What's Paris Hilton's Yearbook worth? Scroll down to see the selling price.
From the listing:
You are bidding on Paris Hilton's 8th grade yearbook. It is in near mint condition with just minor dents on the corners of the cover and writing on the inside of the cover. This is the 1995 St. Paul the Apostle school yearbook, I received this attending the school in the 4th grade. It is not autographed by Paris herself. It contains Paris' graduation photo with shout outs to her friends as well as her baby picture and a dedication page made by Paris for her friends. The dedication page includes photos of her with Nicole Ritchie. This is believed to be her only graduation, as it is the only school she is believed to have received a diploma from. Truly a collector's piece. An excerpt from Jerry Oppenheimer's book, House of Hilton: "BEFORE RICK AND KATHY MOVED their brood to New York City in the '90s, the Hiltons lived in exclusive Bel-Air, in Los Angeles, where Paris and Nicky attended a strict coeducational Roman Catholic school, St. Paul the Apostle, which went up to the eighth grade. The Hilton girls were required to wear uniforms and were given a Catholic education in addition to the reading, writing, and arithmetic. "It was more strict than a lot of schools," says a parent of a student who went there. "The principal was against having boy-girl parties until the graduation party." ***"Paris graduated from St. Paul's in June 1995, the only school from which she is believed to have ever received a formal diploma. But because of her increasingly wild behavior she was not seen at the eighth-grade parent-sponsored graduation party. She then went to Marymount High School in Bel-Air, but she didn't finish with her class."***
Wow! This sold for $338.00 plus $10.00 for shipping.
