Uncovering JT Thomas' Charleston Real Estate Empire

How former Southern Charm star JT Thomas built wealth in Charleston's real estate market.

J
T Thomas may be gone from Southern Charm, but his mark remains. The self-proclaimed "Napoleon legend" made waves in Season 9 with his strong opinions and a memorable fight with Austen Kroll. However, in Season 10, fans are seeing a new side of JT - the hustler.

    So, how did this man with a silver spoon earn his money? JT's passion for historic homes is evident in his luxury property, The Inns, which he built from scratch and boasts Charleston brick design and high-end finishes. With eight other properties under his belt, including a collection of Airbnbs in downtown Charleston, JT has diversified his portfolio.

    JT credits his mother, a top interior designer, with teaching him the ropes of real estate investing and renovation. He's made a name for himself as a developer and renovator, and The Inns is one of his most valuable assets, hosting up to 120 guests and commanding prices ranging from $2,500 to $179 per night.

    Despite JT's claims that he doesn't identify as rich, his properties suggest otherwise. With a Bravo paycheck and rental income from his luxury properties, JT has likely earned at least six figures. His decision to leave Southern Charm may have been a planned exit, but it won't affect his financial stability.

    Between renting out his properties, dabbling in merchandise, and building event spaces, JT proves that business is his true passion. As he moves on from the show, fans can expect to see more of his entrepreneurial ventures.
