Meet Ken Todd’s son Warren Todd: Age, Height, Wife, Net Worth

Distinguished property tycoon Warren Todd, is also widely acknowledged for being the son of Ken Todd and the stepson of Lisa Vanderpump, both prominent British entrepreneurs and reality television stars. His sharp business decisions and strategic investments have played a substantial role in establishing his reputation within the real estate industry. However, Ken has been the subject of controversy too, due to his personal life thrusting him into the spotlight, particularly following his decision to end a marriage of over 30 years, and pursue a relationship with a younger woman he encountered at a gym.

Early Life, Family, and the Family Business

Warren Bradley Todd born on 21 April 1966, in England, is the son of British parents Ken and Pamela who were quite young when he was born, and went through a divorce after a couple of years together. At the time of Warren’s birth, Ken was only 21 years old, while Pamela was  described as a child bride, still a teenager.

From Meager to Comfortable Home

His father, known for his hard work, held multiple jobs to provide for Warren and his parents, and slowly improved their living conditions paving the way for a more comfortable life. Warren’s grandmother played a supportive role during tough times, contributing to his upbringing as a respectful and decent young man.

Getting a Stepmother

Ken Todd married again in 1982, this time to Lisa Vanderpump, who is 16 years younger than him. Through their tenacity, diligence, and business acumen, the couple built a luxurious life together, establishing a successful chain of restaurants and bars, among other ventures. Warren, growing up under their watchful eyes, experienced a childhood filled with love alongside his half-siblings, Pandora and Max. Lisa said that she was aware of the narrow age gap between herself and her stepson – Warren was 15 years old when they met and she only 21 – and so made it a point to treat him as a friend. She said, ‘Warren is very much his (father’s) son — ambitious, incredibly family oriented, and someone to be proud of.’

Initially gaining recognition through her roles in “Baywatch” and the reality TV show “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (RHOBH) broadcast on Bravo TV, Lisa quickly became a beloved personality; her popularity led to a spin-off series, “Vanderpump Rules.” After completing nine seasons on RHOBH, Lisa made a significant life choice by relocating to the UK to raise her children away from the Hollywood spotlight.

This decision not only marked a departure from the intense world of reality TV, but also provided the Todd family with a breath of fresh air, reducing the controversies that had surrounded them. Lisa’s move allowed the family a more private and tranquil life away from the constant scrutiny of the media.

The Restaurant Business

In the 1990s, Ken Todd and Lisa made a significant move to Los Angeles, aiming to carve their niche in the local restaurant industry. As the business flourished, Lisa, known for her acting career, shifted her focus entirely to the restaurant venture alongside Ken. Contrary to public perception, it was revealed in an interview that Ken was the more impulsive investor, while Lisa assumed a more conservative approach.

Their success, as they explained, stemmed from a clear understanding of their respective roles, and how their personalities complemented each other. Despite Warren Todd’s first-hand knowledge of the intricacies of the food industry, he chose to forge his own path in real estate. This decision did not signify a lack of interest in the family business, as Warren has also made investments in the restaurant ventures, showcasing a continued connection to the culinary enterprises established by his father and stepmother.

Warren’s Relationship with His Mother

Initially, there were perceptions of Warren having a distant relationship with his mother, Pamela, however, it was later revealed that she visited him periodically during his upbringing. The specifics of when these visits occurred may not be clear, but it’s evident that their relationship was closer than initially perceived. This speculation wasn’t surprising, given that Ken was granted full custody of Warren at the age of two. Additionally, Pamela later remarried to the late 1960s singer Malcolm Roberts.

Guarded His Privacy Amidst the Reality TV Scrutiny

For a considerable period, Warren’s parents shielded him from the watchful eyes of the media, particularly as they delved deeper into the entertainment industry. His stepmother, initially less active in the acting scene, experienced a significant shift when she joined the reality TV show “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” from 2010 to 2019. Subsequently, Lisa and Ken became focal points of numerous articles. For three seasons of the show, Warren’s stepmom managed to reveal nothing about him and his family.

Spotlight on Warren

In 2013, reporters discovered Warren and his whereabouts, and he eventually made appearances in the show, offering glimpses of his opulent home to the public. This marked a departure from the family’s earlier efforts to shield their private lives from the intense scrutiny that often accompanies reality television. The interest in their family eased a little when his stepmother left the show. However, as the family business took center stage in the reality TV series “Vanderpump Rules,” they once again attracted widespread attention.

Involvement in “Vanderpump Rules”

Both Warren’s father and stepmother, Ken and Lisa, are credited as executive producers of “Vanderpump Rules.” This reality TV show centers around Lisa and the dynamic crew working within three of their highly successful restaurants: Tom Tom Restaurant & Bar, SUR Restaurant & Lounge, and Pump Restaurant, all situated in prime California locations. Ken would show up to assist Lisa whenever she couldn’t handle the problems overwhelmed her. Given the familial ties to the business, it was only natural for the Todd family to make appearances in various episodes of the show. The intertwining of their personal and professional lives adds a unique dimension to the narrative, offering viewers a glimpse into the dynamics of a family deeply rooted in the restaurant and entertainment industries.

Education

There is no available information about Warren Todd’s educational journey.

Career

Warren is widely recognized as a prosperous real estate tycoon, boasting substantial ownership of high-value properties across prime locations in the UK. Despite maintaining a low-key profile and avoiding public discussions about his investments and career path, he garnered individual attention when embroiled in the Portobello Road market dispute.

Early Beginnings

Influenced by his father’s diligent climb to success, Warren harbored a childhood dream of becoming a businessman. While the exact details of his initial career steps remain elusive, public records and company information indicate his early professional journey. From 1992, he worked at Urban Eager Limited for two years before brief stints at Mileminster Ltd. and LTC Apartments. In 1994, Warren assumed the role of a company director and company secretary at Holland Park Investments, holding the latter position until 2009.

Further Success

Warren later founded the Portobello Group, emerging as the largest landowner in the Portobello Road area of London. In 2009, his group’s modernization plans faced opposition from those aiming to preserve the area’s authenticity. Warren countered, asserting that his company was wrongly politicized and refuted what his critics said. In a press statement released then, he said, ‘The attempts to suggest that my company has sinister plans for redeveloping our arcades on the Portobello Road into mass retail outlets are totally unfounded.’

In 2023, local protests erupted again when plans surfaced for a new restaurant to replace a longstanding antiques arcade in Kensington Park Road, with residents asserting the need to protect the primarily residential area. He was called a selfish, shameless, greedy pig by some local residents. Just as in 2009, Warren was accused of intimidating old store owners who were against his “modernization plans” by banning them to step inside the close to 20 stores that they owned in the area. Their main complaint was that it was a repeat of what had happened before, when Warren’s group promised to give the area a high-end luxurious atmosphere in the market, but what Portobello Group actually built were tacky stalls selling food such as crepes and souvenir items.

Despite encountering challenges in real estate and property development, Warren has demonstrated resilience and innovation in achieving his goals.

Other Business Ventures

Warren has diversified his portfolio with ventures in restaurant management, real estate, veterinary services, and more. He serves as a director of numerous property-related companies, boasting involvement in over 50 businesses. Co-owning enterprises such as Body Roller UK, Barbly Studios Ltd., JW Northcote, and Portobello Rum Trading, Warren continues to make a mark in various industries with his astute business acumen.

Personal Life

Beyond his professional achievements, Warren Todd’s personal life has been the subject of public attention. His marriage to Sue Vanner, a renowned James Bond girl known for her iconic role in “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977), lasted for over three decades. The couple met through Warren’s stepmother, Lisa, who was a close friend of the sultry actress. The sparks between Warren and Sue were immediate, leading to their marriage in 1987. Despite a significant age gap of 16 years, their love endured, and they welcomed a son named Ryan James Todd in 1991.

The longevity of Warren and Sue’s relationship garnered admiration. However, in a surprising turn of events in their 32nd year of marriage, in 2019 Sue filed for divorce. The revelation pointed to Warren’s mid-life crisis, and an affair with a younger woman, Ania Mary Hoppner, who became pregnant with his child.

Initially attempting to salvage the marriage, Sue eventually conceded as Warren chose to be with his younger lover. The divorce proceedings took an interesting turn, as Sue enlisted the services of the prestigious King Charles’ divorce legal firm Payne Hicks Beach, known for representing high-profile clients such as Paul McCartney in their divorce settlements. The existence of a prenuptial agreement remains unconfirmed, leaving room for speculation about potential courtroom drama.

The 57-year-old Warren Todd has since relocated from their opulent Holland Park home, and is now living with Ania. Alongside Ania’s daughter, Eden, from a previous relationship, Warren and Ania share two children, Tristan Lion and Sacha Lejon. His son with Sue earned his bachelor’s degree from Exeter University, and has been registered as Company Director in close to 30 companies.

The unfolding chapters of Warren’s personal life continue to captivate public interest.
