We all know Paris Hilton from tabloids and reality TV shows such as The Simple Life and Cooking With Paris but she's actually been a prolific startup investor for years and here are 5 of her recent investments!
1. ORIGYN
Just recently, Paris invested in ORIGYN which has a certification platform that helps NFT owners identify and authenticate their digital and physical items. She is not new to the crypto space and Fortune even named her the 7th most influential person in NFT.
2. Podz
She also made an investment to Podz which recently got acquired by Spotify. It auto-generates high-quality 60-sec highlights of podcasts and adds them to the user's personalized feed.
3. Good Catch
Alongside Woody Harrelson and Shailene Woodley, Paris also invested in Good Catch which is a plant-based seafood brand with products such as fish sticks, fish fillets, fish burgers, crab cakes, and a lot more.
4. Glam App
She also invested in the Glam App which is considered the "Uber" for beauty where you can book makeup, grooming, and beauty services on demand.
5. Genies
Alongside Camila Cabello and Priyanka Chopra, Paris also invested in Genies, a digital avatar company that is now also getting into the NFT space.
