Bubbly blond daughter of brash Virgin mogul Richard Branson is a doctor in London who received her med school degree in pediatrics.

More recently, she has been all over the press after spending a night dancing and chatting with the newly single prince at a London nightclub. Holly maintains they are just friends. The public seems to disagree: Holly once won BBC Channel 4's "A Wife for William" contest with 43% of the vote.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Age: 46
Her French father Gerard has a $3.4 billion fortune from such commodities as oil, gas and orange juice, but Julia doesn't need Dad's dollars. The Saturday Night Live alum made her own small fortune from her nine-year run as Elaine Benes on Seinfeld. Last year, she took home an Emmy for best actress for The New Adventures of Old Christine, breaking the so-called Seinfeld curse that has haunted the projects of her co-stars on the show.

Nicky Hilton
Age: 23
Paris' little sister, Nicky, generated her own buzz with a two-year relationship with Entourage star Kevin Connolly that ended last summer and with her much publicized forays into the hotel business, which quickly flopped. Her Nicky O hotel in Florida's trendy South Beach reportedly went bankrupt, and a Chicago developer sued her and her agent over another hotel project in the Windy City. The case was dismissed.

Ivanka Trump
Age: 25
The ultimate mix of style and substance. The former model graduated magna cum laude with a degree in real estate from the University of Pennsylvania and joined the Trump Organization in 2005 as a member of the development team. Currently she's helping export the Trump brand to Dubai and Panama City. Ivanka's own profile is soaring thanks to regular appearances by Dad's side in the boardroom of The Apprentice and on the covers of Stuff magazine and Forbes (alongside Dad and brother).

Paris Hilton
Age: 26
Suddenly life isn't so simple for the world's original celebutante. Great-granddaughter of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton, Paris was recently sentenced to 45 days in jail for driving with a suspended license. The suspension came after an alcohol-related reckless driving incident. It was the defining moment for a year full of tabloid-worthy fodder: a public proclamation of celibacy, a reunion with once-estranged Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie last October and countless rumored romances.
Am I the only person who doesn't think either of the Hilton sisters are hot?
