Company
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.
Global hotel operator and franchisor. Listed as Hilton Hotels Corporation until the 2007 take-private; the post-2013 public company is Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. One canonical Entity spans both names, because it is one continuously operating business and splitting it would make its ownership history unreadable.

About this record
Verified findings have passed evidence review and stay published only while their reviewed evidence matches what currently exists. A finding is either a verified fact or a causal attribution — a reviewed judgement that one thing contributed to another, published with the attribution strength it earned. The two are not interchangeable.
Everything else on this page is a recorded database entry: ownership, classification, and relationship rows carried over from research and import work. A record existing is not the same as a fact being checked. Imported records were migrated from Death by PE’s earlier database; record origin is separate from verification.
