Bravo is no stranger when it comes to reality television. The network is responsible for some of the best shows from Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules all the way to Southern Charm. The show first aired back in 2014 and has been on for 10 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 December 2024: Southern Charm is currently in its tenth season. Here’s where the cast, including new castmembers Molly O’Connell and Salley Carson, lands on a ranking of net worths.
12 Patricia Altschul Is Worth Around $100 Million
When it comes to the wealthiest cast member, Patricia Altschul takes the cake. The Southern Charm star is estimated to be 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.
11 Whitney Sudler-Smith Has An Estimated $12 Million Net Worth
Whitney Sudler-Smith is without a doubt the glue that held the Southern Charm cast together. While Whitney may no longer be a regular castmember, he is, in fact, the show’s 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… an estimated $12 million net worth, to be exact.
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.
10 Shep Rose Has An Estimated Net Worth Of $5 Million
Shep Rose is easily one of the biggest names to come from Southern Charm. Despite Shep constantly being seen as the “playboy” type, he has managed to do quite well for himself. The star is worth an estimated $5 million, some of which he made from the show, but most of which comes from his wealthy family. Showbiz CheatSheet reported that Shep’s family is old money.
“His mom and dad, Fran and William Rose, moved to Hilton Head Island—one of the most exclusive parts of the state—when he was just a toddler. William is a lawyer in the area while his father–Shep’s grandfather–was a successful businessman in the steel industry. His mom’s side of the family also practices law, so nobody in the Rose household has ever been in want of money.”
9 Leva Bonaparte’s Net Worth Is Roughly $3.6 Million
Leva Bonaparte is truly the definition of a boss. The star is said to be worth quite a lot, approximately $3 million, 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 N’ Bubbles. As if that wasn’t enough, Leva also owns Republic Hospitality Group, which further proves just how business-savvy she is.
Leva also stars on a spin-off at one of her establishments, Southern Hospitality, which premiered in 2022.
8 Madison LeCroy Has An Estimated $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.
Madison has been married to Brett Randle since 2022.
7 Austen Kroll’s Net Worth Is Approximately $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.
Much like the rest of the cast, Kroll has earned his $1 million net worth through the show and of course, mom and dad.
6 Taylor Ann Green Is Estimated To Be Worth Between $1 Million-$5 Million
Taylor Ann Green joined Southern Charm in Season 7 as Shep Rose’s girlfriend. The two broke up, but Taylor remains on the show. StyleCaster estimates Taylor’s net worth to be somewhere in the ballpark of $1 million to $5 million.
5 Jarrett “JT” Thomas Is Estimated To Be Worth $1 Million
Jarrett “JT” Thomas first appeared on Southern Charm on Season 8, but he revealed that Season 10 will be his last. JT has made his money in real estate, as BravoTV reported: “JT explained in an interview, ‘One of my core businesses is a collection of Airbnbs in Downtown Charleston, and that’s why a couple of years ago I actually made Charleston my full-time home.'”
4 Rodrigo Reyes Is Estimated To Be Worth $1 Million
Rodrigo Reyes, an interior designer, joined Southern Charm in Season 9. StyleCaster estimates his net worth to be in the $1 million range.
3 Craig Conover Has A Net Worth Of Approximately $1 Million
Craig Conover, who made the move from law to creating his own pillow and homewares line, Sewing Down South, a wildly popular brand that has allowed him to not only make a name for himself in the world of business but amass a net worth of approximately $1 milllion.
Craig recently opened a bar and restaurant in Charleston called By The Way with co-star, Austen Kroll. He also recently broke up with fellow Bravo-lebrity, Paige DeSorbo, after three years of dating.
2 Venita Aspen’s Net Worth Is Roughly $500k
Venita Aspen joined Southern Charm as a friend-of during Season 7, but she’s been a main cast member since Season 8. She’s an influencer who, according to StyleCaster, can easily command up to $1 million for brand deals.
1 Molly O’Connell and Salley Carson’s Net Worth Are Unknown
