On the Bravo network, Southern Charm is one of those guilty pleasures people love to tune into watch. The show has been on for seven seasons, first debuting on March 3, 2014. It follows the life and drama of several socialites who all live in Charleston, S.C. The show lets viewers into the very secret world of politics and Southern culture, as well as old money. 

What makes the show so interesting, beyond the obvious love of drama, is that this circle has been secretive for a long time. You're not let in unless you have money, and we're talking about a lot of money here. The cameras follow along as the rich go about their professional, dating, and family life. Shep Rose is one of two original cast members, and there's still not a whole lot known about his family history 

It's obvious that Shep's family history is rooted in money. According to Showbiz Cheatsheet, Shep's family has lived in South Carolina for a long time. His dad is a lawyer, his grandfather is a successful worker in the steel industry, and the publication also says that his mom's side of the family are full of lawyers, too. His family history isn't a large focus on the show, other than knowing they're a very, very wealthy family and that they have instilled some business sense in him, too.
