As if that wasn’t enough, his next partner left him for the neighbour.
Hm, I’m beginning to see a pattern here.
Michael, 28
Location: Adelaide
Job: Company director
The tea: Well well well, another single dad. Michael has a toddler son and became a millionaire through his family’s business at age 24 so whoever he ends up with will likely share in the fam fortune. Ka-ching!
