How MAFS groom's 'villain' cousin Steven made his $30 million fortune

MAFS groom Tony Mojanovski, 53, enjoyed a very sweet wedding to Morena Farina, 57, proving that the experiment does occasionally get it right (well, so far!). However, Tony's cousin Steve Nasteski made quite the impression on viewers after telling the groom that his bride was too old for him.

Steve took Tony out from the wedding telling him he needed to talk to him because he was "worried" for his cousin. He told him, "The thing is, you're ageing gracefully."

With Steve interrupting and replying, "Yeah, well, she is older than me, you know that?"

When the groom told him that Morena was 57, a shocked Steve replied, "Holy moly, that's old!"

"I felt like you should have been awarded somebody a bit younger," Steve told Tony. "How are you going to be able to deal with her for the next four weeks, honestly? I think she should have been 40."

He continued, saying Tony would be suited to a 40-year-old woman, not a 57-year-old woman.

Steve told the cameras, "If I was the one matchmaking, I don't know if she would have been the right pick."

Everything we know about Steve and his $30m fortune

Steve, a University of Technology Sydney graduate, is a former luxury car dealer, turned successful art dealer and has amassed a huge $30m fortune through this and also by flipping luxury properties.

He is based in Byron Bay, with his home going on the market last year for a whopping $20m, but it doesn't appear to have sold. His neighbour is also none other than Aussie superstar Chris Hemsworth.

It seems as though Steve has spent more time in recent years in property. In 2022, he bought two art deco apartments in Double Bay for $7.9m and he joined them together, renovating them as one large apartment, which sold in 2023 for $14m. At $96,000 per square metre, it was the second-highest price per square meter for the area.

In 2020, he made an almost $6m profit after flipping another property in Point Piper.

MAFS viewers slam Tony's cousin Steve

While Steve is clearly successful in business, he was less successful in winning favour with MAFS viewers, who were quick to roast him for his comments about Morena.

"'Awarded someone younger,' listen comb-over cousin, the 1940s called and they want their views back," one viewer wrote.

"Awarded? Sorry what now?" another questioned.

"Steve is a walking red flag and has outed himself on national TV, good luck every getting a date again, what a mediocre sad man," a third added.
