Controversial entrepreneur Adrian Portelli is preparing to return to Melbourne after spending several months living a glamorous life in Dubai – despite recently claiming the Middle Eastern city felt 'safer' than Australia. The project marks Portelli's latest attempt to expand his ever-growing business empire beyond the promotions platform that made him famous. Through LMCT+, Portelli built a massive following by offering members the chance to win luxury cars, multi-million-dollar homes and other high-end prizes. The timing of his return to Australia also coincides with the upcoming launch of his new television venture. His return to Melbourne is particularly notable given the controversy he sparked while living overseas.
