Bravo is no stranger when it comes to reality television! The network is responsible for some of the best shows from Real Housewives, Vanderpump Rules all the way to Southern Charm. The show first aired back in 2014 and has been on for eight successful seasons, showcasing the lives of Charleston's most affluent social circles. While fans have questioned whether the show is real or fake, one thing we know for sure is that the cast is RICH!
Although the cast has changed quite a bit from season one to now, the glitz and glam that they deliver each and every episode certainly has not. Viewers know that the Southern Charm cast is among some of the richest stars on Bravo's payroll, but just how much are they all worth, and better yet, who is the wealthiest? Let's find out!
Updated on November 30, 2022: Southern Charm wrapped its eighth season in October of this year. Throughout 2022, two cast members encountered incredible growth in their net worths. Patricia Alschul, who was already the wealthiest star at the beginning of the year, has doubled her total over the months. Whitney Sudler-Smith is the other TV personality that saw an incredible rise in new wealth.
10 Patricia Altschul Is Worth $100 Million
When it comes to the wealthiest cast member, Patricia Altschul takes the cake! The Southern Charm star is worth a whopping $100 million. While she's got the show to thank for her newfound fame, she's always had the fortune.
Patricia was married to Arthur Altschul, a mogul in the world of Wall Street. After his passing, Patricia inherited the family fortune, which will later go to the show creator and Patricia's son, Whitney.
9 Whitney Sudler-Smith Has A $12 Million Net Worth
Whitney Sudler-Smith is without a doubt the glue that held the Southern Charm cast together. While Smith may no longer be part of the show, he is, in fact, the creator! Therefore, not only does he still play a major role behind the scenes, but that also means he's got a lot of money in the bank... a $12 million net worth, to be exact.
8 Shep Rose Has A Net Worth Of $4 Million
Shep Rose is easily one of the biggest names to come from Southern Charm. He has certainly found himself as the series heartthrob and is regarded as one of the most handsome Bravo celebs, and rightfully so. Despite Shep constantly being seen as the "playboy" type, he has managed to do quite well for himself. The star is worth $4 million, most of which he's made from the show, along with his many real estate investments that have clearly done right by him.
7 Leva Bonaparte's Net Worth Is Roughly $3.6 Million
Leva Bonaparte is truly the definition of a boss. The star is worth quite a lot, $3.6 million to be exact, which is among the highest of the cast. Both she and her husband, Lamar Bonaparte, own many high-end restaurants, bars, and lounges across the city of Charleston, which include both Republic Garden & Lounge and Bourbon & Bubble, says Slice. As if that wasn't enough, Leva also owns Republic Development Management Group, which further proves just how business savvy she is!
In addition to his own $12 million net worth, Whitney is son to Patricia and Arthur Altschul, who are massive names when it comes to Wall Street, proving just how much wealth he comes from.
6 John Pringle Is Worth $1.5 Million
John Pringle has quite the name, and he's also got quite the bank account. The Southern Charm cast member is worth an impressive $1.5 million and it's all thanks to his work in the stock market. While Pringle comes from a commodity business-oriented family, the star makes most of his coin as an energy trader. In addition to his passion for stocks, Pringle is also a massive music buff, so much so that he's even released a number of albums.
5 Madison LeCroy Has A $1.5 Million Net Worth
There is no denying what Madison LeCroy brings to the show, from comedic moments to rumors. She has the glitz and the glam, so it's no surprise that she has managed to not only make a name for herself as one of Charleston's most sought after hairstylists, but she's managed to amass a net worth of $1.5 million doing so.
Despite her work ethic, LeCroy found herself in quite the scandal when it was revealed that she and former MLB player, Alexander Rodriguez, allegedly had an affair. A-Rod immediately shut the rumors down, as did Madison during this season's reunion.
4 Austen Kroll's Net Worth Is $1 Million
Austen Kroll has always been about the fun, which he's managed to bring to each and every season. The star has most likely inherited most of his wealth through his family, who worked for the FBI and software sales.
While he has held a position as Territory Sales Manager for Red Hare Brewing Company, it appears as if the national average salary for the role is $64,000. So, much like the rest of the cast, Kroll has earned his $1 million net worth through the show and of course, mom and dad.
3 Kathryn Dennis Has An $800,000 Net Worth
Kathryn Dennis is quite the personality, one that definitely causes controversy! The star has a current net worth of $800,000, however, fans are slightly confused as to how she can be worth so much. Prior to joining the show, Dennis was a small market model who later held a retail position at a department store in Charleston.
This led fans to believe that she isn't worth as much as we think, however, when you take into consideration her social media endorsements and Souther Charm salary, she appears to be doing quite alright for herself.
2 Naomie Olindo's Net Worth Is Approximately $500,000
Naomie Olindo first appeared on Southern Charm back in 2016 during the show's third season. While fans are still a little confused over what Olindo does for a living, it's become clear that she's got quite a lot of money. Naomie is currently worth $500,000, however, she has made most of her money through inheritance, as has most of the cast.
Despite where she gets her money, Naomie has also made a name for herself after launching her own fashion line called L'ABEYE, which she claims was inspired by her father's entrepreneurial spirits.
1 Craig Conover Has A Net Worth Of $400,000
Craig Conover has easily become one of the most-liked cast members on the show, and rightfully so! While the star is an attorney by trade, Conover made a big move in his life to shift from law to pillows.
Craig's pillow line, Sewing Down South, has allowed him to not only make a name for himself in the world of business but amass a net worth of $400,000. Not only was the move over to the pillow industry a smart one, it actually managed to make Craig more than what he would have earned as a lawyer, says Slice.
