Adrian Portelli has spoken out about the lukewarm reception of his new Channel Seven reality TV series My Reno Rules - and revealed whether he and his partner plan to have any more children.

The billionaire entrepreneur, 37, launched the LMCT+ petrol station in Preston, Victoria, on Wednesday night with hundreds of his loyal followers turning up to see him in the flesh.

At the event, Portelli exclusively told Daily Mail that he is unbothered by the middling reception of his new series, which premiered on Seven on Tuesday night.

'It's been one episode! Once the whole season is finished, then I will take the criticism,' Portelli said.

'But for now, just sit down, watch the show and enjoy it!' 

He also revealed whether he and his partner Karlie Butler planned to have any more children, after welcoming their second child, daughter Ayla Grace, in February. 

'I don't know yet... We'll sort this petrol out and then I'll get to work!' Portelli joked. 

On Wednesday night, the outgoing entrepreneur officially opened the first of his chain of petrol stations – and the event was marred by an accident after an e-bike rider was struck by a car.

Chaos erupted as hoons swarmed the area in souped-up vehicles, and an electric bike rider collided with a car on the road and was sent flying into the air, landing on the road.

The e-bike rider's condition is uncertain, but witnesses say he got up after the collision and fled the area.

Police, who were already on the scene investigating another car outside the event, chased the e-bike rider on foot.

The car being inspected by police was eventually towed from the scene.

Police tailed Portelli's convoy moments after he left the event – one car, not Portelli's, was pulled over. 

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.

At one point, security was forced to chase off a driver idling at a green traffic light, revving his engine and blocking the road. 

Although petrol was not yet available for sale, those in attendance lined up instead for the food on offer, with the 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. 

One lucky member of the public walked away from the petrol station $1million richer thanks to Portelli's generosity.

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

Speaking to the Daily Mail on the night, Portelli said that he aims to serve his community by offering petrol at competitive prices as Australia faces shortages.

'Yeah, look, I'm gonna do what I can to relieve that,' Portelli said of the country's fuel crisis. 

'I've got my customer base that have supported me over the years, so I'm willing to take a hit to the pocket to support them in these times.'

Portelli indicated that he was likely to take a financial hit due to his low prices, which he intends to increase at some stage.

'This is just something to say thank you. But you know, we're gonna obviously have to at some point increase our prices, but like I said, we're gonna give wholesale fuel,' he said.

The price of fuel in Australia doubled for drivers in the weeks after conflict broke out in the Middle East and Iran closed shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, with some service stations even running dry. 

But months before the ongoing fuel crisis began, Portelli said that his service stations would offer 'discount' fuel prices, with the first location now open in Melbourne. 

Portelli, from Melbourne, has an estimated worth of $1.4billion.

He made the majority of his wealth through his LMCT+ business, which exploited a loophole in gambling regulation, along with property investment and a supercar collection.
