It is a theoretical probability distribution. I have included two links from the internet which describe the distribution and some of its applications. Sometimes in statistics, we are more interested in the more extreme statistics rather than the average. For example, if we are studying the spread of a disease, perhaps the long distance that the disease can travel one time in 100 is more important than the average distance. Both the exponential and the Pareto distribution are used when the tail end probabilities (cumulative probability close to 1) are of interest. See related links.
