What is Craig Conover's net worth and salary?
Craig Conover is a well-known American attorney and reality TV star, boasting a net worth of $1 million. He gained fame as a cast member of Bravo's "Southern Charm," a role he has held since 2014, earning $25,000 for each episode he appears in.
Early Life and Business
Born in 1989 in Fenwick Island, Delaware, Craig was a naturally athletic child with dreams of playing college baseball, but an elbow injury changed his path. He hails from a sports-oriented family; his brother excelled as an all-American soccer player at Roanoke College, while his father was an all-American lacrosse player at Salisbury University, and his mother was a champion gymnast.
Craig graduated from the College of Charleston in South Carolina in 2009 and later obtained his law degree from the Charleston School of Law in 2014, although he faced challenges in passing the bar exam. He initially worked as a law clerk at the Akim Anastopoulo Law Firm, a well-known personal injury practice in Charleston, but was eventually let go from that position.
Conover gained popularity as one of the original stars of "Southern Charm," a reality series that showcases the lives of Charleston, South Carolina's social elite. His transformation from a law student to a thriving entrepreneur has been highlighted during the show's airing. Although he faced some backlash early on regarding his professional challenges, he ultimately achieved success with his home goods brand, Sewing Down South, which he started in 2018.
The company started out focusing on pillows but has since broadened its offerings to include a variety of home décor products, boasting several retail locations in Charleston. What began as a hobby in sewing, which was initially teased on the show, transformed into a thriving business and personal brand.
Personal Life
In his personal life, Conover had a significant relationship with co-star Naomie Olindo from 2015 to 2017. He later entered a relationship with Paige DeSorbo, a star from Summer House, in 2021. Outside of his television and business pursuits, Conover wrote a memoir titled "Pillow Talk: What's Wrong With My Sewing?" (2022), which chronicles his evolution from reality TV star to entrepreneur.
He is also recognized for his advocacy efforts, especially in supporting underprivileged children in legal situations. When he's not busy with work or enjoying time with friends, Greg dedicates his time to a charitable organization as a Guardian Ad Litem, assisting underprivileged children and their families. In this capacity, Craig represents children who have been removed from their homes by social services due to abuse or neglect.
Real Estate
In September 2017, Craig purchased a 2,000-square-foot house in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, for $460,000. Currently, the value of this home is approximately $900,000.
