Just four years ago, Queensland captain Cameron Munster was a self-confessed Tinder addict, losing thousands every weekend on gambling, and found himself in rehab after being caught with cocaine.
Now, on the day of the Origin decider, the wildchild larrikin turned superstar player and business-savvy, millionaire property owner is mourning the death of his father.
But instead of taking time off, the Maroons skipper is determined to play in honour of his dad.

The 31-year-old’s on-field transformation in recent years triggered an off-field revolution that has seen him branch out into property investment and business ventures, all while rubbing shoulders with some of the country’s most powerful people.

Munster now owns multiple properties, including a number of investment properties in Queensland.

Records show they include a three-bedroom home in Mooloolaba, which he purchased in May 2020 for $650,000, and a four-bedroom home in Peregian Springs, which he bought in 2016 for $575,000.
It was last listed for rent in December 2023 for $820 a week.
As well as climbing the property ladder, Munster teamed up with Terella Brewing to create an alcoholic ginger beer called Mad Dog — a tribute to his moniker at the Storm.
