Billionaire Adrian Portelli gave a brazen intruder a taste of his own medicine after catching him breaking into his $40 million penthouse.
Mr Portelli, known online as Mr Lambo, decided to turn the tables and visit the invader at his home on Tuesday.
“We’re standing in front of the house of one of the guys who broke into the attic,” she posted on her Instagram account at 2.30am.
“He kept acting smart on the Internet, so I ended up finding out his address. I went to his house and knocked on his door.
‘He showed his face and ran to his room. ‘Come on, buddy! If you want to show up uninvited in people’s houses, I’ll do the same to you. Damn weak dog.’
Portelli then uploaded a photo of two Victoria Police patrol cars.
“We are making progress. In this country, theft needs to be taken more seriously,” the wealthy young man wrote on the photo.
One of the intruders sent an Instagram message and offered to work for the billionaire for free in an effort to make amends.
Billionaire Adrian Portelli (pictured) has given a brazen intruder who was caught breaking into his $40million penthouse a taste of his own medicine.
Portelli posted a photo of two Victoria Police patrol cars early on Tuesday morning.
“I’m sorry. I know I did wrong. I was aiming for the ceiling and I apologize for invading your space,” the man wrote.
‘I would love to work for you for free for the next month to correct my mistakes.’
This comes after Portelli was forced to deny that the robbery was a “publicity stunt.”
In CCTV footage of the robbery, two men are seen entering the penthouse, located in Melbourne’s CBD, and inspecting one of Portelli’s luxury cars.
“It’s not planned at all. I have better things to do,” Portelli told A Current Affair on Monday, adding that he feels “unsafe” after the incident.
“The fact that there are people wandering around the building when they shouldn’t be there is worrying to everyone,” he said.
A police spokesman confirmed an investigation had been launched into a “trespassing incident”.
One of the intruders sent an Instagram message and offered to work for the billionaire for free in an effort to make things right.
Portelli was forced to deny the robbery was a “publicity stunt” on A Current Affair on Sunday.
“Two male offenders are understood to have entered a residence between 11pm on Sunday 25 August and 2am on Monday 26 August,” a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
This is not the first robbery that Portelli has suffered this year.
In February, he offered a huge reward to anyone who could identify a group of suspected thieves who broke into his office and left empty-handed.
Portelli shared two CCTV videos of the group inside his office in Melbourne’s north after the unsuspecting burglars gained entry through a broken window.
The 35-year-old is best known online for giving away thousands of dollars through his savings subscription, LMCT+, and bidding on properties on The Block.
He previously admitted to having “lost count” of how many luxury cars he owns.
Portelli was named to AFR’s Young Rich List for 2023 with an estimated net worth of $1.03 billion.
