Adrian Portelli Criticized for Underage Models at Event

Adrian Portelli has been slammed  old.

Last week, the Australian billionaire launched the LMCT+ petrol station in Preston, Victoria, with hundreds of his loyal followers turning up to see him in the flesh.

Two of the models were just 15, including Stevie, the daughter of AFL star Brodie Holland and former Price Is Right model Sarita Stella. 

Several people on the group Tea Time voiced their disapproval of the entrepreneur for hiring the girls.  

'I feel like Adrian Portelli having a 15-year-old as a showgirl at his pre-opening night hasn't been talked about enough,' one person sniped.

'Yeah, it was absolutely cooked. Regardless of if he hired them himself, it was his event and he is responsible for it,' a second added.

Australia has no specific laws governing child modelling, and neither of the teenage performers engaged in any conduct on the night that could be considered unlawful.

Daily Mail has approached Portelli for comment.

On Wednesday night, Portelli officially opened the first of his chain of  stations, with hundreds of members of the public showing up for the party.

Several devotees of the luxury vehicle enthusiast showed up in their own muscle cars, with drivers filling the road, revving their engines and doing burnouts outside the brand-new service station.

Although petrol was not yet available for sale, those in attendance lined up instead for the food on offer, with Daily Mail hearing complaints of long waits and frustrated, hungry attendees.

Portelli was mobbed by fans for several hours at the event, which culminated in one of his infamous giveaways of a jaw-dropping $1 million.

The 37-year-old announced his petrol pump venture as part of an extension to LMCT+, his subscription-based rewards club, in December 2025.
