Yes, Pandora Vanderpump-Sabo is still working for Lisa Vanderpump. The Vanderpump Rules boss has employed her daughter, Pandora, and son, Max Vanderpump-Todd, at her many restaurants and businesses over the years, and she is still keeping things within the family today.
Lisa exclusively spoke with The Daily Dish in November, where she opened up about Pandora’s current role in the restaurant empire that she shares with her husband, Ken Todd. “Pandora’s very, very involved in the business,” she explained.
“So my daughter’s very involved,” she continued, opening up about Pandora’s role in their non-profit organization, The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, which launched in 2016 to improve the well-being of dogs around the world. “She runs my 501c3 at the Vanderpump Dog Foundation, which is a huge undertaking. We’re having our gala in a minute.”
“I see her, I rely on her because she’s an incredible businesswoman, and to me, I’m very proud of that,” she noted. “The fact that she treats people with kindness, but she rules with an iron fist, and I’m proud of that as a young woman.”
And Lisa could see her taking over the family business, eventually. “Yeah, she’ll definitely step into my shoes,” she concluded.
Over the years, Pandora has also been involved in her family’s portfolio of brands, including the Vanderpump Wines company as well as with their restaurants.Â

Lisa Vanderpump opens up about Pandora and Max’s work ethic
Max and Pandora’s hard work is just one of the skills that she instilled in them from a young age. She elaborated on this, noting to “believe in kids.” “If you spoil them, they end up spoiled. So it’s that simple,” she said.

“I don’t mean spoil them materially,” she continued. “Of course, my kids grew up with a very privileged life, but I believe in hard work, so yeah, I didn’t give them everything. I made them work for it. And I think starting washing dishes is a great place to start.”
