the family of the deceased - they actually stand to get just as much or more money because of the tax laws.
