This surprising purchase comes after Timothy’s shocking revelation about his past.

His sordid story was revealed by A Current Affair in April, leaving viewers shocked to learn that the real estate mogul had spent more than a year behind bars.
Tim’s former screenmate Lucinda Light couldn’t resist making a cheeky comment to the MAFS star.
“I would leave from a small unmanned airport and fly down a valley to a stream where I would meet an all-terrain vehicle… within a minute, the helicopter would be loaded,” he explained.
Timothy was eventually captured by police in Los Angeles when he returned to the country after visiting his sick mother in Australia.
He was sentenced for “trafficking marijuana across an international border” in 2006 and spent additional time in an immigration detention center.
