Craig Conover’s net worth is estimated at $1 million, a figure that understates the scale of his business activities. The 37-year-old Bravo personality, licensed attorney, and entrepreneur is the co-founder of Sewing Down South, a home goods company that reached an eight-figure valuation by 2023, along with a restaurant, a production company, and investment stakes in a nationally distributed beverage brand. Conover has been a central cast member of Southern Charm since the show’s debut in 2014, making him one of the franchise’s longest-running personalities.
Updated March 2026: According to Yahoo Entertainment and entertainment industry tracking, Craig Conover’s personal net worth is estimated at approximately $1 million, reflecting the fact that he owns one-third of Sewing Down South — not the full enterprise — and that his other ventures are still in growth stages. His total income streams from television, business, and investments are substantially larger than this figure suggests.
Craig Conover was born on February 9, 1989, in Fenwick Island, Delaware, to Craig Conover Sr., an entrepreneur, and Martha “Marty” Foster Conover, a teacher. He has a younger brother, Christopher. Conover attended Selbyville Middle School and Indian River High School in Delaware, where he won a national business competition — an early indication of the entrepreneurial instincts he would later deploy on and off screen.
Conover enrolled at the College of Charleston, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 2010. He then attended the Charleston School of Law, completing his coursework but delaying his degree submission due to a thesis requirement that became a recurring storyline on Southern Charm‘s early seasons. He ultimately submitted his thesis and received his Juris Doctor in 2014. Despite earning his law degree, he failed multiple attempts at the South Carolina Bar examination before finally passing in February 2018, as reported by Bravo TV. He opened Craig Conover Law Firm in 2021 but has focused the majority of his professional energy on his business ventures.
Craig Conover’s public career began with Southern Charm Season 1 in 2014. The Bravo reality series follows a group of young professionals and social figures in Charleston, South Carolina, and has run for 11 seasons as of 2026. Conover is one of two original cast members still appearing in Season 11, alongside Shep Rose. The show airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
His estimated television salary is approximately $25,000 per episode, a figure reported across multiple entertainment outlets. At 17 episodes per season, that represents roughly $425,000 per season before taxes and fees. Season 11, which concluded in March 2026, included a reunion filmed February 4, 2026, and featured a prominent storyline around Conover’s romantic involvement with newcomer Charley Manley and his ongoing feud with co-star Austen Kroll, per Bravo’s Daily Dish.
The cornerstone of Conover’s business empire is Sewing Down South, a home goods and lifestyle brand he founded in 2019 from his Charleston dining room, beginning with decorative pillows. By 2023, the company had reached an eight-figure valuation and entered into retail partnerships with Kroger, HSN, HomeGoods, and Belk, employing 30 staff members with health insurance and operating physical stores in both Charleston and Nashville. Conover owns one-third of the business, with co-founders Jerry Casselano and Amanda Latifi holding the remaining shares, per Entertainment Now. In spring 2025, he launched a European-themed summer collection featuring floral and lemon motifs, hosted at Charleston’s Emeline Hotel.

Conover’s personal net worth reflects his one-third ownership stake in Sewing Down South and the early stages of his broader business portfolio, rather than the full enterprise value of the businesses he has helped build.
Craig Conover is single as of March 2026. He was in a highly publicized relationship with reality TV personality and Summer House cast member Paige DeSorbo from 2021 to November 2024. Their breakup became a significant storyline in Southern Charm Season 11. During Season 11, Conover pursued a romantic connection with newcomer Charley Manley, which ended at the season finale’s Carolina Day party when Charley told him she saw him only as a friend following a confrontation in Puerto Vallarta, per Decider.
Conover has stated publicly that he wants to start a family and has spoken about adjusting to single life at 37. He has expressed at various points the possibility of leaving Southern Charm, most recently hinting during the Season 11 reunion period that he has considered a show exit. He remains connected to Charleston’s social and business scene and participates in philanthropic work through Pillows for a Purpose, which donates pillows and bedding to hospitals and shelters, and supports Hope for the Warriors, a veteran-focused non-profit. His connections in the reality TV world include fellow cast members and personalities like Lisa Vanderpump, Kandi Burruss, and Scott Disick.
Craig Conover’s net worth is estimated at approximately $1 million as of 2026, per Yahoo Entertainment and other industry trackers. This personal figure reflects his ownership stake in Sewing Down South and income from Southern Charm, but does not capture the full enterprise value of the businesses he co-owns with partners.
Sewing Down South reached an eight-figure valuation — meaning at least $10 million — by the time of the Southern Charm Season 9 reunion in 2023, as Craig Conover disclosed to Andy Cohen on air. Conover owns one-third of the company, with the remaining two-thirds split between co-founders Jerry Casselano and Amanda Latifi. The company operates retail stores in Charleston and Nashville, and sells through Kroger, HSN, HomeGoods, and Belk, employing 30 staff per Entertainment Now.
Craig Conover appears in Southern Charm Season 11, which aired in early 2026 on Bravo with new episodes on Wednesdays at 9/8c. Season 11 was one of the more drama-filled entries in the series, featuring Conover’s breakup storyline, a feud with Austen Kroll, and a love triangle involving Salley Carson and newcomer Charley Manley. Conover has hinted about a possible exit from the show but has not formally announced any departure as of March 2026.
