An American TikToker had no idea he was speaking to Australian radio royalty when he interviewed Jackie ‘O’ Henderson on holiday in Beverly Hills last month.
Jackie was shopping on Rodeo Drive with her daughter Kitty, 12, when social media star Mister Lewis asked them to be in one of his viral quick-fire vox-pop videos.
The KIIS FM presenter, 48, reluctantly agreed to go on camera because it was Kitty’s dream to be featured in a street interview on TikTok, and was soon bombarded with a series of questions about her salary and property portfolio.

The interviewer clearly didn’t know Jackie was one of the highest-earning women in Australian media, as he guessed her annual salary was about $150,000 and asked if she owned a home worth more than a million dollars.
In reality, she is estimated to earn at least $5million a year hosting Sydney’s No. 1 FM breakfast show Kyle and Jackie O, and that doesn’t include performance bonuses.
Jackie is also an in-demand TV personality who most recently appeared as a judge on The Masked Singer Australia, for which she was reportedly paid $1million.
In addition, she has a string of lucrative sponsorships, including her $500,000 deal with WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers.

Australians flocked to the comments section to praise Jackie for being so humble when she could have easily bragged about her wealth
The video begins with Mister Lewis asking Jackie and Kitty, ‘What do y’all do for a living?’ Jackie replies she is a ‘radio announcer’ and Kitty says she is a student.
‘How much money do you make a year, roundabout?’ he then asks, to which Jackie awkwardly responds: ‘I don’t know…’
When Mister Lewis suggests $150,000, she says: ‘Right. Yeah…’
The TikToker then asks if she rents or owns a home in Sydney, and she confirms she is a homeowner. He follows this up with: ‘How much is your house worth?’
An embarrassed Jackie says: ‘Oh, my God! I can’t say that!’
Mister Lewis guesses her home is worth ‘over $1million’, and Jackie confirms it is but refuses to give a specific figure.

Of course, Jackie’s property portfolio is worth far more than a million dollars.
In fact, she recently sold her ‘forever’ home Woollahra for $13million, which was $2million more than she paid for it in 2020.
Australians flocked to the comments section to praise Jackie for being so humble when she could have easily bragged about her wealth.
‘Love that she’s being humble and not giving too much away instead of bragging. Us Aussies know though!’ one fan wrote.
Another added: ‘I love how she just casually says “radio announcer” as if she isn’t one half of the No. 1 breakfast radio show in Australia.’
Others said Jackie is more likely to earn $150,000 in a single week than a year, and hailed her as a ‘humble queen’.
