A representative for socialite-heiress Paris Hilton has denied she has been paid $1 million to party with a Malaysian billionaire.

The actress-designer hit headlines in recent weeks that she's received a hefty pay cheque to liven up Jho Low's holiday on his yacht in France, reports contactmusic.com.

But a rep for the star is adamant the stories are not true.

'They are friends. Jho has invited Paris and her sister, Nicky, out to St. Tropez as friends. He has not paid her in any way, although he is extremely generous,' said the representative.
