Barron Hilton, brother of Paris and Nicky, must pay a gas station attendant $4.9 million for allegedly hitting him with his car in 2008.

Three years ago, an 18-year-old Hilton is said to have driven the wrong way on the Pacific Coast Highway for several miles before he struck Fernando Tellez with his Mercedes at a service stop.

That same day, Hilton was arrested for DUI after testing for 0.14 blood alcohol content. He pleaded no contest.

Tellez sued Hilton, claiming “permanent disability,” and a Los Angeles County Superior Court jury just ordered Hilton to pay him nearly $5 million.

The breakdown is $4.6 million for pain and suffering, medical expenses and loss of earnings; $225,000 for punitive damages; and $71,000 in interest.

    What a joke this generation of Hiltons turned out to be. Their parents should pat themselves on the back.

    I agree completely! Other than Nicky who seems okay, at least not getting in trouble, but doesn’t seem to work either that I know of. I’m beyond fed up with ANYTHING named Hilton!
