Updated Jan. 17 2024, 12:33 p.m. ET
Close friends with Cameran Eubanks, Craig Conover, and the other stars appearing on Southern Charm, Shep Rose garnered immense popularity thanks to his innate ability to lighten up the mood and pepper conversations with unforgettable witticisms.
His puppy-like charm and easygoing disposition have certainly helped Shep earn a great deal of success among the ladies — but what about other facets of his life? Does the Bravo star have a job? What does he do for a living?
What does Shep Rose do for a living? Does Shep have a college degree?
Born in 1980 in Hilton Head Island, S.C., Shep has created an impressive portfolio as a media personality and celeb, having appeared on Southern Charm, Summer House, and Vanderpump Rules. In terms of networking opportunities, Shep has little to complain about. He moves in the same circles as Kristin Cavallari, Kathryn Dennis, and others. But what does Shep do when he is not busy shooting a TV show?
Shep has a sizable net worth (more on that later!), which he amassed thanks to the combination of old-fashioned hustle and strong connections. After concluding his studies at the University of Georgia (where he got a business degree) and the Owen Graduate School of Management (where he got his MBA), Shep launched a career as a businessman.
He followed the example set by his grandfather, once the president of Armco Steel. For a while, Shep focused his efforts on real estate investments. He co-opened the Palace Hotel, a fashionable eatery in downtown Charleston, in 2014. The Palace Hotel remains a popular jaunt among locals and out-of-towners alike. Working as a restaurateur is just one of the things Shep has in common with his Southern Charm co-star Leva Bonaparte.
Shep, who also co-owns the Charleston bar-restaurant the Commodore and the bowling alley the Alley, attracted considerable media attention in 2019 because of his enviable real estate portfolio. According to Bravo, he had an estimated $900,000 in property investments at the time.
Shep Rose has also made efforts to diversify his output as a media personality.
In addition to Southern Charm, which he has appeared on since day one, Shep — who launched a clothing line called Shep Gear in 2016 — also created Shepic Fail, a TV mini-series in which he starred alongside Hunter Gardner, and RelationShep, a TV show chronicling Shep's search for the right woman.
What's more, Shep is the author of Average Expectations: Lessons in Lowering the Bar, which came out in 2021.
What is Shep Rose's net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Shep has an estimated net worth of $5 million. The outlet also reports that his salary for Southern Charm is $25,000 per episode.
What will Shep get up to next? We'll just have to wait and see!
