The 36-year-old former 'The Simple Life' star has vowed to never return to her reality television roots because she's "more interested" in running her business "empire", which includes 19 product lines and 20 fragrances.

She told Plastik magazine: "My team gets calls every single day with offers for reality TV but I am so busy running my empire that I don't have time for it.

"I feel like I have been there and done that and it's not a priority in my life. I am more interested in being a businesswoman."

And Paris - who comes from a family of business owners as her great-grandfather Conrad Hilton is the founder of Hilton Hotels - says the hardest part of growing her own business empire was getting people to take her "seriously."

She added: "The most challenging part has been people taking me seriously.

"They are always so surprised when I come prepared to meetings and that I am well versed in whatever business venture we are discussing."

Paris - who is rumoured to be dating actor Chris Zylka - also spoke about being "an inspiration" to other women who might want to make it in the business world, and urged people to "work hard" and not let success "get to your head".

She said: "I love that I can be a role model and inspiration to young women. I am all about girl power. I love being an inspiration to girls who want to be independent women and build their own brand and business and showing them that if you work hard and focus, dreams can come true.

"My advice would be to continue to work hard and surround yourself with good people and a great team who really want the best for you. Also, don't let it get to your head and always treat your fans with love and respect."
