14 DAY TRIAL // Conrad Hilton III is the youngest brother of ever-popular heiress and socialite extraordinaire Paris Hilton. He’s 15 and has just gotten his learner’s permit, which means he can’t drive without an adult’s supervision yet, but that’s not to say he can’t travel in style, as The Sun informs.
Conrad and his father Richard were spotted the other night on what is believed to be the former’s first attempt at driving. Still, it was a glamorous event, as Richard Hilton let his son drive his Bentley, estimated at $200,000, a thing most parents would not even dream of considering, as a young man’s first car is usually close to a piece of scrap metal on wheels.
“While most learners have to make do with a humble runabout like a Toyota Yaris or Corsa there was no such slumming it for schoolboy Conrad. Hotel mogul dad Richard, 54, let him take the wheel of his $200,000 Bentley to cruise round Beverly Hills, where kids aged 15½ are allowed L-plates,” The Sun says. The British tab then goes on to say that the concentration obvious on Conrad’s face could be indication that he’ll make for a better driver than his sister Paris, who was even jailed for driving with a suspended license.
As it’s common knowledge by now, Paris and the law have often been at odds, with the star first being detained for driving without her lights on and then, weeks later, with her license suspended. Of course, it all started with the typical DUI, a mistake another Hilton offspring made again. Barron Hilton also has a driving under the influence arrest under his belt, dating from February 2008.
Following the violation of her DUI probation terms, Paris spent 23 days in prison in June 2007, an “ordeal” she now rarely talks about although, at the time, she milked it as best she knew how, even though she got the “celebrity treatment” for the most time she spent incarcerated.
