Eliza and Liberty from The Block rave about Adrian Portelli as they celebrate together at the Melbourne Cup following his purchase of their auctioned house

The Block’s Eliza and Liberty sold their house to Adrian Portelli during the auctions on Sunday night.

And just days after walking away with $1.05million profit, the sisters gushed over the self-proclaimed ‘billionaire’ as they partied together in Melbourne.

In a photo shared to Instagram, Eliza and Liberty couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces as they posed alongside Adrian.

‘This guy changed our lives,’ Eliza captioned the image.

Adrian bid $4.2million on sisters Eliza and Liberty’s property and then made the odd move of bidding against himself – which has never happened on the show before.

Speaking with Daily Mail Australia at the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, Adrian said the move was ‘all fun and games’.

‘I saw the other potential bidders contacting their clients. And I just raised a bit just to kill the competition,’ he said.

‘It’s all fun and games, at the end of the day, the contestants are the ones that are getting the money.

Adrian also purchased House 4 for $5million, with Steph and Gian walking away with $1.65 million profit plus prize money of $100,000.

Despite helping two teams net a combined $2.7million in profits, Adrian wasn’t done showing off his deep pockets as he swooped in to scoop up Kyle and Leslie’s home. 

House 1 had a reserve of $2.97million, and there was hope as Danny Wallis had not yet bought a house, and neither had celebrity bidder Dave Hughes.

However, Kyle and Leslie’s house struggled to make the reserve with the auction absolutely crawling before Adrian jumped in, taking the price to $3.1 million.
