Outside court, Mr Cameron blew up telling NCA NewsWire he did not want to be in the public spotlight.
The 27-year-old rose to prominence during a fierce court battle following the death of his father, Mr Hemmes, who refused to have a relationship with his son over doubts about his paternity.
Mr Hemmes died from cancer in 2015 aged 83 and had only a week prior transferred $5.7 million from a Swiss bank account to children Justin and Bettina, The Daily Telegraph reported.Â

NSW Supreme Court Justice Geoff Lindsay ordered Mr Cameron be paid $1.75 million plus his legal fees from a superannuation fund following a court hearing in 2018.
A spokesman for the family claimed at the time Mr Cameron had previously refused to take a DNA test, leading to doubts from Mr Hemmes over whether he was his biological son. He eventually undertook a DNA test.
