The Block star Adrian Portelli's 2024 highlights list includes bizarre purchase
Relatable king.
Fans of The Block will know Adrian Portelli as the man who has snapped up multiple investment properties on the hit show, and if you're not across The Block you may just know him as one of the richest men in Australia.
Hailing from Melbourne, Adrian became a force to be reckoned with during the 2022 finale of the renovation reality show when he made a grand entrance in a bright yellow Lamborghini (earning him the name "Mr Lambo") and placing a staggering $5.5 million bid on the winning house — he was outbid but managed to nab the runner-up's property for a casual $4.25 million. He followed this in the 2023 finale by securing three of the properties, making him a household name for reality TV fans.
The billionaire has now taken to Instagram to share his recent life highlights, and he's sure packed a lot into the last year, including becoming a first-time father and travelling around the world in his own plane, which even comes with his initials on it.

Adrian shared with his 354k followers his top five highlights from a recent holiday, and of course, it's stuff only us mere mortals could dream of. And let's just say, there was one strange outlier among the luxury modes of transportation.
"Top 5 highlights of this year's trip," he wrote, before listing them out as follows:
"1. Flying around the globe on my own plane
2. Receiving delivery of the Lambo Yacht and cruising around the French Riviera on it
3. Picking up one of my all-time favourite cars: the McLaren SLR 722
4. Buying a T-Rex foot
5. Spending some quality, wholesome time with my family
"Dream big fam. The life is what you make of it 🫶."
Yep, you read that right. A T-Rex foot.
Fans had mixed opinions in the comments, some supporting Adrian's journey in living his life big, and others questioning him.
"Not even jealous, just happy that someone good is winning in life. Just goes to show the skies are the limit," one person commented. "Dreams mate! Killin' it," another said.
"I was able to afford some spaghetti in a can this week. Thanks for the motivation, though," another quipped in the comments. "That T-rex foot will be your son's biggest flex at kinder & school show & tell," someone else said.
"Question: Do you think those purchases have made you truly happy? (Long term)," one curious person asked, to no answer from Adrian. "Funny, some parts of the world people are dying and some are living the good life strange how this world works," another commented.
"Can you adopt me?" another asked.
And Adrian... if you're reading this, I'm ready to be adopted too.
