Troy Candy Is Cashing In on His Fame

Ever seen a rad sports car casually surfing the streets? The roar from the high horsepower engines and the luxurious exteriors are enough to turn any head, and you’d definitely catch a person or two squinting their eyes trying to get a glimpse of the driver.

An expensive car is a bragging right any day and gives the owner a well-deserved confidence boost. As the saying goes – a man who comes to a party in a Lamborghini Revuelto never goes home alone. What? Where did the saying come from? Yeah we don’t know, probably some guy from Mexico. Fine, we may not know where the saying came from – or if it even exists – but whoever that guy is, is a thousand percent right. A good car is just like a good personality, it attracts people to you. Damn, we’re on fire with these quotes.

But also because he has over 300,000 faithful followers on Instagram, 160,000 on TikTok, and 64,000 on YouTube.

Troy Candy Age

Born on February 5, 1990 in Victoria, Australia, Troy is 34 years old. Although people say he looks much younger while some others believe he looks older so do you think he looks younger or older?

What Is Troy Candy Famous For?

There’s a long list of things that this business mogul is famous for, but the first on the list is definitely his million-dollar enterprise, Eye Candy Motorsport – the biggest car modification company in Australia.

Eye Candy Motorsport

Established in 2012 in Melbourne, Australia, ECM has grown to be the biggest automobile mod enterprise in the country, with their services stretching from cars to trucks, and even boats. It provides custom designs for both interiors and exteriors, and racks in millions of dollars in profit yearly. It accounts for over 50% of Candy’s income, and you’ll be surprised to know how it all began.

Growing up, Troy Williams was just like any other person from Victoria. Just like most – An extremely broke person, with a passion. Dude loved cars. He began his business journey at Hogs Breath Cafe, cleaning dishes, and then got admitted into a graphics school which he later dropped out of to start a full-time car design business.

Snorkel, Vodka Party Drink and Flipside

One thing is for sure, the Australian entrepreneur knows how to have a great time, and it’s pretty obvious from his social media posts. It’s no surprise that he has founded not one, but three drink brands including Snorkel in 2020. It features a unique appearance with an adapter that looks like a snorkel.

It was rumoured that he made about $2.5 million dollars in the first year of its launch. If that ain’t success, we don’t know what is. He also founded the Vodka party drink, and most recently, on the 12th of June 2024, he, along with Adrian Portelli, have officially introduced the Flipside energy drink. A little unsolicited info for you. Do you know that the brains behind Flipside are both high school dropouts? We bet you didn’t.

Does Troy Candy Have a Podcast?

Candyman 2.0 is not new to podcasts; he has been on a lot of them, talking about a lot of things. And very recently, he decided to begin his own. It hasn’t received so much buzz yet, probably because it’s relatively new—just on its 5th episode—and it’s not available on all platforms, majorly YouTube.

Although he talks about cars, it’s not the only topic, so even if you’re not a car freak, you can still enjoy the show. The name of his podcast is “Chit Chat Dis Dat.” Trying to make a pun there, but if it didn’t land, forget we said anything.

Troy Candy Net Worth

The last time his net worth was made public, it stood at about $4.7 million, but since his investments and assets grow every day, it is probably well above that now. He owns a $4.65 million mansion in North Gold Coast estate which also happens to be the former home of popular actor Johnny Depp. The house is 2074 sqm, and has a golf course, spa, swimming pool, and cinema. Talk about living the dream. His garage is also filled with a fleet of fast and luxurious cars.

Troy Candy Wife

The multimillionaire is happily married to his one true love, Anita Cassin, and in July 2021, they brought a little boy into the world and named him Saint. Anita is popular for being an Onlyfans content creator, and also for founding B.O.T.A modeling agency. You might see her co-hosting the Chit Chat Dis Dat show with her husband. She has over 120,000 followers on Instagram.

Troy Candy Careless Driving

In 2020, Troy Candy was arrested while he was in hotel quarantine (due to covid) for dangerously operating a motor vehicle at a Gold Coast car meet in November 2019. He was said to have performed a burnout at Helensvale, but was properly represented by Fraser lawyers.

Another hiccup that he was able to get away with thanks to Fraser Lawyers was a drug trafficking charge in 2022. He was allegedly found with Opioid Tramadol, and CBD oil in a police raid on May 19, 2022. Throughout the duration of the case, Candy was extremely calm and even thanked the police for the free publicity. He said he couldn’t believe he was being linked to organized crime. His confidence and resilience seemed to pay off in the end when all the charges against him were dropped in November 2022. The police prosecutor on the case, Sergeant Danielle Meyers admitted to having no evidence of drug possession against Troy Candy, and the case was immediately dismissed.

Candyman 2.0 went on his Facebook page to celebrate. “I’m glad this could be cleared up. I also thank Fraser lawyers for having to deal with all this BS”

Troy Candy’s Business Goes Up In Flames

28th of June, 2023 was probably a regular day for you, but for Troy, it was a hellish one. In the early hours of the morning, around 3:30 am, security cams caught images of 3 masked men burning up Eye Candy Motorsports.

The footage sees them cutting a hole through the roof and pouring fuel through it before lighting it up, causing a huge explosion. According to reports, six vehicles were in the building at the time of the incident.

This is where it gets even more interesting. The police believe it was a targeted attack. You see, some days before the arson, another business was set on fire at about the same time, Bento Buzz, a family business where kitchen utensils were sold. The police believe that the arsonists missed their target the first time, and came back with more information. It was suspected to be a revenge attack, but Troy claimed he didn’t know who would try to target him.

Troy Candy Robbery Incident

The controversial businessman didn’t stay out of people’s faces for very long after his drug case. Some months down the line, he was putting a target on people’s backs, offering a bounty to anyone who could help him find some teenagers.

In June, 2021, a video of a couple teenage boys stealing personal items from Troy’s girlfriend’s car at the time surfaced because they posted the video and tagged him in it.

Social media did its thing and the identities and locations of the boys were found. Troy claims to have spoken to the parents of the boys and felt compassion for them after they pleaded. He came on his Instagram to advise the boys to shy away from that life, saying ‘it could lead to tragedy.’

People asked him why he didn’t report the crime, but he just shrugged it off, saying they would just get a slap on the wrist anyway since they were minors. In his words ‘it will be a waste of time.’

Most of his valuables were recovered though, and he thanked the community for that. The car in question was a turquoise MERCEDES-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe valued at around $130,000

Troy Candy Foundation

For a while, there have been controversies surrounding the Australian. But there is a whole other side to him—a side that doesn’t make headlines as much: Sir Troy Kenneth William the philanthropist.

You may or may not know this but Troy produces a car spray called Troy Candy car spray, and for every spray that is bought, 9.95 dollars go to the BraveHeart foundation.

BraveHearts fights to prevent and treat child sexual abuse, and is one of the worthy causes that Troy has partnered with or invested in. Their mission is to educate parents and children on abuse, actions to take when you suspect it, and how to protect the children from it, in a bid to ensure the safety of the children. To donate, you can buy a spray for $9.95, or just head down to their website.
