In 2007, CNN reported that Barron Hilton will pass on the $1.2 billion windfall from the sale of Hilton Hotels Corp. -- - not to his famous progeny, but to his family's philanthropic foundation. His family said he committed 97% of his wealth to the foundation's humanitarian work.

He was born in Dallas on October 23, 1927. He moved with his father, Conrad N. Hilton, to Los Angeles in 1937 and started off his hospitality career as a teen by parking cars for hotel guests.

他于1927年10月23日出生于達(dá)拉斯，1937年隨父親康拉德·N·希爾頓搬到洛杉磯。十多歲時(shí)就為酒店客人停車，開始了他的酒店生涯。
