'Southern Charm': What's Patricia Altschul's net worth? Fans slam 'racist' art collection as she sides with Leva

Patricia reportedly owns the bed 'cruel' Civil War army general Robert E Lee was born in and even has an oil painting of a monkey up in her bedroom

Southern Charmers are tackling with racism after Kathryn Dennis was pulled up for sending a monkey emoji to someone who reached out to her on social media. Ever since then she has been explaining herself and how apologetic she was because her intent was never misplaced.

While she tries to clear her stance, Leva Bonaparte meets with Patricia Altschul along with Madison Lecroy to give live updates about how the pandemic has been affecting her restaurant business and also the whole John C Calhoun statue episode. Leva said it would help if Kathryn would educate herself before she makes any comment about the rampant racism that has gripped the world. Patricia laughs and sides with Leva.   

Meanwhile, fans are convinced she is equally racist. 

"Patricia and Kathryn are equally racist&you can't convince me otherwise. The old bat is just better at hiding it - shes old enough to know not to make those comments publicly. #SouthernCharm," one user expressed, while another shared: "#SouthernCharm Patricia aren’t you the one that owns racist art? Don’t act like we forgot sis." Another wrote, "Great, we’ve called out Kathryn’s racism. Now let’s go ahead and do Patricia. Stop acting like that racist cow is any better. #SouthernCharm."

An All About Tea story has pointed out that Patricia owns the bed Civil War army general Robert E Lee was born in. He was a "cruel" slave owner. She even has an oil painting of a monkey up in her bedroom. A source confirmed the details to the publication. "I’m sure you’re aware of Patricia’s 'negrobilia.' Whitney’s always sure to point out these miniature black lawn jockeys," the source revealed. Although, there's no way to tell what kind of money these things cost, it must have been a fortune. 
 
According to a report published by Celebrity Net Worth, Patricia's net worth is at $20M. She inherited the millions her late husband Arthur left. He was an American banking mogul and was a partner with Goldman Sachs until his death in 2002. Patricia was also a socialite in the Manhattan circuit. Just to give a vague idea about her lifestyle, she serves caviar as snacks to people who come for a quick chat. She also has Michael at her beck and call at all times. He serves her breakfast in bed, attends to her guests and drives her around town. This aside, she is popular in the art community and has a knack for collecting ancient items.
