Paul “Fatty” Vautin is one of the most beloved personalities in Rugby League, and if you’ve ever wanted to live and bask in the glory of a space he once called home, now’s your chance.

The former Manly and Queensland legend is selling his penthouse in Gold Coast the suburb of Mermaid Beach and they’re expecting offers of over $4 million. Not bad for a guy selling personalised cameo videos for 100 bucks a pop.

Fatty and his wife purchased the property 13 years ago for $1.8 million and have since renovated it, with Vautin saying, “I think we might have overpaid but we didn’t care, we just wanted it.”

Since then, the Vautins have been using it as a holiday house, as Fatty commuted around Australia for commentary spots and Footy Show recordings.

In an interview with realestate.com.au, Mrs. Vautin was described as a “renovation queen” and spoke of their intentions to build a new house for the couple to live in.

Along with two levels and a private lift, the apartment has a furnished roof that can fit around 100 people and has been rumoured to have hosted a fair amount of origin victory parties, meaning its sturdiness is beyond question.

The property is only a short walk from Nobby’s Beach, and while Fatty will no doubt miss making jokes about the name, his wife certainly won’t.

With Vautin now only commentating on Brisbane and Gold Coast games, the couple has time to spend in either of their two other coastal properties in Queensland, but the Fat has hinted that he may take some time away from the game, “We might even go travelling for a while, because we love travelling”

Unfortunately, the house will be stripped of all ornaments Fatty has collected throughout his career, although the most prized piece of Fatty memorabilia, the giant gloryhole, still sits safely at Hello Sport HQ.
