The rise and fall of Australia’s self-styled wealth queen

📢 After a series of eyebrow-raising antics, Sydney lawyer and self-styled wealth guru Dominique Grubisa is feeling the heat.

Dominique Grubisa’s legal practice ban makes a rollicking read A decision to ban Dominique Grubisa from practising law found, among other things that Grubisa: instructed private investigators to pretend to be her customers to mislead, and get privileged inform…

Dominique Grubisa's legal practice ban makes for a rollicking read #auslaw thenaysayer.net/2025/10/04/d...

U.S. friends frightened by stranger (hotel staff?) entering room @ 12.30am @ Pullman Hotel Melbourne City. Friend demanded a refund. 'Manager' refused saying "I don't know how things are done where you're from". Friend thinks "Actually, where I come from person wld probably be shot".

There’s an inspirational (mis)quote to excuse anything.
Lawyer Dominique Grubisa
• banned by ASIC,
• $1 mill fine by ACCC,
• public warning by ATO,
• action by Law Society –
but says don’t “quit just before the breakthrough”.

Like the media re property 'guru' Dominique Grubisa - Google her now - nothing but investigations, prosecutions etc. but media lapped her up as a hero 6 years ago.

Reading @squigglyrick.bsky.social book is a reminder of scandalous abuse of ordinary people via Robodebt - I fear this is not over.

Court: "Misleading & deceptive" Dominique Grubisa/ DG Institute must publish on DGI website a link to info about how to claim a refund from her for misleading/deceptive conduct.

Grubisa:

Also unlikely to be quote from Gandhi or Schopenhauer. Excerpt from "Science, Pseudoscience, and The Three Stages of Truth", Jeffrey Shallit.

Case in point - Property wealth guru Dominique Grubisa - since her post, court fine of $1 mil, order for her co. to repay $15 mil & action against her by Privacy Commissioner, ASIC and Law Society!...so how long do we wait for her win?

Disgraced lawyer & property wealth guru Dominique Grubisa is being philosophical this week, as payment of her $1 mil fine becomes due, & her company is required to refund about $15 mil to customers.

DG Institute ordered to pay $14.7m in consumer refunds, and penalties of $5m, for misleading students in wealth seminars. The Federal Court has today ordered Master Wealth Control Pty Ltd (DG Institute) to pay $5 million in pecuniary penalties for making false or misleading representations to consumers in the promotion a...

Dominique Grubisa & Master Wealth Control's fanciful appeal fails on all 30 grounds. Decision (July 2024) in ACCC’s favour stands - DG & MWC misleading and deceptive conduct. DG - $1 mil fine. MWC $5mil fine & repay $15 mil to consumers.

Largest penalty ever imposed for breaches of Victoria’s energy laws and codes.

This crucial report into #financialabuse details what community orgs & #familyviolence services have been calling out for years.

Deep diving into the web of corporate entities that link new loan provider Quickle with disgraced predatory lenders Cigno Australia. At its heart are the two Swanepoel brothers, who share a love for ASIC registering all their companies to the same Gold Coast address.

CHOICE tests score them very low - just above water alone.

And yet to see the outcome of Law Society of NSW action seeking a disciplinary finding that she is guilty of professional misconduct.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is one of our most efficient agencies. Costs less than $1B a year & has fought to return over $20B directly to Americans.

But I guess it makes sense that a billionaire wants to eliminate one of the agencies that fights for working people. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Taxpayers give landlords billions in tax concessions.

It’s time we tied that to better conditions for renters.

Conditions some renters live in are appalling as photos from Better Renting show.

Australians deserve safe, affordable housing with things like longer leases & banning no cause evictions

Her lawyers arguing she’s not responsible for repeated misleading statements because despite being a lawyer she’s incompetent / ignorant of basic legal matters.

One downside of leaving X is losing some important old stories. Glad to see @estherrockett.bsky.social reminding us of when Serge Benhayon sued her for defo, but jury found he led a harmful cult & had indecent interest in young girls.
