The Block winners revealed after nail-biting auction
The winners of the 2024 season of The Block have been crowned, after the nail-biting auction came to a dramatic end on Sunday night.
In a break from tradition, it was the last house sold that made the most money, with sisters Maddy and Charlotte making a huge $1,550,00 profit from their house, as well as the $100,000 prize money.
The sisters, aged just 25 and 22, were in disbelief at how quickly it was all over.
“It took us a second to be like, ‘No, no. Like, you just won The Block.’ And I think I was a bit of a stunned mullet,” Maddy said.
“I was expecting anticipation and to be, like, ‘Oh, what’s gonna happen next?’ It was like, ‘Well, you’ve won.’ It’s like … time to go. It was the quickest auction of the day; it was over so quickly.”
Coming in second were Courtney and Grant with $1,300,050 profit, followed by Kristian and Mimi in third place with $1,030,000.
Fourth were Haydn and Ricky who made $750,000 and coming in last, but still smiling, were Kylie and Brad who made $650,000.
Kylie, who was embroiled in much on-screen drama this season, said all the hardships of the show were worth it, and they were happy with their result.
"It was worth it," she said. "Unfortunately. Because I was a different person here. But… we made it. We're very grateful."
Millionaire "Lambo guy" Adrian Portelli made a splash at what he said would be his final Block auction, as he ended up spending $15,030,000 in one day and breaking a Block record by purchasing every single house.
