How would you like to be cut out of this Will?
Paris Hilton's grandfather is to donate 97% of his $2.3 billion (£1.2 billion) fortune to charity.

Barron Hilton, whose father Conrad started the hotel chain in 1919, has recently sold Hilton Hotels Corp as well as the largest casino company in the world, Harrah's Entertainment Inc, which will be finalised early next year.

The sales from both companies will bring Barron's fortune up to around $4.5 billion (£2.25 billion), which will be put in a charitable trust to benefit the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

In a statement the foundation, which helps provide clean water in Africa, education for blind children, and housing for the mentally ill, revealed that Barron wants "to contribute 97% of his entire net worth, estimated today at $2.3 billion, including the created trusts, at whatever value it is at the time of his passing".

The £3% that was left would do me nicely.....

I read that his main motivation was the embarrassment he felt at the behaviour of his granddaughter.
