The short answer
Bravo has not published a confirmed per-episode salary for Kathryn Dennis.
The figure most often repeated in reporting is $25,000 per episode. That comes from RadarOnline reporting, later repeated by Celebrity Net Worth and other outlets.
Treat it as a reported figure, not a confirmed pay slip. Reality TV contracts are rarely made public, and rates can change by season, role, and reunion terms.

Why the $600,000-per-episode claim is wrong
The old version of this article opened with the claim that Dennis made $600,000 per episode. No reliable reporting supports that figure as a per-episode rate.
That claim appears to confuse a season total with a per-episode rate. At the widely reported $25,000 per episode, a full season would still fall well below $600,000 per episode, even before any reunion payment is counted.
Do not use $600,000 per episode as her salary. It is not supported by the reporting found for this update.
What $25,000 per episode would mean per season
If the reported $25,000 rate applied to every regular episode in a season, the maths would look like this:
- 10 episodes: $250,000
- 15 episodes: $375,000
- 16 episodes: $400,000
Some reporting also mentions a separate reunion payment, reported at $60,000. That would be in addition to episode pay, not part of the per-episode rate.
These are calculations from a reported rate. They are not proof of what Dennis was paid in any single season, because episode counts, guest appearances, and contract terms varied.
Who is Kathryn Dennis?
Kathryn Dennis is a Charleston, South Carolina, television personality best known for Bravo’s Southern Charm.
The show premiered on Bravo on March 3, 2014. It follows a group of socialites in Charleston.
Dennis first appeared in season 1 in a friend role. She was promoted to a main cast member for season 2, which premiered on March 16, 2015.
She remained a main cast member through season 8. She confirmed her exit in January 2023 and did not return as a main cast member for the seasons that followed.
What else contributed to her income?
Southern Charm was her main television platform, but it was not her only reported income source.
She has also earned money from modelling, social media partnerships, and brand endorsements. The exact amounts from those deals have not been reliably reported, so this article does not put a total on them.
What about her net worth?
Celebrity Net Worth lists an estimated net worth of $800,000 for Dennis.
That is an estimate, not a verified bank balance. Net worth sites use public reports, reported pay, and assumptions, and their figures can differ sharply.
The old article gave three different net worth figures in different sections: $500,000, $1 million, and $800,000. Only one figure is used here, clearly labelled as an estimate, to avoid that contradiction.
