Billionaire Adrian Portelli begs fans to buy EVERY HOME he purchased on The Block after dropping $15 million on entire Phillip Island compound - and failing to give it away in a competition
Adrian 'Mr Lambo' Portelli has revealed he's selling off his entire Phillip Island compound.
The billionaire businessman, 35, made history when he snapped up every Block home on Phillip Island for $15.03million last year.
However it appears he is ready to let it all go - and has appealed to his fans to take it off his hands.
In a post shared to Instagram Stories on Friday, he wrote: 'For Sale. The Phillip Island Block resort selling complex complete. Everything included.'
'Will not sell houses separately' he added.

Adrian included a question box where people could 'express interest' in making the multi-million dollar purchase.
Last year, Adrian attempted to give away the entire compound in a record-breaking raffle.
The house giveaway was earlier marred by technology issues which has forced him to postpone the announcement of the winner.
However he got back on track 24 hours later with over 111,000 viewers tuning in on Facebook.
Portelli called the winner, a 34-year-old woman from Ballarat called Holly, to give her the good news that she had won.
'Oh my God, no f**ing way. I didn't watch the live on purpose because I thought it would be bad luck,' she Portelli during the call.
Holly opted to sleep on the choice between taking $8 million in cash or keeping all five properties.
However, she later opted to take the cash, leaving Adrian still holding the homes.

The scheduled lottery through his company LMCT+ had hit a major roadblock on Thursday due to technical difficulties, with Adrian deciding to 'pause' the action.
The winner was due to be unveiled at 8.30pm on Boxing Day but the result had been postponed for 24 hours due to the issues.
In a video, Adrian explained that the giveaway had closed at 8pm as planned, but due to the sheer volume of traffic on the website, the LMCT+ systems then crashed.
During the 2024 finale of The Block, Adrian made history by purchasing all five of the properties for a huge $15million.
In his final year of bidding on the show, Adrian ensured Maddy and Charlotte Harry became the youngest ever winners when he bought their home for $3.5million.
Adrian's company, LMCT+, has frequently raffled off properties from The Block, including last year's $5million purchase of Steph and Gian's winning home.
Shortly after buying up the entire plot of homes on Phillip Island, Adrian then announced his massive 'resort giveaway' through LMCT+.

Romeo and Cruz's barbed 'family' posts as Victoria 'disgusted' by Brooklyn
It comes as Victoria was among other family members reportedly left "disgusted" after Brooklyn snubbed his dad on Father's Day and his knighthood achievement Brooklyn Beckham's younger brothers couldn't resist sharing a series of cryptic posts about "family" and being "vain" as the family drama continues to unravel. It comes as Victoria was among other family members reportedly left "disgusted" after Brooklyn snubbed his dad on Father's Day and his knighthood achievement. Romeo, whose ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull broke her silence yesterday on the Brooklyn feud, hasn't shied away from hinting at how he really feels over the turmoil around him. The former footballer, 22, posted about "unecessary lies" mere hours after Kim's post. Taking to Instagram, he shared a post of himself with a pal, labelling it "family" with a crossed fingers emoji. He then went on to share a series throwback photos of his mum Victoria and dad David looking very youthful, in some showing fresh-faced Victoria with a pram or one of their sons in tow. Similarly, his younger brother Cruz shared a cryptic screengrab of Carly Simon hit You're So Vain, before going on to share a poster with the words: "If I would stick my pen in my heart/ Spill it all over the stage/ Would it satisfy you?" The series of posts from the brothers comes as David's huge knighthood achievement continues to be overshadowed by their fallout with eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30. David is set to be honoured at Buckingham Palace later this year, but the special day that he has dreamed of for so many years will be tinged with sadness as Brooklyn and his wife Nicola are not set to attend, according to reports. While David will be supported by his wife Victoria, 51, sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13, Brooklyn is likely to skip his dad's biggest career milestone yet. "Sadly there's no question of Brooklyn being involved. The whole family is disgusted with him. It's left a very dark cloud over everyone at the worst possible time. Barring some sort of miracle, there's no way that Brooklyn is going to show up," a source told Heat Magazine. And while all the rest of his children honoured and celebrated his incredible achievement on social media, Brooklyn remained silent while his dad's dreams of a knighthood finally came true. Brooklyn's behaviour has reportedly rubbed his mum Victoria up the wrong way and she has been left 'furious' by his actions - or lack thereof. "The whole family is devastated by the current situation. The tension had been there for a while but no-one thought in a million years that it would turn this toxic. Victoria can't fathom why Brooklyn hasn't been in touch to apologise. She's furious with him, but also heartbroken," the insider added. While Brooklyn may have remained silent, the same can't be said for Victoria who has sang her praises and celebrated her husband to no end after the incredible news of his knighthood. Victoria posted a sweet snap of her kissing a smiling David on the cheek as she wrote in the caption: "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. "Your dedication to the things that matter most - your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family - has never wavered. The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine.I love you so much xxxx". In a statement to the Mirror, David himself said: "Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. "Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation. "I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family."

Footy great Luke Hodge lifts the lid on why he was forced to take a trip to the emergency room this week after suffering a nasty cut to his head
Footy great Luke Hodge has revealed that he was left needing a trip to the Emergency Room this week after he sustained a large gash on his right eyebrow that required stitches. During Tuesday night's episode of The Agenda Setters, Hodge showed off the painful-looking scar as his co-hosts jovially taunted him about the injury. Hodge, who was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame last week, revealed during the show that he had sustained the injury during a game of basketball. The 6ft 1in former midfielder said another player's elbow had accidentally caught him on the eye during the match, which left a nasty gash on his forehead. It is not the first time in recent months that the Hawthorn legend has suffered an injury while playing basketball, with the 41-year-old also revealing five weeks ago that he had suffered a hamstring injury while playing basketball. On Tuesday night's episode of The Agenda Setters, Hodge was asked for an explanation of the injury by Kane Cornes, showing off his war wound to the camera. A torn hamstring and now stitches in the forehead... Hodgey's social basketball career ain't it. — 7AFL (@7AFL) June 17, 2025 Footy great Luke Hodge has opened up on how he got the painful-looking scratch on his forehead that left him needing a trip to the ER 'Uh, it's old man basketball, Kane,' he joked. 'I went up for a lay up, if you can see it in there it's a little bit of a gash, and got a nice little elbow and spent the night in emergency.' Despite the nasty cut, Hodge appeared in great spirits during the show, laughing as his co-hosts affectionately teased him, while also bringing up his recent hamstring injury. 'Daisy have we not had this conversation about him,' Cornes said. 'We have,' Dale Thomas replied. 'He did a hamstring with similar results... Cornes said: 'I think we need to hold an intervention tonight.' Hodge then joked about the conversation he had with his family who he said had asked him: 'Do you reckon you should give up on sport?' The footy great had previously opened up on his hamstring injury in April, revealing he had taken to reformer pilates to help aid his recovery and preparations for a marathon. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Luke Hodge (@hodgey015) 'After hurting my hamstring in old man basketball, I've realized I have to dedicate more time to my preparation and recovery for my upcoming marathon,' he wrote on Instagram. 'Thank you @Yourreformer. Let's hope the old body holds up through the training.' His eye injury comes a week after Hodge was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame. The Hawthorn star was one of several individuals honoured for his glittering career in footy last week at Melbourne's Crown Palladium. The former midfielder amassed 346 appearances during his 17-year career in footy's top-flight, notably winning four premierships, three of which came while he was captain of the Hawks.

Love Island legend slams ‘mean girl' Meg's ‘awful' behaviour towards Malisha and says ‘it needs to be called out
Love Island's Jessie Wynter has slammed Meg's "awful" behaviour towards bombshell Malisha amid their bitter villa feud. Aussie beauty Jessie, who found love with farmer Will Young in the 2023 winter series, found last night's episode difficult to watch after the girls' clash left new girl Malisha in tears. 5 Love Island's Meg has been criticised for reducing Malisha to tears Credit: Eroteme 5 New arrival Malisha was overwhelmed after the latest fiery clash Credit: Eroteme The warring islanders have been battling for Dejon's affections with Meg left furious after she had to watch the hunk enjoy a date with the new arrival on a big screen. Fireworks erupted last night after Malisha tried to take Dejon to the hideaway, which Meg found disrespectful. In an exclusive interview with The Sun on behalf of Top Offshore Sportsbooks, Jessie, 28, said: "The way that Malisha's been treated, I don't like that. I do not like seeing that. And I think the taking sides from the other girls is quite disappointing. "I think Meg gives off this energy as though she thinks that because she's an original, she's better than Malisha, which is why she's speaking down to her a bit, which I personally do not like to see." Alima consoled upset Malisha after the row and was quick to call out Meg in front of the group. She told her: "I know it's not nice to see your boy getting pulled up left, right and centre but at the same time, we can be nice to boys and we can be nice to the girls as well." Meg responded by criticising the confrontational energy Malisha has brought to the villa and objected to being called an idiot. "I think it was lovely that Alima came and supported Malisha," Jessie continued. "But I think it's just awful. And I think this behavior does need to be called out. "Bullying is when you're repetitively coming back and attacking the people. I think with Meg and Malisha, I feel like Malisha is doing an incredible job in there. "I think someone needs to have a chat to Meg, whether that be the other girls. I think that behavior shouldn't be tolerated if it continues." SAVAGE Love Island twist as bombshell footballer arrives and girl dumped Jessie found the situation very similar to Zara Deniz's time in the villa from her own series. On that occasion, Zara repeatedly clashed with Olivia Hawkins over Tom Clare before her early exit. Jessie said: "It was really sad to just watch that happen again. I think there are some mean girl groups forming, and I think that often happens in Love Island with the original girls and the bombshells. I just think, girls, come on, girlhood." The former villa star also weighed in on Tommy's row with Shea after the latter manipulated a game to snog Megan, who is partnered with Tommy. Smitten Tommy felt disrespected having already laid claim to Megan. Losing his cool, he called Shea a "lanky lamppost" before storming off. Jessie said: "I think Shay was extremely composed in that situation. "I think something's really hit a nerve with Tommy. I don't know if he's had a situation like this outside of the villa." 5 Dejon is at the heart of a love triangle Credit: Eroteme 5 Jessie Wynter said the way Malisha was spoken to was 'awful' Credit: Instagram
