Although people often expect the socialite to be ditzy, she says they are pleasantly surprised when they hear her talk about her business empire, reports Dailymail.

“If someone hasn’t met me yet, they automatically have their misconceptions about me. As soon as I am in a board room in front of them talking about my business, they immediately know I’m not the dumb blonde they thought I was,” Hilton told Galore magazine.

US socialite Paris Hilton greets children at the Teleton foundation in Tlanepantla, Mexico state, Mexico on November 10, 2016.

Hilton, 35, says that she is “flattered” when people call her an icon.

Hilton also says that she has a good idea of who is using her for her fame and who genuinely wants to spend time with her.

“Over the years I have definitely figured out all the signs of a hungry tiger. I can mostly tell when there are paparazzi and I can see the way a person like that reacts. Also, being in this business for so long it’s pretty obvious what people’s intentions are,” she said.
