Lisa Vanderpump net worth is $90 million (est.). That is the figure supplied in the CelebWorth API data for this profile, and it is also the figure most commonly cited for Vanderpump herself. Readers will also see a higher figure, $120 million, in some publications. That higher figure is described as a combined net worth with her husband and longtime business partner, Ken Todd. This article uses $90 million (est.) as the headline figure, explains the $120 million combined figure, and shows how a hospitality career that began in London bars became a television, restaurant, wine and hotel empire.
Vanderpump is unusual among reality television stars because television did not create her business. She and Todd had already opened, run and sold dozens of bars and restaurants before she joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2010. Television amplified a business that already existed, turned one restaurant, SUR, into a world-famous name, and gave her new shows, products and, most recently, a Las Vegas hotel. Her fortune is therefore best read as a hospitality fortune first, and a television fortune second.

The table uses the CelebWorth API data supplied for this profile: date of birth 1960-09-15, height 165 cm, net worth $90 million, profession Actress, and country UK. No annual income figure is given in that data, so this article does not invent one. Television pay figures below are reported figures, not API data.
What Is Lisa Vanderpump Net Worth?
Lisa Vanderpump net worth is $90 million (est.). The $120 million figure seen elsewhere is not a contradiction. It is the same fortune counted differently: $90 million is commonly cited for Vanderpump herself, while $120 million is cited as the combined wealth of Vanderpump and Todd, who have built their businesses together since they married in 1982. Because their restaurants, property and brands are jointly held, many publishers prefer the combined figure. This article keeps both figures visible, uses $90 million as the headline to match the API data, and does not present either figure as an audited balance sheet.
All celebrity net worth figures are estimates. They are built from public deals, reported salaries, property records and business valuations, not from tax returns or private accounts. For a hospitality couple who own operating businesses, the estimate is especially approximate: a restaurant is worth what it earns, what its lease allows, and what a buyer would pay, and those values change with trade, rent and reputation.
Early Life and Acting Beginnings
Lisa Jane Vanderpump was born on 15 September 1960 in Dulwich, London, England. She was a full-time drama student by the age of nine, attending the Corona Academy, and she worked as a child actress and in film and television through the 1970s and beyond, with early credits including A Touch of Class (1973) and later appearances in shows such as Baywatch Nights and Silk Stalkings. Acting gave her confidence, presentation skills and a public presence, but it did not make her fortune. Her fortune came from what she did next, with Todd.
Vanderpump met Ken Todd, a bar owner, in London. They married in 1982, just six weeks after meeting, when she was 21. That marriage became a business partnership that has lasted more than four decades. Todd brought operational and property experience, Vanderpump brought design, hospitality instinct and, later, television presence. Together, they treated each venue as both a business and a brand.
The London Years: Dozens of Bars and Restaurants
Before American audiences knew her name, Vanderpump and Todd built a large hospitality portfolio in London. Reporting consistently puts the total at more than 20, and in some accounts more than 30, bars, restaurants and clubs across London and later Los Angeles. These were not a single chain with one menu. They were individual venues, designed, opened, run and, in many cases, sold.
This period matters for three reasons:
- Capital: Selling venues, and running profitable ones, built the capital that later funded American expansion.
- Skill: Running dozens of venues teaches staffing, suppliers, licensing, design, pricing and customer service in a way that one restaurant cannot.
- Risk spread: A portfolio spreads risk. If one venue struggles, others can support the business, while a single restaurant has no cushion.
When the couple moved to California, they brought that experience with them. They were not television personalities trying hospitality. They were hospitality operators who later became television personalities.
America: Villa Blanca, SUR, Pump and TomTom
Villa Blanca
In Beverly Hills, Vanderpump and Todd opened Villa Blanca, an upscale restaurant that featured frequently on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Vanderpump famously described Villa Blanca as the place where you take your wife, in contrast to SUR, where you take your mistress. Villa Blanca closed permanently in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a reminder that even successful restaurants face shocks beyond their control.
SUR Restaurant & Lounge
SUR, short for Sexy Unique Restaurant, in West Hollywood, became the centre of Vanderpump’s American fame. It was already a restaurant before television, but The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills made it visible, and Vanderpump Rules, launched in 2013, made its staff famous. The show follows SUR employees, known as SURvers, and their work and personal lives, with Vanderpump as owner and executive producer. SUR is therefore both a restaurant and a television set, and its trade benefits from both roles.
Pump and TomTom
Pump, a garden-themed restaurant in West Hollywood, reflected Vanderpump’s design style more directly than any other venue, with a romantic, outdoor, floral setting. Pump later closed, and reporting in 2026 has discussed TomTom, the bar Vanderpump co-owned with Vanderpump Rules cast members Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, being offered for sale. Closures and sales are normal in hospitality, and they do not erase the wider portfolio. They show a business that opens, runs, sells and replaces venues, rather than holding every venue forever.
Las Vegas Expansion and the Vanderpump Hotel
In recent years, Vanderpump has expanded strongly in Las Vegas, in partnership with Caesars Entertainment. Her Las Vegas venues include:
- Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace
- Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas
- Pinky’s by Vanderpump at the Flamingo
- Wolf by Vanderpump, also known as WOLF, in Lake Tahoe and Scottsdale
In 2026, she took the largest step of her hospitality career so far: opening The Vanderpump Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, in partnership with Caesars Entertainment, transforming the former Cromwell site into a boutique, design-led hotel with about 188 rooms. This moves her brand beyond restaurants and bars into hotels, where income comes from rooms, food and drink, events and brand licensing, not just from a single dining room. It is also the clearest sign that her fortune is still being built, not simply maintained.
How Lisa Vanderpump Built Her Wealth
| Income source | Role in the fortune | Certainty |
|---|---|---|
| London bars and restaurants | Early capital and operating skill | Portfolio size reported as 20-35 venues |
| US restaurants and bars | Ongoing trade, including SUR and Las Vegas venues | Trade figures not publicly broken down |
| Television salaries | Real Housewives pay reported at $500,000 per season later | Reported, contracts not public |
| Producing fees | Vanderpump Rules, Vanderpump Villa and other shows | Direction clear, exact fees not public |
| Vanderpump Wines, rosé, vodka and spirits | Product brands sold in venues and retail | Brands exist, sales totals not public |
| Hotel | The Vanderpump Hotel, Las Vegas, from 2026 | New venture, long-term profit not yet known |
| Books and design | Cookbooks, lifestyle books and design work | Successful, exact royalties not public |
Wine, spirits and products
Vanderpump has built product brands alongside her venues, including Vanderpump Wines, Vanderpump Rosé, Vanderpump Vodka and related spirits. These products are sold in her own venues and in retail, and they turn a restaurant brand into a product that can be bought without visiting a restaurant. Exact sales figures are not public, so this article does not assign them a dollar total. What can be said is that they add a retail income stream to a hospitality business, and they reinforce the Vanderpump name in shops as well as in dining rooms.
Books
Vanderpump has published books on food, entertaining and lifestyle, including a cookbook centred on her home, Villa Rosa, showing how she cooks and hosts. Books support the brand, give fans a product to buy, and reinforce her image as a host and designer. They are a supporting income stream, not the main source of her fortune.
The Vanderpump Dog Foundation
In 2016, Vanderpump and Todd launched The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organisation. Its first rescue and adoption centre in Los Angeles has, according to Caesars and foundation reporting, rescued more than 2,700 dogs domestically, with later reporting putting adoptions in Los Angeles at more than 3,000, plus hundreds more internationally. The foundation also campaigns against animal cruelty internationally.
This work is philanthropy, not personal income, and it should not be counted as part of her net worth. It is included here because it is central to Vanderpump’s public work, because Vanderpump Dogs showed it on television, and because it explains part of her public image: a businesswoman who also runs a visible animal charity. She has also supported LGBTQ+ organisations, including work with GLAAD and The Trevor Project, and she has received honours including the Key to the City of Beverly Hills and Ally of the Year from Equality California.
How Her Fortune Compares
| Person | Estimated net worth | Main source |
|---|---|---|
| Lisa Vanderpump | $90 million (est.) | Restaurants and television |
| Bethenny Frankel | $80 million (est.) | Skinnygirl sale and licensing |
| Jeff Probst | $50 million (est.) | Survivor hosting and producing |
| Rick Harrison | $10 million (est.) | Pawn shop and television |
| Parker Schnabel | $10 million (est.) | Gold mining and television |
Vanderpump sits at the top of this group on the API figure, and higher still on the combined figure with Todd. That reflects decades of operating businesses, not a single sale or salary. It also reflects joint wealth: Vanderpump and Todd built the portfolio together, so any single-person figure is, to some extent, a share of a joint fortune.

Two Numbers for One Fortune: $90 Million and $120 Million
Lisa Vanderpump’s net worth is $90 million (est.), and readers will also see a higher figure, $120 million, in some publications. Those two numbers are not a contradiction, and understanding why both circulate is the key to reading her fortune honestly. The $90 million figure is the one supplied in the CelebWorth API data for this profile, and it is also the figure most commonly cited for Vanderpump herself. The $120 million figure is described as a combined net worth with her husband and longtime business partner, Ken Todd. Because their restaurants, property and brands are jointly held, many publishers prefer the combined figure, and both figures describe the same underlying fortune counted in two different ways.
The joint nature of the fortune goes back to the very start of the partnership. Vanderpump met Ken Todd, a bar owner, in London, and they married in 1982, just six weeks after meeting, when she was 21. That marriage became a business partnership that has lasted more than four decades. Todd brought operational and property experience, Vanderpump brought design, hospitality instinct and, later, television presence, and together they treated each venue as both a business and a brand. When a couple builds a portfolio together over forty years, any single-person figure is, to some extent, a share of a joint fortune, and the $90 million and $120 million figures simply draw that line in different places.
All celebrity net worth figures are estimates, built from public deals, reported salaries, property records and business valuations, not from tax returns or private accounts. For a hospitality couple who own operating businesses, the estimate is especially approximate: a restaurant is worth what it earns, what its lease allows, and what a buyer would pay, and those values change with trade, rent and reputation. This article therefore keeps both figures visible, uses $90 million as the headline to match the API data, and does not present either figure as an audited balance sheet. Her annual income figure in the API data is not disclosed, so no annual income number is given here, and television pay figures are reported figures, not API data.
How the Fortune Was Built, Venue by Venue
Vanderpump is unusual among reality television stars because television did not create her business. She and Todd had already opened, run and sold dozens of bars and restaurants before she joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2010. Reporting consistently puts the London total at more than 20 venues, and in some accounts more than 30, bars, restaurants and clubs across London and later Los Angeles. These were not a single chain with one menu. They were individual venues, designed, opened, run and, in many cases, sold, and that pattern of opening, running, selling and replacing venues has continued throughout her career.
| Stage | Venues and ventures | What it added to the fortune |
|---|---|---|
| London years | More than 20, in some accounts more than 30, bars, restaurants and clubs | Capital from sales and profitable trading, plus operating skill in staffing, suppliers, licensing, design, pricing and customer service |
| Early America | Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills, SUR in West Hollywood, Pump in West Hollywood, TomTom | A Beverly Hills presence, a world-famous restaurant in SUR, and design-led venues that became television locations |
| Las Vegas expansion | Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, Pinky’s by Vanderpump at the Flamingo, Wolf by Vanderpump in Lake Tahoe and Scottsdale | A second geographic base in partnership with Caesars Entertainment, spreading income beyond Los Angeles |
| Hotels and products | The Vanderpump Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip from 2026, Vanderpump Wines, Vanderpump Rosé, Vanderpump Vodka and related spirits, cookbooks and lifestyle books | Room, food, drink, event and brand-licensing income, plus retail products that sell without a restaurant visit |
The American venues each tell a different part of the story. Villa Blanca, an upscale restaurant in Beverly Hills, featured frequently on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Vanderpump famously described it as the place where you take your wife, in contrast to SUR, where you take your mistress. Villa Blanca closed permanently in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a reminder that even successful restaurants face shocks beyond their control. SUR, short for Sexy Unique Restaurant, in West Hollywood, became the centre of her American fame: it was already a restaurant before television, but The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills made it visible, and Vanderpump Rules, launched in 2013, made its staff famous. The show follows SUR employees, known as SURvers, and their work and personal lives, with Vanderpump as owner and executive producer, so SUR is both a restaurant and a television set, and its trade benefits from both roles.
Pump, a garden-themed restaurant in West Hollywood, reflected Vanderpump’s design style more directly than any other venue, with a romantic, outdoor, floral setting, and Pump later closed. Reporting in 2026 has discussed TomTom, the bar Vanderpump co-owned with Vanderpump Rules cast members Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, being offered for sale. Closures and sales are normal in hospitality, and they do not erase the wider portfolio: they show a business that opens, runs, sells and replaces venues, rather than holding every venue forever. That habit of replacing venues is also why a portfolio spreads risk: if one venue struggles, others can support the business, while a single restaurant has no cushion.
In 2026 she took the largest step of her hospitality career so far, opening The Vanderpump Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, in partnership with Caesars Entertainment, transforming the former Cromwell site into a boutique, design-led hotel with about 188 rooms. This moves her brand beyond restaurants and bars into hotels, where income comes from rooms, food and drink, events and brand licensing, not just from a single dining room. It is also the clearest sign that her fortune is still being built, not simply maintained. Alongside the venues, her product brands, including Vanderpump Wines, Vanderpump Rosé, Vanderpump Vodka and related spirits, turn a restaurant brand into a product that can be bought without visiting a restaurant, and her books, including a cookbook centred on her home, Villa Rosa, support the brand as a host and designer.
Television Pay in Context, and the Comparison Group
Television salaries are a real part of the fortune, but they are not the main part, and keeping them in proportion matters. Her later-season pay on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been reported at $500,000 per season, though exact contracts are not public, so this should be treated as a reported figure, not a confirmed salary. She also earns producing fees from Vanderpump Rules, Vanderpump Villa and other shows, though the direction is clear and the exact fees are not public. Set against a hospitality portfolio built over four decades, television pay is a supporting stream: television amplified a business that already existed, turned SUR into a world-famous name, and gave her new shows and products, but it did not create the fortune. The restaurants did.
The comparison table in the main article puts her fortune alongside other television-linked fortunes, and the pattern is instructive. Vanderpump sits at the top of that group on the $90 million API figure, and higher still on the combined $120 million figure with Todd, and that position reflects decades of operating businesses, not a single sale or salary.
| Person | Estimated net worth | Main source |
|---|---|---|
| Lisa Vanderpump | $90 million (est.), $120 million combined with Ken Todd | Restaurants and television |
| Bethenny Frankel | $80 million (est.) | Skinnygirl sale and licensing |
| Jeff Probst | $50 million (est.) | Survivor hosting and producing |
| Rick Harrison | $10 million (est.) | Pawn shop and television |
| Parker Schnabel | $10 million (est.) | Gold mining and television |
The contrast with the others in the table is the point. Frankel’s figure rests largely on a single brand sale and licensing, Probst’s on hosting and producing one long-running show, and Harrison’s and Schnabel’s on a shop and a mine plus television. Vanderpump’s figure rests on dozens of venues opened, run and sold across two countries, plus television, products and now a hotel. That breadth is also why her fortune has lasted through venue closures, a pandemic and changing television tastes: a portfolio of venues, brands and now a hotel can adapt, sell, reopen and expand in ways that a single salary cannot.
Glossary and the Philanthropy That Is Not Income
One part of Vanderpump’s public work is often misunderstood, so it deserves a clear explanation. In 2016, Vanderpump and Todd launched The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organisation. Its first rescue and adoption centre in Los Angeles has, according to Caesars and foundation reporting, rescued more than 2,700 dogs domestically, with later reporting putting adoptions in Los Angeles at more than 3,000, plus hundreds more internationally, and the foundation also campaigns against animal cruelty internationally. This work is philanthropy, not personal income, and it should not be counted as part of her net worth. It is central to her public image, and it explains part of that image, alongside her support for LGBTQ+ organisations, including work with GLAAD and The Trevor Project, and honours including the Key to the City of Beverly Hills and Ally of the Year from Equality California.
- 501(c)(3) organisation: A non-profit organisation recognised for charitable purposes. The Vanderpump Dog Foundation is a 501(c)(3), which means its rescue work is charitable activity, not a business that adds to personal wealth.
- SURvers: The name used for the staff of SUR, whose work and personal lives are followed on Vanderpump Rules, with Vanderpump as owner and executive producer.
- Executive producer: A senior producing role with creative and business oversight. Vanderpump holds this role on Vanderpump Rules and on Vanderpump Villa, alongside starring in the latter.
- Combined net worth: A figure that counts the wealth of two people together. The $120 million figure is the combined wealth of Vanderpump and Ken Todd, while $90 million is the figure commonly cited for Vanderpump herself.
- Brand licensing: Income from allowing a brand name to be used on products or venues. The Vanderpump Hotel and her wine and spirits brands extend her name beyond the restaurants she operates directly.
- Portfolio: A collection of venues or businesses held together. Her London portfolio of more than 20 venues, and her later American and Las Vegas venues, spread risk in a way a single restaurant cannot.

Conclusion
Lisa Vanderpump net worth, at $90 million (est.), or $120 million combined with Ken Todd, is the result of a hospitality career that began long before reality television. London bars built the capital and the skill, American restaurants built the fame, television turned SUR into a global name, and Las Vegas venues, product brands and now a hotel have extended the business further. Television pay helped, but it did not create the fortune. The restaurants did.
That distinction is why her fortune has lasted through venue closures, a pandemic and changing television tastes. A portfolio of venues, brands and now a hotel can adapt, sell, reopen and expand in ways that a single salary cannot. Vanderpump’s story is therefore not just a reality television story. It is a hospitality story, told on television, and still being written in Las Vegas.
