Grag Queen is the recipient of the GAY TIMES Honour for Latin American Icon, sponsored by Vevo. Last year, the drag queen memorably brought the “Brazility” to the first-ever season of Queen of the Universe, World of Wonder’s new competition series that collects some of the world’s fiercest drag vocalists to compete for a cash prize of $250,000.
After six episodes with powerhouse vocals from British, Indian, French, Italian, Mexican, Australian, Chinese, Danish and Brazilian talent, Grag Queen emerged supreme and was named the inaugural Queen of the Universe.
With $250,000 converting to just under 1.4 million Brazilian Real, Grag subsequently became a millionaire. Speaking with GAY TIMES after her win, the star said: “I’m totally a millionaire!
Can you smell the coin?” She added: “I think Grag Queen, that girl with a wig, she deserves it! I can go to the doctor whenever I want, to the dentist, I don’t have to be on my knees in the supermarket looking for the low prices!
