Radio superstar Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has opened up about the “embarrassment” she feels as a woman with wealth in a candid new interview on Stellar’s Something To Talk About podcast.
The 48-year-old is a self-made millionaire, mostly due to her huge success as the co-host of The Kyle and Jackie O show.

In 2019, Jackie and her time collaborator Kyle Sandilands signed a contract with the Australian Radio Network for a rumoured seven to eight million dollars each per year.
The contract is expected to expire sometime towards the tail end of 2024.

As well as being a radio host, Jackie is also the Managing Director of talent management and production company the Gemmie Agency, as well Besties, a new business venture that she launched in July 2023 with friend Gemma O’Neill.

But despite her incredible aptitude for business and on-air talent, Jackie has said that her financial success in these fields has left her ashamed.
“I do sometimes get embarrassed to talk about money. I hate showing off wealth. I’ve always been like that…I want a nice bag, car, and house, but I don’t want to flaunt it,” the radio host shared candidly.

“But [at the same time] I shouldn’t be embarrassed about it, so I am trying to take more ownership of that.”
“As a man, they’d absolutely be owning that, and as a female, when you’re single, it’s quite scary to earn a lot of money, because a lot of men can be intimidated by that.
“And so your instinct is to downplay it for that reason.”

In direct comparison, co-host Kyle Sandilands regularly flaunts his wealth, from the one million he spent on his wedding, to the half a million he spent on his honeymoon to the 25,000 he spent on his son Otto’s first birthday celebrations.
Earlier this year, Jackie purchased a $13.5 million beachfront mansion in the affluent Sydney suburb Clovelly.

“I am so grateful for it, I am, but sometimes I think…I wish I was just back in my 20s and trying to buy my first apartment,” she also told Stellar.
“Isn’t that weird? It’s only a thought I had a couple of weeks ago…I don’t know. I keep asking myself why I’m thinking that way.”
“All I’ll say is, as women, we just need to be proud a little more.”
