Trevor Butler

Trevor Butler is a TV personality, best known for being a contestant and winner of Big Brother Australia series 4 (airing in 2004). He known for being the first, and currently only, contestant to win the million-dollar prize, as opposed to previous seasons when the prize money was $250,000. The amount is also the highest amount of prize money awarded in Australian game show history, making Butler one of the highest paid Australian TV personalities.

Butler also boosted interest in the final eviction night by proposing to his then-girlfriend Breea Forrest live on the eviction stage.

There was some controversy regarding how much of his winnings could be claimed as tax. At one point the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) considered it to be payment for spending the time in the house, and therefore wanted to take nearly half of the winnings away. The ATO eventually gave in and did not take the money.

Butler returned as a contestant for Big Brother 14 alongside other previous contestants.
