Jackie 'O' Henderson reveals the shocking 'death clause' in her $200million KIIS FM contract with Kyle Sandilands

Sydney radio queen Jackie 'O' Henderson once described her best friend and colleague of 20 years, Kyle Sandilands, as her 'ride or die.'. Now, the 50-year-old has enshrined that sentiment into her legally binding $100million contract with KIIS FM. Kyle and Jackie O signed a record-breaking $200 million deal with Australian Radio Network (ARN) in November 2023 that would see them remain on airwaves until 2034 - earning a whopping $10m per year salary each.

And on Thursday, the duo opened up about what their extensive contracts stated would happen to the show if one of them were to die. 'I've got a whole page in there about what happens if you die,' Jackie told Kyle. 'Oh yes, I've got that as well. Actually, I've had that for quite a few years. And I think you only just put that in yours this year,' her co-host confessed.

Sydney radio queen Jackie 'O' Henderson once described her best friend and colleague of 20 years, Kyle Sandilands , as her 'ride or die' and on Thursday revealed she's made that legal. The Kyle and Jackie O Show hosts, who have been best friends and on-air partners since 2000, opened up about the weirder parts of their record-breaking 10-year $200m radio deal.

'Wait. Why was I in yours? Was I more likely to die?' Jackie exclaimed. Kyle reassured her the death clause is something the lawyers came up with years ago, but that the new deal was a chance for Jackie to add her own individual stipulations. 'They [lawyers] did ring me when they were doing this new deal and said "Jackie wants this [death] clause",' he said.
