Years active	2004–present

Trevor Butler is a television figure primarily recognized for his victory in the fourth season of Big Brother Australia in 2004. He stands as the inaugural and, up to November 2024, sole contestant to secure the $1 million prize—the largest sum ever awarded on an Australian game show—positioning him among the top-earning TV personalities in Australia.

Butler attracted further media focus when he proposed to his then-partner Breea Forrest during the live broadcast of the final eviction night. His prize money sparked debate regarding taxation, as the Australian Taxation Office initially deemed the winnings taxable income; however, they ultimately permitted him to retain the entire amount.

He made a comeback as a participant on Big Brother 14, competing alongside other previous champions. Butler was the sixth housemate to be evicted, concluding the season in 16th place.
