Who is Hilary Banks? Hilary is the daughter of Uncle Phil and cousin/step-sister of Will Smith. She is also the host of her own daytime talk show with a title you would never guess, “Hilary”. She is very self-absorbed and ignorant, as well as, having no awareness for the people around her unless it directly affects her. Much like Hilary Banks, Jordan Baker from The Great Gatsby is much like her if not worse than her.
Jordan Baker may not have her own TV show, but she is a self-acclaimed professional tennis player. Self-acclaimed because that is a lie, but no one cares to investigate it so she can still live in the lie of her tennis fame. Another her and Hilary share are that for the most part they do their own thing. They both almost completely randomly show up and leave at their own accord and act or build up their reputation almost completely on their own not counting the funds they receive from their parents. Which brings up another point, both of them basically just received money from their parents whenever they want. Hilary made up reasons, whether they were true or not, to get money from Uncle Phil which sometimes worked out, but also sometimes had major backfires. For Jordan, we never really see any interactions with any of her relatives because she is not necessarily a main character, which we also see somewhat with Hilary, although both are still important characters.
