How Old is Lisa Vanderpump, and When Did She Start Her TV Career?
From the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to Vanderpump Rules, Lisa Vanderpump is a force to be reckoned with. Seriously, she’s like the total package. She’s gorgeous, wealthy and an all-around boss. Though we’ve been watching Vanderpump on our television screens for years, there is actually a lot that most people don’t know about her.
How Old is Lisa Vanderpump?
Lisa Vanderpump seems to never age. From her first season of The Real Housewives until now, her appearance hasn’t changed much. It’s hard to believe that the ageless beauty was born in 1960, which makes her 58 years old. She was born on Sep. 15 in London.
From a young age, Vanderpump knew that she wanted to pursue a career in entertainment. As a child, she attended a drama school. By the time she was 10, she was attending the selective school full-time.
Acting Career
Vanderpump landed her first big acting role in 1973 with a role in A Touch of Class. She was only 13 at the time, but she had already begun to show some major talent in acting.
Throughout the next few years, Vanderpump worked hard at building her acting credits. She soon landed roles in Katy, Killer’s Moon, Kids, The Wildcats of St. Trinian’s, Something in Disguise and ABC Mantrap to name a few. What’s even more impressive is that she landed all of these roles before 1990, making her a very busy child actor.
Marriage
If you’ve watched any of the shows that Vanderpump is on, then you probably know that her marriage didn’t occur in the most conventional way. Vanderpump has mentioned in the past that she had many suitors who wanted to be with her in her younger years but she wasn’t really that interested in settling down. That is, until she met Ken Todd.
She met Todd when she was just 21. The two dated for 6 weeks before getting married. There is a 15 year age difference between Todd and Vanderpump but that doesn’t seem to have come in between them at all. They have remained happily married since 1982.
Despite the rosy, perfect nature of her marriage to Todd, this is actually not his first marriage. He was previously married to Pamela Todd. The two have one child together who Vanderpump is now the stepmother of.
Net Worth
It only takes one look at Vanderpump to know that the star is loaded. Not only is she the star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she also has her own spin-off show, Vanderpump Rules, that is doing quite well. In addition to that, she owns a number of very successful restaurants. Currently, Vanderpump is estimated to be worth around $75 million.
She is the highest paid housewife of the Beverly Hills branch. In the fourth season of the show, she earned $350,000 which was double what her costar Brandi Glanville made.
She also has owned 35 restaurants, bars and clubs with her husband. The establishments are spread out between London and California, which means that Vanderpump is raking in some serious cash both nationally and internationally.
With her new restaurant Tom Tom just opening and several others on the horizon, it doesn’t seem like Vanderpump will be slowing down anytime soon.
