In a recent Southern Charm episode, Jupiter Island Club was mentioned by Shep Rose and his cousin Marcie Hobb, and fans are curious to know more about the exclusive resort. Shep has been a mainstay of Southern Charm since season 1 and showed fans a glimpse into his life as one of Charleston, South Carolina’s bachelors.

Patricia seemed to know about Jupiter Island Club and Marcie later revealed in a confessional that the club was very exclusive and members not only had to have money, but they had to have a legacy to be admitted. Marcie explained that her ancestor Columbus Cummings built the railroads in Chicago and sold them to Vanderbilt, which was how he built his fortune.
