What is Ken Todd and Lisa Vanderpump's net worth? 'Vanderpump Villa' star opened over 30 restaurants with husband of 40 years
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ken Todd, also known as Ken Vanderpump, is a British-American businessman and restaurant owner with a $90 million net worth as per Celebrity Net Worth. That is his cumulative net worth with his wife, Lisa Vanderpump, from 'Vanderpump Villa'.
Ken is an independent entrepreneur who worked hard to establish a life for himself and his child from his former marriage to Pamela Todd. He carried out a variety of odd jobs as a laborer until he was able to support his family since he was raising his son Warren alone when he met Lisa.
Since then, the British-American restauranteur pair has established 30 restaurants, including several frequently featured on 'Vanderpump Rules'. Ken was a worker in the textile business before opening his first pub, Corks Pub, in 1980.
Since then, Steve and Lisa have opened more than 30 restaurants, many of which are still operational. 'Vanderpump Rules' centers on Ken and Lisa's ties with their two Los Angeles restaurants, SUR and TomTom.
They also own two restaurants in Las Vegas and have plans to open more. Pinky's by Vanderpump will debut in Vegas first, followed by Wolf in Lake Tahoe. In addition to his restaurant career, Ken has dabbled in other forms of business.
He created an album called "Pump Sessions," which includes music from DJ James Kennedy, the DJ for 'Vanderpump Rules'. Ken is also working as James' manager.
Search engines will also reveal that Ken is a very accomplished football (aka soccer) player, but that he is around 12 years younger than the 'Vanderpump Rules' celebrity. Lisa clarified the confusion: "No, he chases puppies, not balls."
Lisa, a reality TV veteran, told Forbes about the benefits of multitasking. She is the executive producer and key cast member of 'Vanderpump Rules'.
She's been on the show since Season 1. Lisa, who previously appeared on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' from Seasons 1 to 9, executive produces 'Vanderpump Rules' alongside her husband, Ken.
While Lisa's current 'Vanderpump Rules' compensation is unknown, The Hollywood Reporter stated in 2020 that she earned more than $50,000 per episode as an executive producer and cast member on the show, plus "lucrative incentives."
Lisa's compensation would be roughly $1 million for the 20-episode season. According to the magazine, Lisa's income was more than twice that of the 'Vanderpump Rules' primary cast members, who were paid $25,000 for each episode at the time, making her the highest-paid 'Vanderpump Rules' cast member.
Lisa's 'RHOBH' cast member compensation was allegedly $500,000 every season, according to a 2014 Radar Online article. LVP earned a household name in 2010 when she debuted as a Beverly Hills Housewife.
She left the program in season 9 after a falling out with Kyle Richards and the other Housewives. Lisa developed her own Bravo spinoff, 'Vanderpump Rules', after season 3 of 'RHOBH', which was a huge success for the network.
