But Sandy Cubitt, matriarch of the Henderson siblings, was not so sure about the implications of therefore being likened to reality television star Kris Jenner.
''Don't call me her,'' she said, with a laugh.
It takes a bit to keep up with the close-knit family and their various business pursuits in the city which include clothing boutique Slick Willy's, The Perc Cafe, and Moi Design stores.
Over coffee at The Perc in Stuart St and some good-natured banter, their genuine passion for Dunedin, each other and their businesses was obvious - and somewhat infectious.
It was Mrs Cubitt (54) who first ventured into retail when she opened Lillie Langtry's in Mosgiel about 18 years ago, one of the first businesses to cater for recycled label clothing.
Second-youngest daughter Courtney, now 26, had not long started school and she acknowledged it was a ''big deal''.
After a few years of running the ''gorgeous wee store'', it was moved into the city and Mrs Cubitt later left to do interior design for McKenzie and Willis.
Amy Henderson (31) entered retailing immediately after leaving school, when she got a job as a sales assistant at Slick Willy's, which had been established by the late Michael Collins in 1983.
Following his death from cancer, Amy, who had been managing the business for about five years, continued to run it with Michael's wife Jan, until she decided to sell it.
Amy and Sarah (32) purchased Slick Willy's in May 2005, aged 20 and 22 respectively at the time, taking out 100% finance from the bank.
Sarah, who was then working in sales at the Otago Daily Times, said they would not have done it if Amy had not worked there.
''It was all by chance. We weren't out there looking to buy a business,'' she said.
''I couldn't bear the thought of anyone else having it,'' Amy added.
Sarah, the oldest of five siblings, stayed on at the Otago Daily Times, quipping that she would ''never be able to work in fashion''.
''I'm not cool enough,'' she said, laughing.
A year later, she got pregnant and did not want to return to work. But she had always liked The Perc Cafe so she rang the owner and asked if she would sell it.
Her first child, Lucas, was only a few months old when she and Amy bought the cafe in March 2007.
She has since had two more children, Poppy (3) and Charlotte (1).
While Sarah had worked in restaurants while living in Christchurch and Nelson in her late teens, and had a little knowledge of the hospitality industry, it was a learning curve.
''It's completely different working in it and actually buying it. It's taken a long time to get as good as it is now,'' she said.
Courtney, who worked at both Slick Willy's and The Perc when she was younger, headed to Melbourne when she was 21.
She worked in a cafe and then administration, before travelling for six months and then spending several months in London.
She recently returned to Dunedin and has joined her mother in Moi Design.
Mrs Cubitt, who opened the business at St Clair six years ago, had previously been doing interior design and operated a house-dressing business.
It was a gutsy move to open a business during a recession, and it was ''pretty hard'' for the first few years.
But now, it was ''really awesome'' and she was thrilled when customers commented that it was just like a store they would find in Melbourne.
She recently opened a second Moi store in George St, which she owns together with Courtney, and there were plans for a cafe in the front.
It was initially only going to be a pop-up store prior to Christmas, but it had proven so successful she had kept it open.
Her husband Al was also involved in the business.
Son Rhys (28) recently moved back to Dunedin from Melbourne and was working in sales, while youngest daughter Annabelle (16) was still at school and her interest lay in fashion.
''She wants to work for Louis Vuitton ... in Paris. She's set her sights quite high,'' Amy said, laughing.
Mrs Cubitt admitted she was ''very proud'' of her family - ''you'll make me start crying'' - and their achievements.
They were all ''definitely doers''.
''We don't muck around. If something needs done, we do it,'' she said.
With a large, close-knit family, it was a little ''like a village'' and everyone helped each other out, including with child-minding duties, Sarah said.
She did not work lots of hours at The Perc.
Rather, she spent the important hours there, like in the morning when it was particularly busy, and also did work from home.
Family members looked after the children on certain days, so they did not have to go to day-care.
Family members lived in close proximity to each other and they thought being such a tight family unit was the norm.
''Then you meet other people ... other people don't think it's normal how close we are,'' Amy said, laughing.
When Sarah married Patrick Hussey, who works above The Perc in Maui Studios, a few weeks ago, Amy and partner Tim Chapman, a builder, came on their honeymoon.
The siblings and their mother agreed that hard work was the key to being successful in business, as was working in the business.
''People come and want to see you there. If you're there, staff work harder and it's nice to just be part of it.
''At the same time, we enjoy it. I've worked in that store for 13 years. I actually enjoy it almost every day,'' Amy said.
She was grateful for the loyalty of Slick Willy's customers, without whom she would not have a business, she said.
And while they did work hard, they did not work ''crazy hours'' and they had a good balance with their lifestyle, Sarah added.
''Some people think we have gazillions of dollars, but we don't. We have a good life, get paid a good wage,'' Amy said.
When it came to the future, the family was always coming up with ideas for things they would like to do, but the reality was that none of them had the time to do them, she said.
