Paris Hilton Says She Made No Money Off Her Sex Tape

It's been 10 years since Paris Hilton's sex tape with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon was released and the one-time reality star is still claiming she never cashed in on her X-rated night-vision romp.

TMZ caught up with the 32-year-old at LAX following news that the hotel heiress is pursuing legal action against a Slovenian porn site that's illegally profiting off her name and sex tape, "One Night In Paris." With her X-rated tape back in the news, TMZ wanted to confirm Hilton's claims that she never profited from it .

"[I] never made a dollar," Paris told the cameraman, adding that she never tried to get a cut of the profits either. "I make enough money in nice ways. My fragrance makes enough, I don't need to worry about that."

It's a claim Hilton has been making for years, telling British GQ in 2006 , "I never received a dime from it. It's just dirty money and he should give it all to some charity for the sexually abused or something. To be honest, I don't even think about it anymore."

While Hilton may not have profited directly from the sales of "One Night In Paris," the tape boosted her profile enormously, turning her into a household name. The blonde heiress, who until then was best known for her antics on the party circuit, suddenly had her own reality show , perfume line, and like it or not, earned a place in pop culture history.
