The Real Housewives Lisa Vanderpump's Key to the City of Beverly Hills

I knew that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Lisa Vanderpump and husband Ken were restaurateurs with restaurants all over the world.

I did not know that, in addition to restaurants, Lisa has designed yachts, homes, her own clothes and acted in movies and TV in her younger years.

It was being curious as to how the Vanderpumps amassed their fortune that led me learn more about Lisa.

I also did not know til this morning that Lisa's husband Ken's last name is not Vanderpump. He is Ken Todd.

I also did not know that someone named Jimmy Delshad had declared March 1st in Beverly Hills "Lisa Vanderpump Day" with Lisa being given the Key to the City.

I do not know on which year's March 1st Lisa Vanderpump Day occurred.

Lisa has a website, lisavanderpump.com.

On Lisa's website I found the below "About" info, apparently written by Lisa, along with links to websites for two of her California restaurants, Villa Blanca and Sur where I learned that menu prices have been reduced due to these tough economic times...

Thank you for visiting my site, my name is Lisa but those closest call me Pinky. I have been married for 28 years to my husband Ken Todd, I was snatched from the cradle! We have two children, Pandora 24 and Max 18. Unfortunately for me as I’ve really adored being a mother, my children have grown so I’ve filled my nest with 4 legged furry friends. They are the loves of my life. Jiggy (Gigolo), Lollipop, Pikachu, and Buki make our nest complete.

As you know I am on the show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, this is my first reality show but not my first venture into television. It was quite an experience I can’t tell you too much, but tune in I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

I had an unusual childhood attending a drama school full time from the age of nine! I loved acting in many children’s films and television series when I was growing up. We have lived in London, the English Countryside, South of France, and came back to Beverly Hills 6 years ago. I have great passion for life and I have tried to instill that in my children.

Lisa Vanderpump's Sur Restaurant & Bar

Since returning to the US, I’ve been working in many different arenas. I have opened 2 very successful restaurants with my husband Ken; Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills and SUR in West Hollywood. I have designed all our 26 restaurants, bars, and clubs with my husband over the years and have really enjoyed doing so. My motto in life is find something that you love to do and then you won’t have to work a day in your life. I also write for Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine and spend a lot of time at Epione, where I have developed a serious skin care line with my partner Dr. Simon Ourian.

Most of my clothes are designed by myself in conjunction with my dear friend Christina Makowsky and Alan Del Rosario.

My husband and I are philanthropic and support various charities.
