Nicholai Olivia Hilton is the second of the four children born to Richard Hilton and Kathy Richards. She was born on October 5, 1983 and will inherit a part of the Hilton Hotel chain along with about 6%-15% of her father's real estate fortune and investments. She is also an American model.

Her siblings are Paris Hilton, Barron Hilton and Conrad Hilton. Baron Hilton and Marilyn Hawley are her paternal grandparents and on her maternal side she is a niece of Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, two popular child stars of the 1970s, who had starred in the movie Escape to Witch Mountain and some TV shows such as Nanny and the Professor, Little House on the Prairie, and later, ER.

Nicky has always stayed in exclusive homes such as a suite in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, and the Hamptons. Nicky and her sister are currently staying in their father’s $3 million house in the Hollywood Hills so that they can have all the privacy that they desire and an easy access to LA clubs. Her parents also own a $10 million mansion in Bel Air and a $6.3 million estate in the Hamptons.

Nicky dropped out and decided against attending a university after attending high school at the Dwight School in New York. She finally earned a GED and then started modeling for fashion designers Catherine Malandrino and Marc Bouwer. She also modeled for Italian label Iceberg and had cameo roles in Zoolander (2001), The Cat in the Hat (2003) and Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004).

Nicky Hilton is famous for her jetset party-girl lifestyle and for being the heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune. She was named after her granduncle Nicholas Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Jr., the one-time husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor and the son of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton.

Nicky Hilton gained extreme publicity when her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon clandestinely released a video showing both of them having sex, on the Internet before The Simple Life appeared. This caused a major flutter and the people were scandalized by the video which was titled “1 Night in Paris” and released as a DVD on June 9, 2004 which Salomon hosted. Nicky Hilton sued Rick Salomon for making the tape public. She received US $400,000 along with a percentage of the profits when the suit was settled.

Nicky was offered a role in The Simple Life, a reality show in 2003 but she declined the offer. Her sister Paris, however, went through with it. The show had three successful seasons and a fourth season is in the offing in the summer of 2006 on the E! Network. Nicky’s ex-best friend Nicole Richie also starred in the show, which catapulted both Paris and Nicole’s careers upward.

On August 15, 2004 Nicky Hilton married 33 year-old Todd Andrew Meister in Las Vegas. Her sister Paris and friend Bijou Phillips attended the ceremony.

Nicky has become extremely famous in recent years, as she has been appearing in television, movies, commercials, and modeling. Her television and movie roles earned for her about US$ 2 million in 2003-2004, but in 2004-2005 she earned an extra $6.5 million from television, movies, modeling, and personal appearances. During this period, she has been ranked as one of the top 100 celebrities in the world by the Forbes Magazine.

Nicky along with Kimberley Stewart was chosen to be the face of Australian underwear line, Antz Pantz in 2005. Whereas Stewart is still continuing with the contract, Hilton has moved away after being replaced by Australian up-and-coming model Meagan Maitland.
