Paris Hilton, OG Crypto Queen

Self-described as an entrepreneur, DJ, and OG crypto queen, Hilton is beefing up her Web3 presence. Hilton is an early adopter of Web3. She produced a line of digital wearables way back in 2015 with Animoca. She also instigated the building of Paris World in Roblox.

Hilton’s foray into the Sandbox lets fans experience all-things-Paris. Her community will be invited to events such as rooftop parties in her virtual Malibu mansion. Players will also be invited to a Halloween event. 

Hilton’s press team said, “In the Web3 space, she’s a longtime crypto enthusiast, a lover of digital art, an avid NFT collector, and a metaverse icon. Her integrated media and production company, 11:11 Media, is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise with verticals covering TV (Slivington Manor Entertainment), podcasts (London Audio), digital (11:11 Digital), licensing, NFTs, music, impact, and more.”

The Sandbox provides a creative space that allows anyone to let their imagination come to life, and Paris Hilton is building a glamorous fantasy land filled with virtual parties and diverse entertainment attractions from her universe.”
