How the infamous party house influencer grew tired of his playboy lifestyle after breaking up with his girlfriend as he embraces life in a gated community and the privacy he always craved
- Party boy Jackson O’Doherty talks about mental health issues
- The millionaire prankster says he has ended his party ways
- Split with OnlyFans co-star Maddy Belle last year and sold his house
Millionaire prankster Jackson O’Doherty says he’s embarked on a new path after selling his home called Playboy Mansion 2.0 following a split with his OnlyFans co-star Maddy Belle.
The Gold Coast social media star gained millions of followers and lived the life of a party boy for nearly a decade, even switching to porn.
But the YouTuber, who often referred to himself as a “joke god,” sold his dream Gold Coast mansion to move to the nearby Calmwater Shores gated community last year after breaking up with his girlfriend Maddy Belle.
O’Doherty said his move to Calmwater Shores had finally given him privacy; something he began to crave given the sheer number of people who knew where he lived and regularly knocked on the door.
The ex-party boy also recently underwent treatment for chronic back pain due to years of his intense party lifestyle.

The prankster has amassed millions of followers across multiple social media platforms and lived the life of a party boy for nearly a decade, even switching to porn, but says he has given up on his party lifestyle
“Last year was quite a character-building year for me,” Mr. O’Doherty shared property. com.
“A lot of people don’t understand it and just make assumptions about public relationships, that it’s not as legit as a normal one… but that’s definitely not the case. We loved each other and we had a lot of fun, but the relationship ended.”
Together, O’Doherty and Belle managed to raise about $4 million through subscriptions to their OnlyFans site during the height of Covid.
The fortune he and Belle made helped him buy the gated community property for $1.25 million and his “Playboy Mansion 2.0” for $2.9 million.
The Youtuber said he was motivated to sell the house after the split and because of ongoing battles with his mental health.
“I was kind of sick of all the partying, with hundreds of people around me, having to wonder who was real and who wasn’t,” he said.
“Most people have always been pretty good to me and I haven’t had any problems or drama with anyone.”
The party house was sold for $3.1 million in the middle of last year to Megan and Steven Parrella, the founders of porn store Naughty But Nice.
The property features a wraparound pool, tennis court and central octagonal party room.

The social media star’s real estate moves come after he underwent surgery for back pain last year and said he was now in great physical shape and feeling “great” mentally.
“Everything is really starting to come together again. I’ve been very patient and stuck to healthy habits for a while. I’ve retired from partying,” he said.
He has now settled into a gated community home and had a message for those struggling with mental health: “don’t ignore it, get help.”
“If you don’t have close relatives to talk to, talk to a friend or see a doctor, try talking to a therapist,” O’Doherty said.
“That doesn’t mean you’re crazy. It doesn’t mean you’re weird. It doesn’t mean you are different
“I’ve done a lot of therapy. I’ve been on antidepressants before. I’ve been through a lot of my own things that people wouldn’t know behind closed doors. It happens to the best of us.
Traumas happen in life. People experience things. That’s why I encourage everyone to get help, talk to someone, get it off your chest, it’s better than holding it in.”
