what does danny do with the block houses

Danny Wallis mostly uses the Block houses as investments and for charity, rather than as personal homes.

Who “Danny” Is

  • “Danny” refers to Melbourne businessman and rich-lister Danny Wallis, a long‑time buyer at Australian TV show The Block auctions.
  • He has bought around a dozen Block properties over multiple seasons, spending tens of millions of dollars in total.

What He Does With The Block Houses

  • Several of the houses are held as investment properties , rented out or kept in his Victorian portfolio as long‑term assets.
  • Some homes are used for philanthropy , including donating or dedicating properties to children’s cancer charity My Room so families have somewhere to stay during treatment.

Recent Moves And Plans

  • Wallis has announced plans to sell many of his Victorian investment homes , largely due to changes in state land tax that would make holding them very expensive.
  • He has already started listing and selling some past Block houses (for example, a St Kilda house from the 2019 season) as part of this sell‑down.

Why His Approach Stands Out

  • His distinctive bidding style, often using unusual figures like repeating numbers or adding small amounts (like cents or a single extra dollar), has become a trademark on The Block.
  • Between the charity use and the scale of his spending, he is seen as both an eccentric investor and a notable supporter of families dealing with childhood cancer.
