PARIS Hilton’s dream of building her own business empire seems to be taking shape with thousands of fans turning out for the launch of her new perfume in Germany.
The wannabe business mogul was reportedly mobbed as she attended a store in Hamburg to peddle her little Paris in a bottle.
The star of TV’s Simple Life was forced to take refuge in an elevator as enthusiastic Germans broke through a security cordon and rushed toward her, the DPA news wire reported.
Bodyguards whisked Hilton away from the mob to safety and the rear of the store - where she had been due to sign autographs and pose for photographs.
The hotel heiress has recently expressed a desire to break from the shackles of her family dynasty and make some serious cash of her own.
Citing Donald Trump and P.Diddy as role models, she said she was through with her partying days and ready to settle down.
“Now I’m trying to build an empire I don’t want to be this Hilton hotel girl all my whole life I want to make my own name,” she said.
If the enthusiasm of the German fans is anything to go by, she may not have long to wait.
