This Australian billionaire hit the headlines when he airlifted a McLaren Senna GTR 57 into his apartment and now he’s turning heads again, but this time it’s with a $84K Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited.
Meet Adrian Portelli, a young property investor from Melbourne, Australia who is also a big car enthusiast.
Although he has a lineup of supercars in his collection, his recent purchase was a bit different.
The 4WD Jeep has been given the full ‘Pimp My Ride’ treatment.

Billionaire buys $84K Jeep Wrangler
The Australian billionaire is quite a big car enthusiast with a massive collection of rare and unique vehicles.
So when he bought his 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited he wanted to convert it into a SEMA-style Jeep.
So he took the car to twins Ashton and Christian Montesalvo, who run the Patriot Games YouTube Channel.
The brothers kitted the car with aftermarket upgrades and made it look like an off-road beast.
“This is what happens when you give the Patriot boys the keys to your brand new Jeep and tell them to do whatever they want to it,” Portelli said.
The Australian billionaire has spent a lot of money on supercars, so much so, that he forked out to have his McLaren Senna GTR airlifted directly into the living room of his penthouse apartment.
Aftermarket upgrades
During the customization, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler had its roof and doors completely removed.
The chassis had also been upgraded to accommodate large all-terrain tires.
“Absolutely blown away gents. First time seeing it and couldn’t be happier. Wonder if it still has new car warranty,” Portelli said in his Instagram post.
His followers fell in love with the modified Jeep Wrangler and it’s easy to see why.
“That thing is off its head,” one said.
“It’s just missing the gun turret on the roof,” another said, referring to the fact it was kitted out with pretty much everything they could think of.
Although the aftermarket upgrade must have cost him a pretty penny, it’s just a drop in the ocean for this supercar-loving billionaire.
