Lisa Vanderpump is a British restaurateur, philanthropist, author, actress, and television personality. She is known for her appearances on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
While both of Lisa’s parents were born with non-English surnames, most of her ancestry is English. Lisa’s surname, “Vanderpump”, is said to be Dutch. However, her patrilineal family line has been in England since at least the mid 1700s. Lisa’s mother’s surname, “Hillebrandt”, originates with Lisa’s maternal great-great-great-grandfather, Kristoff “Christopher” Hillebrandt, a German immigrant.
Lisa’s paternal grandparents were Horace Edward Vanderpump (the son of Thomas Jefferson Vanderpump and Jane Elizabeth Boswell) and Kathleen Dimond (the daughter of Edgar Owen Gregory Dimond and Charlotte Frank Smith).
Lisa’s maternal grandparents were Walter Henry Hillebrandt (the son of William Frederick Hillebrandt and Annie Lucy Bradley) and Doris I. Williamson.
