Australian Influencer's 'Fit Check' Unearths Family Wealth, Sparks Immigration Debate

Melbourne, Australia – A recent 'fit check' video featuring Australian influencer Hugo, known as 'Auspilled,' has ignited a heated debate regarding wealth, property, and immigration. The video, initially appearing as a casual fashion segment, quickly delved into a critical examination of Hugo's family background and his public statements. During the 'fit check,' Hugo showcased his attire, including a jacket identified as 'West Germany' and a suit by 'Giorgio Armani' (Italian), while holding a small Australian flag. This display was juxtaposed with on-screen text revealing that his father, Anthony Lennon, is the Non-Executive Director of Peet, a major property development company, and that his grandfather, Tony Lennon, had a net worth of $340 million in 2019, now estimated at over $400 million. The video further highlighted Hugo's insistence that immigrants are responsible for Australia's current housing market issues. This stance drew sharp criticism, particularly given that his own family, as noted in the video, has immigrant roots and has accumulated significant wealth through property development. Critics argue that his family's business activities, including buying up and inflating property prices, contribute to the very housing affordability crisis he attributes to immigrants. The segment also captured a moment where a car was egged, with the video implying this was an act of protest. Public comments on the video reflect a strong division, with some viewers praising Hugo and others condemning his views and his family's wealth, questioning the origins of his clothing and the ethics of property ownership.
