A Channel 9 Today show host is in hot water after he was sent a $50,000 gift from Aussie billionaire Adrian Portelli. Alex Cullen was the first journalist to respond to a social media request made by Portelli, who offered $50,000 to anyone who called him “McLaren Man” in the media, instead of the nickname “Lambo Guy” which he has come to be known for.
Today show host stood down over gift from Adrian Portelli. Cullen dropped the upgraded moniker on-air during a live cross on Friday morning, even sharing footage of the moment on his Instagram account afterwards, tagging Portelli in the post. “We have a winner! Well played sir,” Portelli wrote in an Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of a bank transfer revealing the eye-watering sum. Nine said the money would be returned to Portelli and Cullen had stepped down in the meantime.
