Adrian ‘Mr Lambo’ Portelli, a bidder on The Block, recently shared photos on Instagram showcasing two luxury sports cars housed in his multimillion-dollar Melbourne penthouse. The cars, a McLaren Senna GTR Formula 1 race car worth $2 million and a 2023 black Lamborghini Huracan STO worth $800,000, total a value of $2.8 million. Both cars were craned into the 57th-floor penthouse from the outside of the building.
Portelli purchased the luxury penthouse in May for a record-breaking $39 million, making it the most expensive apartment in Melbourne. Despite its prime location in the heart of the CBD, Portelli plans to use the property as a weekender rather than his primary residence. The penthouse offers direct access to the second tower, which will house a five-star Shangri-La hotel, adding to its appeal for Portelli.
A 35-year-old multi-millionaire property investor and online promotions guru, Portelli has an estimated net worth of $350 million. He decided to purchase the penthouse the same day he saw it, citing reasons such as security and a blank canvas for customization as factors that influenced his decision. Portelli also welcomed his first child, a son, with his girlfriend in January.
In addition to his property investments, Portelli runs his own promotions and giveaway business focusing on luxury vehicles and prestige houses. He is the owner of The Little Legends Foundation, which provides urgent medical care and experiences for vulnerable children. Portelli made headlines in 2022 for his bidding on The Block finale, pushing up the price of a home owned by Omar and Oz.
Portelli’s collection of luxury sports cars, paired with his lavish penthouse in Melbourne, showcases his affinity for luxury and high-end living. His social media posts highlighting the cars have garnered attention from fans and followers, offering a glimpse into his extravagant lifestyle. Despite his success and wealth, Portelli remains active in philanthropy and charitable endeavors, using his resources to support those in need.
