Olivia Jones Net Worth

Olivia Jones makes her money in different ways. She collects fees for her TV appearances and posts income with her four bars in Hamburg as well as with her neighborhood tours and harbor cruises. The sales of her two books and her four singles have also increased her fortune. She was also the advertising figure of brands such as Penny, Leerdammer and 11880.

The step into the travesty artist scene

Oliver Köbel already performed as a travesty artist when he was still at school. Because he pursued this career goal early on, he took courses in acting, speech training and make-up artistry. In 1989 he moved from his hometown of Springe to Hamburg. There he met Ernie Reinhardt, who had just founded the Schmidt Theater on the Reeperbahn and acted there as a drag artist in the role of Lilo Wanders. Reinhardt got Köbel a few appearances in Hamburg’s travesty theater Pulverfass Cabaret and soon after let him appear in his own show at the Schmidt Theater.

Political Miss Drag Queen

In his role as Olivia Jones, Koebel won the 1997 Drag Queen Contest in Miami, thereby taking the title of Miss Drag Queen Of The World . From then on, Jones was seen more and more frequently on television and moderated Christopher Street Day for NDR, for example. At the beginning of 2004, Jones had herself put up as a candidate in the Hamburg state elections in order to attract media attention against the former party of right-wing populist Ronald Schill. With 0.5 percent of the votes, Jones received slightly more support than Schill’s ex-party.

With camels and in the jungle

In April 2004, Jones was one of the ten candidates on the RTL show Star Duell , but missed out on reaching the final. A year later she took part in the program Big Brother – The Village and lived for nine days in the eponymous village. In 2010 she lived with camels for four days as part of the show The animal in me . She won 5,000 euros, which she donated to the animal welfare organization PETA. In early 2013, she drew for I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! into the Australian jungle and took second place behind Joey Heindle.

Guided tours and own catering in Hamburg

In 2006, Jones took tourists on the Reeperbahn for the first time under the title Olivia’s Safari , and a year later she also began to organize harbor tours in Hamburg. At the end of 2008 she opened her first restaurant, the O livia Jones Bar in St. Pauli. The Olivias Wilde Jungs table dance bar followed in 2010, the Olivias Show Club bar in 2012 and the Olivias Kiez Oase beer garden in 2014 , with which she steadily increases her fortune .

Singer, author – and still a TV star

Also in 2014, Jones participated in the Megapark Allstars charity project , which released the single Wir sind der Megapark . In 2015 Jones brought out the song Bring Mutti with Lorenz Büffel and Nona . In 2016 the single Finger im Po, Mexico with Kay One followed , in 2021 We are Queer with Melanie Müller and Katy Bähm. Jones also appears as an author: in 2015 her children’s book No Fear in ANDERSRUM – A Story from the Other Shore was published , and in 2021 her autobiography Unschminkt. My shrill double life .
