Infamous Australian Party House Surpasses $1 Million Valuation

The Melbourne house that became the site of one of Australia's most notorious teenage parties in 2008 has emerged as a property success story, with its valuation now approaching $1 million.

The four-bedroom residence in Narre Warren South was the scene of a large party hosted by then-16-year-old Corey Worthington, who invited attendees via MySpace and MSN while his parents were away. The invitation spread quickly, leading to approximately 500 teenagers gathering at the suburban home.

The event resulted in significant property damage, public disturbance, and a substantial police response involving helicopters and the dog squad. However, the property's financial trajectory has since improved.

Originally purchased in 2002 for $320,000, current online property estimates suggest the home is now valued between $930,000 and $1.17 million.

Corey Worthington gained national notoriety following the party, particularly after a viral interview with A Current Affair. In the interview, sporting distinctive sunglasses and attire, he famously refused to remove his glasses and responded to questions about advice for partygoers with "Get me to do it for you." This defiant demeanor cemented his place in Australian pop culture.

Following the widespread attention, Worthington leveraged his fame through various media appearances, including a stint on Big Brother and competing on Australian Ninja Warrior. He also pursued DJ gigs.

Now 35, Worthington has undergone a significant personal transformation. He now has extensive tattoos and has embraced marriage, fatherhood, and youth advocacy work. Reflecting on the 2008 party in a 2015 interview, Worthington stated he had matured and expressed apologies to his parents, while noting that positive outcomes also stemmed from the event.
