Kathy Hilton’s husband, Rick, and son, Barron, are entering a brand-new business venture together.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kathy Hilton’s husband and real estate magnate, Rick Hilton, has a brand new business venture.
Kathy’s husband and oldest son, Barron Hilton, announced on Feb. 26 through The Hollywood Reporter that they are opening a brand new real estate brokerage firm, Hilton Hilton.
Kathy is no stranger to real estate investments or supporting her four adult children — Paris, Nicole, Barron, and Conrad. Now there is a new business to come from the Hilton family that wants to “modernize” the real estate industry.
Read on to learn all of the details about the new brokerage firm and Kathy’s return to RHOBH.
Rick Hilton and Barron Hilton’s New Brokerage Firm, Hilton Hilton
After leaving their former brokerage that Rick co-founded, Hilton & Hyland, in 2022, Rick and Barron are now a part of Hilton Hilton, per The Hollywood Reporter, along with Barron’s wife, Tessa, who serves as the co-CEO.
This new real estate firm, which has launched with a “small group of agents,” according to The Hollywood Reporter, aims to bridge “the gap between old and young buyers, while injecting a sense of culture and community to the traditionally cold and transactional industry.”
According to the Hilton Hilton website, this new firm wants to “modernize the real estate industry” by “curating a community of discerning real estate enthusiasts who value authenticity, integrity, and personalized service.” They aim to do this by reimagining the typical open house, which involves hosting events in their properties on the market that will create a connection to potential buyers.
“We created the true gold standard of luxury real estate brokering decades ago and I am excited to continue this legacy alongside my son and daughter-in-law into the next generation with Hilton Hilton,” Rick told The Hollywood Reporter.
Kathy’s brother-in-law and RHOBH cast member, Kyle Richards’ husband, Mauricio Umansky, got his start in real estate as an agent at Hilton & Hyland, before he left and started his own firm, The Agency, in 2011.
