She continued, “You will get to see a little bit of my brother [on the season] and just know that he is, like, the most awesome, fun-loving, easygoing, caring human being and I’m excited that people get to see that, experience that.”

Who is Taylor’s brother from Southern Charm? Taylor’s brother’s full name is Richard Worthington Green, however, he went by the nickname “Worth.” “Richard Worthington Green, ‘Worth’ as he was known to everyone, age 36, woke up in the arms of Jesus on Thursday, June 8, 2023,” Worth’s obituary read.” Worth was born in Asheville, NC and was the oldest child of Richard C. “Rick” and Leslie Dark Green. He was also the older brother of Catie Green King and her husband, Jim, of Warm Springs, VA and Taylor Ann Green of Charleston, SC.”
According to his obituary, Worth graduaed from Sunhawk Academy in 2005 and East Carolina University in 2009. He lived for a time in South Korea, where he taught English. “Worth was a 2005 graduate of Sunhawk Academy (“Bad Boy Camp” as he liked to call it) and a 2009 graduate of East Carolina University,” his obituary read. “He was a beautiful example of how to live life as fully as possible. His personality was vibrant, outgoing, and loving. Worth never knew a stranger. He had a love for travel which began when he moved to South Korea after college where he taught English as a second language. One of his favorite trips was playing his newfound passion of golf in Ireland with friends.”
His obiturary continued, “Worth was no doubt an adventurer. He loved spending time at Lake James and spent many family and friend gatherings there making beautiful memories.

He was a vivacious and loving son and grandson, and the best big brother to his sisters, always being there as a protector and a cheerleader. Most recently he met the woman he adored and treasured. Caroline brought so much joy to his life. He loved her enough to bring her home to his family and was beginning to plan a future with her by his side. Friends too numerous to name will miss the exuberant love for life that Worth brought to them.”
