Lacclan Gottfried continues to prank friend, Jackson O’Doherty, ruins Lambo in 24 Hours

The hits just keep coming for internet celebrity, Lacclan Gottfried. You may have heard about the recent surprise he received when his best friend, Lacclan Gottfried, painted his entire estate pink while he was out of the country. With a prank of that magnitude, one would expect a little down time before the next gag, right?

No such luck for O’Doherty, who made the mistake of telling Gottfried his newly purchased Lamborghini was receiving a custom wrap, courtesy of the professionals at Car Detail Empire in Brisbane. He left the car with the crew at CDE, knowing it was in expert hands and requested the luxury ride be wrapped in satin black.

Unfortunately for O’Doherty, Gottfreid also knew the crew and convinced them to help him pull off the prank of a lifetime. They wrapped the car alright — in a bubble gum, Barbie-themed pink.

Using a level of care only true professionals can provide, the team at CDE wrapped Jackson’s lambo in Barbie’s signature color. Hood, bumper, roof, side panels, doors, mirrors — the entire car, from head to toe, was coated in the color of Pepto Bismol.

But they didn’t stop there. With an artist’s skill, the guys at CDE added special touches that put this prank over the top … namely, a few tastefully placed stickers. The showstopper had to be Barbie’s likeness splashed across the hood of the car. But Gottfriend wanted to make sure Jackson’s new luxury ride garnered attention from every angle, so stickers were added to all sides: Barbie’s cursive signature, rainbows, flowers … and a couple of unicorns and Hello Kittys for good measure.

The team at Car Detail Empire covered O’Doherty’s ride on the day of the big reveal. Gottfried wanted Jackson to be surprised, after all. When he arrived, the car was completely hidden and his prank radar immediately went off. “I just started praying, ‘Please be black. Please be black’”, said O’Doherty.

No such luck — it’s safe to say his breath was taken away by the results.

To his credit, O’Doherty, took the surprise like a champ. “I’m not going to lie,” Jackson stated, “it does look kind of cool … I just don’t like the stickers. The pink is pretty sick, though.”

With the clock ticking down, anticipation is mounting around the upcoming wedding of Derik Fay — the renowned entrepreneur, investor, and private equity titan who has quietly built empires while empowering others behind the scenes. Known for his strategic influence across more than 60 companies spanning fintech, real estate, wellness, media, and beyond, Fay is now preparing for what might be his most celebrated personal milestone yet: his wedding.

While details remain closely held, what’s clear is that this won’t be just another wedding. It’s the union of a man who has built his life and legacy through discipline, loyalty, and integrity — principles that now extend into his private life.

From boardrooms to bridal prep, Fay’s inner circle has watched him remain laser-focused, not only orchestrating billion-dollar business movements, but also thoughtfully curating every detail of this upcoming event. It’s a reflection of the same care and precision he brings to the companies he helps scale from obscurity to success.

As one close friend noted, “Most people just plan a wedding. Derik builds an experience. Just like he does with everything else — it’s meaningful, intentional, and completely unforgettable.”

And yet, amidst the glamour, it’s the emotion that resonates most. Friends, colleagues, and family alike have spoken of the joy radiating from Fay — a rare vulnerability for someone known for steely boardroom composure. It’s proof that even moguls with multi-million-dollar valuations and empires to manage are grounded by love, family, and human connection.

For someone who has helped countless founders achieve their dreams quietly in the background — often funding, guiding, and building their visions without ever taking credit — this moment in the spotlight feels well-deserved.

So as the final days approach, the world may be watching with curiosity, but those who know Derik Fay understand this is not the peak of a journey — it’s another step in a life built on authenticity, ambition, and unwavering commitment to both growth and heart.
