The Richest 'Real Housewife' Revealed: How She Makes Her Money
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the wealthiest "Real Housewife" of them all? It's none other than Lisa Vanderpump.
The former star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ranks in at number one and not just when it comes to her series. She wears the crown of the wealthiest "Real Housewife" among the entire Bravo franchise (which is no surprise for those who have gotten to know her through their television screens).
So how much is she worth? An estimated whopping $75 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth. Here's how she made it.
Let's start with the most obvious -- "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Lisa was a cast member on the show since it premiered in 2010. After bringing the drama for over nine seasons, she worked her way up to a seven-figure salary of $1 million per season, according to Cheat Sheet. Lisa has since quit "RHOBH" but she's still raking in the dough with her spin-off show "Vanderpump Rules," where she brings in $500,000 per season (the show is currently set to premiere Season 8 on Jan. 7).
Lisa is much more than just a reality star, though. She made the bulk of her $75 million fortune with her husband Ken Todd. Together they've opened over 30 restaurants around the world.
Some of the most notable ventures include Los Angeles restaurants SUR and Villa Blanca, which Bustle reported in 2016 were both bringing in about $1 million each year. She also owns popular spots PUMP and TomTom (which she opened with "Vanderpump Rules" stars Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval) and recently expanded her talents to Las Vegas, where she opened Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, located in Ceasar's Palace.
This British businesswoman's streams of income don't stop there. She has her own line of beverages (from Sangria to Rosé) and a pet merchandise line as well.
While it may seem like Lisa achieved this overnight there was no doubt a lot of blood, sweat, and tears that got her to where she is today.
