He has long kept details of his private world largely out of the spotlight.
But Australian property investor Adrian Portelli made a very public celebration of a major life milestone, staging a lavish gender reveal as he prepares to welcome his first child next year.
The high-profile Block bidder, widely recognised as “Mr Lambo” thanks to his passion for luxury supercars, is expecting a baby boy with his glamorous girlfriend.
The Herald Sun reported that the couple marked the occasion in July at Portelli’s $39 million East Melbourne penthouse.
For the sky-high reveal, Portelli arranged for three Roulettes to soar above the building, leaving colourful trails behind them — one blue, one purple and one yellow.

Daily Mail Australia revealed last week that Portelli is set to welcome his first child with his partner in late January.
The 34-year-old confirmed the news, but chose to keep the identity of his partner under wraps.
Sources close to the tattooed businessman have said that he is ‘beyond excited’ with the news and ‘looking forward to a new chapter’ in his life.
The news comes just weeks after it was revealed that his glamorous ex partner, brunette Anastasia Iliopoulos will appear on the upcoming season of The Bachelors.

Portelli meanwhile made headlines last year for pushing up the price of Omar and Oz’s home during The Block finale.
He opened the bidding at $4.5million – far above the $4.08million reserve – and his aggressive style meant eventual buyer Danny Wallis ended up paying an eye-watering $5,666,666.66 for the five-bedroom, 10-acre Gisborne estate.
He also runs his own promotions and giveaway business, focusing on luxury vehicles and prestige houses, and is the owner of The Little Legends Foundation, which provides urgent medical care and offers experiences for vulnerable children.
He founded auto enthusiast club LMCT+ in 2018, which has now become Australia’s largest and fastest-growing car community
