Aaron Coady is an American drag queen known under his stage name Sharon Needles. He became famous in 2012 when he appeared on reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race and won it. This opened him doors to wealth and fame. As of 2023, Needles’ net worth is estimated to be $1.2 million. His latest album Taxidermy will probably further increase it.
How Did Sharon Needles Get So Rich?
Aaron was born November 28, 1981 in Newton, Iowa. He remained relatively unknown until RuPaul’s Drag Race presented him as one of the contestants on their fourth season in 2012. His unique, dark, macabre style of makeup and clothes made him immediately stand out and he easily won. Sharon Needles later appeared also on other shows, such as Watch What Happens: Live and She’s Living for This.
However, main line of interest for Sharon was a musical career. In 2013, Needles published his first studio album named PG-13. Several singles from it, such as This Club Is a Haunted House, became hits. No wonder fans were eager to buy second album Taxidermy that went on sale in 2015.
Musical royalties are one of major sources of income for Needles, fueling his net worth. Aaron was dating Justin Andrew Honard (known under his stage name Alaska Thunderf*ck) for four years. They broke up in 2013 but are still friends. There is no information about Sharon’s relationship status right now.
