The Southern Charm Cast's Net Worths Have Grown
All the cast members from Southern Charm are making good money on the reality series, but some have been more successful than others when it comes to building their net worths. Shep Rose earned a $1 million net worth in one year, while other cast members might actually be losing money.
18 Craig Conover's Net Worth Is Worth Approximately $400,000
Each cast member on Southern Charm reportedly makes $25,000 per episode, which has helped many of the stars venture out and start their own careers, like Craig Conover.
Conover found his true passion in sewing, and fans have watched him on the show start his pillow line, which has taken off and made him a lot of money.
Even though he finally passed his Bar exam in 2018, he has focused all his attention on his pillow line, called Sewing Down South, and he has even been featured on HSN.
Conover has a net worth of $400,000, which may have been helped by his involvement in another reality TV project, Summer House (though his relationship with Paige DeSorbo, which was still "on" as of May 2023, caused some issues there).
Other Souther Charm cast members with low net worths include Jenna King ($300K),
17 Kathryn Dennis' Net Worth Is $800,000
Kathryn Dennis has been on the reality show since season one and has made a lot of money since then. The star has a net worth of $800,000, which may be surprising to some fans given her wealthy background.
Kathryn is said to have had an inheritance, as well as a gig (and income) on OnlyFans, but she has also spent a lot of money on luxury goods plus fighting her ex in court over custody issues.
16 Austen Kroll's Net Worth Is $1 Million
Austen Kroll's net worth is deceiving because he comes from a well-off family. His father worked for the FBI and his mother was in software sales, and both of his parents also own a second home off the coast of Charleston.
However, fans watched Kroll start his own craft beer company, Kings Calling Brewing Co., which launched in 2019. Though he promotes it, it is yet to be known how much his company is worth.
He also earns money from every episode of the show, and he has been a cast member since season four, although fans have since attempted to block him from appearing on Summer House.
15 Chelsea Meissner's Net Worth Is $1.2 Million
Chelsea Meissner is said to be worth $1.2 million, thanks to her time on Southern Charm, an appearance on Survivor, and her gigs as a stylist, medical salesperson, and more.
14 John Pringle's Net Worth Is $1.5 Million
Another Southern Charm cast member with a $1.5M net worth is John Pringle, whose family has some legacy cash after multiple generations of running the family business. John is also said to be active in the stock market, which could be bolstering his net worth beyond the SC salary.
13 Madison LeCroy's Net Worth Is $1.5 Million
According to Distractify, Madison LeCroy is one of the most sought-after hairstylists in Charleston, South Carolina, and she has definitely earned a lot more clientele after her appearance on the reality show.
Madison LeCroy and her husband Brett Randle have a combined net worth of $2.5 million, with Madison contributing $1.5M of that figure. Thanks to Madison's work ethic as a stylist, makeup artist, and more, plus her husband's career as an account manager at Nike, the two are sitting pretty.
12 Cameran Eubanks' Net Worth Is $1.5 Million
Cameran Eubanks was a big part of Southern Charm and was really one of the few cast mates who had a real job. Eubanks was working as a real estate agent on the show, but her $1.5 million net worth could have come from her other work in entertainment.
Eubanks appeared on The Real World, Real World/Road Rules Challenges, and hosted Girls Gone Wild segments. She is also married to a doctor named Jason. The reality star said goodbye to the show after rumors were circulating that her husband had cheated on her.
11 Taylor Ann Green's Net Worth Is Over $1 Million
It's unclear exactly how much Taylor Ann Green is worth, but it's said to be somewhere between $1 million and $5 million; most sources claim $1.5 million is the magic number.
Most famous on the show for her relationship with Shep Rose, Green took a gig in an orthodontics office, though she also appears to be a paid social media influencer, too.
10 Marcie Hobbs' Net Worth Is About $2 Million
Marcie Hobbs is said to be worth about $2 million, earning said income from both her acting gigs (outside of Southern Charm, too) and her work as a real estate agent.
9 Landon Clements' Net Worth Is $3 Million
Landon Clements' net worth is $3 million, most of which may very well stem from her time on Southern Charm. However, Clements also works as a real estate agent in the luxury Los Angeles market.
8 Eliza Limehouse's Net Worth Is $3 Million
Eliza Limehouse only spent two seasons on Southern Charm before retiring from reality TV, but she's generated an impressive net worth nonetheless. Eliza got married in 2020, had a baby, and seems to be benefiting from her family's wealth stemming from multiple inns they own.
7 Naomie Olindo's Net Worth Is $3.5 Million
Naomie Olindo joined the cast of Southern Charm after dating Craig Conover during the third season. Olindo also launched a clothing line that contributes to her net worth.
6 Leva Bonaparte's Net Worth Is $3.6 Million
Leva Bonaparte joined the cast of Southern Charm for its latest season, becoming the first person of color to be cast on the show. Bonaparte and her husband Lamar Bonaparte are wealthy in their own right, owning several high-end restaurants, bars, and lounges.
Her appearance on the show will now be added income to the $3.6 million net worth she shares with her husband. The couple also owns Republic Development Management Group and the southern restaurants, Republic Garden & Lounge, and Bourbon and Bubbles.
5 Shep Rose's Net Worth Is Currently $5 Million
Shep Rose was the ultimate bachelor and playboy of the show, who didn't appear to have anything really going for him and lacked a steady job. Like his other cast mates, Shep came from a wealthy family, with his parents settling in an exclusive part of South Carolina known as Hilton Head Island.
Throughout the show, Shep never really worked, but Slice reported that the reality star has invested in bars and real estate. His net worth comes in at $5 million, having jumped a full million dollars between 2022 and 2023.
4 Thomas Ravenel's Net Worth Is $6 Million
Thomas Ravenel has stirred tons of controversy on Southern Charm, but he was kicked off after season five when he was arrested for assault and battery in the second degree. He also wound up breaking things off with his fiancée Heather Moscoe, though that was seemingly unrelated to his assault charges.
While the show definitely boosted Ravenel's popularity and gave him a few extra bucks, the disgraced politician has legacy money; Ravenel has a net worth of $6 million. His father is Arthur Ravenel Jr., who used to be a Republican senator and congressman, and he is also "an eighth-generation descendent of French Huguenots."
3 Sonja Morgan's Net Worth Is $8 Million
Sonja Morgan's net worth is somewhat up in the air; she's said to be worth $8 million, but the Southern Charm and Real Housewives of New York cast member was once $20 million in debt following a divorce and bankruptcy.
It's unclear how Sonja earned back that money, or whether her net worth figure is accurate, as of 2023.
2 Whitney Sudler-Smith's Net Worth Is $12 Million
Whitney Sudler-Smith has been behind the scenes working as an executive producer of Southern Charm until 2016 and has been on the show for every season so far.
Sudler-Smith is one cast member that comes from old money. His mother, Patricia Altschul, who is also on Southern Charm, married Wall Street mogul, Arthur Altschul. Whitney Sudler-Smith's net worth can also be attributed to his career as a producer, as well as other acting gigs.
1 Patricia Altschul Is The Richest Southern Charm Cast Member With A $100 Million Net Worth
By far, the wealthiest cast member of Southern Charm is Patricia Altschul who has a net worth of $100 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Altschul was married to the late Arthur Altschul, who was a partner at Goldman Sachs Group; the couple was known as New York City socialites.
Besides the extra income from the show, she launched her own home decor line and published a book titled, The Art of Southern Charm.
Over the course of a year, Patricia Altschul more than doubled her net worth thanks to her involvement as a socialite, art collector, and reality TV personality. Her connections with brands and work on Southern Charm really paid off—although many were skeptical of her true relationship with her son Whitney.
