Blair Mcdonough, 36
SEASON 1, 2ND PLACE, 2001
Blair came second in the inaugural season of Big Brother, and soon launched a successful acting career, scoring a role in
Neighbours. He picked up some TV work in the UK, then came home to star in Sea Patrol, Dancing With The Stars, Home And Away and Winners & Losers. He and wife Kristi Townley, who have daughter Leni, three, and son Van, nine months, live in luxury in Melbourne. “Blair is a great saver and he invested in property almost from the moment he received his first pay cheque, so he’s done really well,” says one mate. “He is sitting on a couple of million dollars’ worth of property, and lives off his investments in between acting gigs.”
