Fans may be surprised to know that the "Southern Charm" cast has to work hard for their money — and tenure doesn't help all that much regarding pay. According to a report from Screen Rant, the main cast members on "Southern Charm" each get paid the same amount of $25,000 per episode. Season 7 of "Southern Charm" featured 13 episodes, while season 12 had 16, which means the cast members each earned around $325,000 and $400,000 for those two seasons.
The salary used to be even lower. In 2019, Radar Online reported that "Southern Charm" was in "crisis mode" due to the unexpected departure of longtime star Thomas Ravenel, so the main cast members were each given a pay raise of $5,000 per episode to give it their all that season. "Season 7 is a do or die season for the show, they have to deliver," an insider said at the time.
The cast did deliver, and "Southern Charm" was renewed for season 8 with an expanded cast.
