Earlier this month, it was revealed Tones and I had added to her lucrative property portfolio after buying her fourth home.

She also owns another home in Mount Eliza, which she bought for $5.1million in May last year, and a Byron Bay retreat she bought for $3.3million in December.

The rising star also bought another property in Melbourne’s Frankston for just $800,000 in January last year. 

Before finding fame, Tones and I slept in her van and started out busking on the streets of Melbourne and Byron Bay.

In an interview with KIIS FM’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show in May last year, Tones and I confessed she was ‘happy enough’ in her old life. 

‘It’s such a hard thing to talk about, because the life that I had before, some of it was the best time of my life,’ she said.

She added: ‘[I] never expected this to happen, just wanted to busk forever, and I was happy enough, I didn’t need anything.’
