William Barron Hilton —
Barron was his mother’s
maiden name — was born
Oct. 23, 1927, in Dallas, where
he grew up as a devoted fan
of the planes that flew into
and out of Love Field, the
city airport. He had his fly-
ing license by the time he
was 17 and was serving as a
Navy photographer during
World War II. And he wasn’t
particularly fond of the hotel
business.
After the war, at 19, he
told his father he would work
for the company for $1,000 a
month. His father said no
thanks, so the young Barron
left and didn’t come back
until more than a decade lat-
er, by which time he was a
millionaire.
“I guess you could say
that I wanted to make it on
my own,” Hilton said in a Mi-
ami Herald interview in 1982.
He began by peddling or-
ange juice products with
several partners in South-
ern California but soon
bought them out and had
the distributorship to him-
self. He co-founded an oil
company, then started one
of the first aircraft-leasing
businesses in the country.
But in 1951, when he re-
turned to Hilton Hotels, he
started in the operations de-
partment. Showing his busi-
ness talent, he quickly
moved up and by 1954 was
vice president, in charge of
the company’s new venture,
Carte Blanche, one of the
first credit cards.
That venture didn’t go so
well, losing $2 million in six
years, so Hilton sold the
brand to Citibank and, using
his own money, moved on to
one that turned out quite
well indeed, the Los Angeles
Chargers.
Texas oil magnates
Lamar Hunt and Bud Ad-
ams had been turned down
for expansion franchises by
the National Football
League in 1959. They de-
cided that if you can’t join
them, fight them, so they
contacted other wealthy
businessmen to form a new
eight-team league. They
dubbed themselves “The
Foolish Club” for brazenly
challenging the NFL.
Hilton was invited to put
a team in Los Angeles, which
had a solid NFL team with a
substantial following in the
Rams, but he quickly de-
cided that there was room
for two in L.A. So when the
American Football League
began its first season in the
fall of 1960, the Chargers,
coached by the legendary
Sid Gillman with future New
York Rep. Jack Kemp at
quarterback, were ready for
battle.
The team was named
Chargers in a contest among
fans, although it was com-
monly assumed that the
name was a takeoff on the
Carte Blanche card.
“It was after the trumpet
call, followed by the roar of
‘Charge!’ ” Hilton told Bill
Dwyre of The Times in 2009.
“It never had a thing to do
with the credit card.”
Hilton also instigated the
lightning bolts on the team’s
helmets. “I have a passion
for flying and that’s why I
wanted the bolt,” he said.
Things went well for the
Chargers on the field, where
they went 10-4 and lost to the
Oilers and Billy Cannon in
the inaugural league cham-
pionship game, but not so
well at the gate. The Rams
customarily drew 50,000 or
more to their games at the
Coliseum; the Chargers con-
siderably fewer.
“We were averaging
13,000-14,000 people, and
that looked pretty ugly in the
Coliseum,” Hilton said.
So, in response to a pub-
lic campaign led by sports
editor Jack Murphy of what
was then the San Diego
Union newspaper, Hilton
moved the team south. It
continued to flourish in San
Diego and in the six seasons
he owned the Chargers, they
won five Western Division ti-
tles and the 1963 AFL cham-
pionship. And the league,
with its wide-open style of
play, its national TV con-
tract and its growing ability
to sign the best college play-
ers was giving the NFL fits.
Hilton, as league presi-
dent in 1965, also helped ne-
gotiate the eventual AFL-
NFL merger in a deal an-
nounced in 1966 that eventu-
ally produced the Super
Bowl, which was held at the
Coliseum the following year.
By then, though, Dad and
duty were calling. Conrad
wanted him to ditch the
Chargers and take over the
business, so in 1966 he sold
his controlling interest in the
team for a then-record $
million — his original invest-
ment had been $25,000 —
and succeeded his father as
president and CEO of the
Hilton Corp.
At Barron’s urging, the
company had spun off the in-
ternational operation — it
was repurchased years later
— and he had other changes
in mind.
Biggest among them was
Hilton’s move into gaming
with the purchase of two Las
Vegas casinos, the Flamingo
and the International.
Within months, gambling
revenue was accounting for
about 40% of company prof-
its, with more hotel-casinos
on the horizon.
Hilton personally came
up with two innovations that
quickly became standard in
casinos everywhere. He re-
placed the human “eye in the
sky” security observers with
video cameras, and intro-
duced progressive slot
machines that occasionally
yielded record jackpots, gen-
erating lots of free publicity.
Hilton also was among
the first to use management
leaseback deals. In 1975, he
sold half the company’s eq-
uity in six major hotels but
continued managing the
properties for a percentage
of room revenue and gross
profits. That deal brought in
$83 million, which was used
to buy back Hilton stock,
which increased seven times
in value.
Not everything he tou-
ched turned to gold, though.
In 1985, the New Jersey Ca-
sino Control Commission
denied his request for a gam-
ing license after he had built
a $320-million casino in At-
lantic City. The commission
cited Hilton’s 13-year rela-
tionship with Sidney Kor-
shak, a Chicago labor lawyer
with alleged ties to organ-
ized crime. Hilton sold the
new property to Donald
Trump, ended his business
relationship with Korshak
and was awarded a New Jer-
sey license in 1991.
There was a flap, too, af-
ter Conrad’s death in 1979.
The elder Hilton left most of
his fortune, 13.5 million
shares of Hilton stock, to his
foundation, which at that
time was used mostly to help
Catholic nuns. Tax law
would have forced the foun-
dation to sell much of the
stock, leaving the company
open to a hostile takeover.
Hilton went to court, claim-
ing that his father never in-
tended to jeopardize family
control of the company and
that his father’s will gave
him the option to buy the
foundation’s stake at $24 a
share.
The 10-year legal battle
ended with a settlement in
1989, giving 4 million shares
to Hilton, 3.5 million shares
to the foundation, and 6 mil-
lion shares to a trust, with
Hilton as executor, which
would revert to the founda-
tion in 2008.
“It was a very painful dec-
ade,” Hilton told USA Today
in 1995. “Hilton vs. the nuns
was not the best public rela-
tions move.”
Hilton was married to
Marilyn Hawley for 57 years
until her death in 2004. He is
survived by children William
Barron Jr., Hawley McAu-
liffe, Steven, David, Sharon
Constance Hilton, Richard,
Daniel and Ronald; 15
grandchildren, including
Paris and Nicky Hilton
Rothschild; and four great-
grandchildren.
