Phillip Johnathan Harrisson was pulled over in a luxury Audi sports car on Friday he was allegedly in possession of Viagra, ecstasy and methamphetamine, known as ice.
The young bricklayer and carpenter told officers the government gave him the luxury vehicle, he also told them he was a multi-billionaire worth $12 billion the court heard.
The court heard the 29-year-old has a bank balance of $596 million and a property portfolio of $1.56 billion
But when duty lawyer Nick Hanly asked his client where his wealth had come from Harrison said 'he wasn't at liberty to say'.
'At this point, I was considering getting mental health to come in,' Mr Hanly said.
But then at Harrison's request the lawyer logged into his clients online bank account.
It showed a cash balance of $596 million and a property portfolio of $1.56 billion.
It is believed Harrison only came into the substantial amount of wealth sometime in the last 12 months.
A net worth of $12 billion would put the tradie in the league of Harvey Norman co-founder Gerry Harvey, mining magnate Andrew Forrest and property and construction king Lang Walker if legitimate.
'I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes,' Mr Hanly said of Harrison's bank balance.
