Entrepreneur Gifts $15.3M Worth of Luxury Homes on The Block

Just two years ago, in 2024, entrepreneur Adrian Portelli made headlines when he splashed out a staggering $15.3 million to purchase five luxury homes on the popular reality TV show The Block. However, as of November 17, 2025, Portelli has now given away all of those properties through a giveaway hosted by his LMCT+ lottery company.

The event, which was co-hosted by former Big Brother contestant Tahan Lew-Fatt, was viewed online by over 20,000 fans. A large crowd of onlookers was also present to witness Portelli, known as "Mr. Lambo," call each of the lucky winners, including a 43-year-old school teacher named Pavin who scored the $2.6 million House 4, and a woman named Donna who won the $3.4 million winning home built by sisters Charlotte and Maddy.

This giveaway comes just a year after Portelli attempted to raffle off the entire Block compound in a record-breaking lottery, which was initially delayed due to technical issues but eventually awarded to a 34-year-old woman from Ballarat named Holly, who opted to take the $8 million cash prize instead of keeping the properties.

Meanwhile, Portelli's own rival show to The Block, titled "My Reno Rules," has hit a serious roadblock. Sources reveal that the two homes purchased for the show by Portelli through his company Xclusive Tech Pty Ltd contained asbestos, forcing a two-day production shutdown while experts were brought in to clean up the cancer-causing substance.
