On Thursday, the 10-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian earned some props from her mom’s longtime friend Hilton, 42, who told Extra at GQ’s Men of the Year 2023 red carpet that North is “iconic.”
In GQ’s latest feature on Kardashian, 43, the mother of four revealed that North “fully scams” her friends at lemonade stands — charging $20 instead of $2 for a cup. And as Hilton explained, that makes North a “future entrepreneur.”
“I actually used to do that with my sister every summer in the Malibu Colony,” Hilton said. “We would both do the same thing, so North is a future entrepreneur and I love that, I love her so much.”

Hilton also sounded off on North’s decision to dress up as Kardashian in a new TikTok. This past week, North wore a famous look that her mom wore in the 2000s, and even posed next to a friend dressed up as Hilton.
North channeled her mom’s look from the Sydney Airport in 2006 in the TikTok — wearing a velour sweatsuit and sunglasses, as her friend rocked Hilton’s newsboy cap, white sunglasses and striped shirt. “Kim, Kardashian Paris Hilton 💕,” the caption read, as the clip was set to Kardashian’s 2011 track “Jam (Turn It Up).”
“I saw a video they just posted on TikTok of her and her friend dressed exactly like Kim and I at the airport,” Hilton told Extra.
“They had the looks exactly down. That girl is iconic.”
As for North’s lemonade business, Kardashian detailed how her daughter operates the weekend lemonade stand in the her new GQ cover story.
“She gets a huge pitcher and fills it, puts it in her wagon and goes down to the corner,” Kardashian told the outlet. “She has a table and chairs and fans to keep herself cool. She makes signs. She stays there hours and hours. Her friends help, so she splits the money with them.”
“If a random person stops, she will charge them only $2,” Kardashian added. “If she knows you, she will fully scam you.”
Kardashian added that she’ll get “calls from my friends” that her eldest daughter charged them $20 for a lemonade, after claiming she doesn’t have any change to break a $20 bill.
Kardashian is also mom to daughter Chicago, 5, and sons Psalm, 4, and Saint, 7, who she shares with Kanye West. Hilton is the mother of son Phoenix Barron, who was born via surrogate in January.
At the GQ event this past week, Hilton told PEOPLE that she was “obsessed” with her baby, who she shares with husband Carter Reum. “It’s exciting to have this next phase in my life and just to have this little angel who just brightens up my day every morning and this smile melts my heart,” she said. “He’s my best buddy and I just am obsessed.”
