Adrian ‘Mr Lambo’ Portelli’s jaw-dropping tax bill is revealed as billionaire buys up all five properties on The Block
As a seasoned observer of the property market and reality TV landscape, I must say, Adrian Portelli’s latest move is nothing short of audacious. Buying all five properties from The Block 2024, then giving them away in a raffle? That’s a level of generosity that even Santa Claus might find hard to match!
Adrian Portelli, a wealthy investor in the blockchain sector, has been presented with a substantial tax bill following his purchase of all five properties during the weekend’s auction.
A 35-year-old billionaire made history by shelling out a staggering $15.03 million to acquire every high-end residence featured on the 2024 season of the show, marking the first time this has been done.
After making large-scale acquisitions, it has come to light that he will have significant tax liabilities towards the Victorian government. This includes high one-time stamp duties and yearly property taxes in the future.
The highest bidder for the block is now confronted with expenses that surpass $1.2 million, following his large-scale acquisitions worth millions.
Based on data from realestate.com.au, the Victorian State Revenue Office might potentially collect up to $876,950 solely from stamp duties.
Furthermore, it’s said that Portelli is estimated to pay around $332,182 each year as property taxes for the land.
Alan Mitchell, the managing director at Mitchell Partners, underscored the significant impact that taxes have on individuals who invest in real estate properties.
He observed that a significant number of his clients are choosing to dispose of their Victorian possessions and instead invest in Queensland real estate or the stock exchange, primarily because of the high tax burden.
Mitchell clarified to Realestate.com.au that even if the government reduces taxes, real estate remains a wise long-term financial commitment.
In Queensland, if investors choose to invest, they probably won’t sell their investments there simply to benefit from lower rates in Victoria.
‘It’s like turning around the Titanic – even if they reduce rates, it could take five to ten years to counteract the effects of recent tax policies.’
He added that the state government’s reliance on taxing investors could backfire in the long run, describing the revenue from land tax as a ‘short-term gain’.
It was noted that if more investors decide to leave the real estate market in Victoria, the government might experience a decrease in income over the next few years due to less revenue coming from this sector.
Last week, Liberal MP David Limbrick posted a video implying that the true victor from the reality show “The Block” might eventually be the State Taxation Department.
He highlighted how escalating transaction costs were pushing investors away, with many opting to put their funds into the stock market, where there’s no stamp duty.
Portelli unveiled his surprising strategy for ‘Block Island’, having bought all five contestant’s houses during the auction.
He announced plans to distribute all his properties, in what he calls a “resort sweepstakes,” via his LMCT+ lottery venture.
In a change of leadership, the town of Portelli has a new mayor who is thrilled to share exciting news with everyone! On Facebook, he officially announced something unprecedented: we are giving away an entire resort!
1 Chance to Win – 1 Grand Prize – The entire resort is up for grabs or you could opt for an instant $8,000,000 in tax-free cash! Let the fun commence!
With the declaration came a picture featuring Portelli standing next to one of his luxury vehicles, both inside the newly-acquired Block complex where he now resides.
He was all smiles as he relaxed against his vehicle while holding an LMCT+ banner reading ‘No Vacancy’.
The ‘rewards club’ that Portelli has made his billions from sees his customers pay for different tiers of membership to receive a number of entries in luxury giveaways.
For the past three seasons, Portelli has been acquiring Block homes and giving them away through his lotteries.
Although he successfully acquired all five properties, Portelli admitted on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday that he doesn’t actually enjoy Phillip Island. In fact, he plans to give away all the houses in a raffle since he has no affection for the area.
As a die-hard enthusiast, I’ve been mulling over the idea of launching my very own resort, but here’s the twist – instead, I plan to bestow this dream project upon one of my cherished customers!
Host Kyle Sandilands clarified: “That’s just his style. Whenever he purchases these properties, he gifts them to one of his clients as part of a competition.
Adrian announced that someone would receive it since we’re giving it away,” he stated, followed by expressing his displeasure about the filming location for The Block this season.
He expressed his dislike for Phillip Island, mentioning it’s quite a distance for him and he finds the journey too bothersome to make.
Additionally, Portelli disclosed that the auction was found to be manipulated following Maddy and Charlotte Harry’s historic victory as the youngest champions on Sunday.
Portelli stated that he specifically arranged the auction sequence to ensure Maddy and Charlotte Harry went up at the end, this way they had a better chance of winning. He shared this information with Jase & Lauren on Nova’s show.
Portelli disclosed that the decision was made to put their house up for auction last, aiming to add more suspense following latecomers receiving negative feedback from fellow cast members.
According to him, the girls showed compassion. They arrived later than expected. Initially overlooked, they were often subjected to teasing and mistreatment, essentially being bullied.
He mentioned that Marry and Charlotte were previously notified about the reason behind the delayed auction of their property, whereas the other competitors remained uninformed.
He mentioned that only the girls knew about the scheme, and he found that delightful. They’re so kind-hearted and guileless, and they seemed to be excelling at the game. That’s what he expressed.
