Among them was a Lamborghini Aventador, one of only a handful in Australia, with a price tag of about $800,000.
A dark blue Mercedes SLS63AMG Gullwing, valued at $500,000, was also stolen, as was a black BMW 335i that his wife, Brynne, uses as her zippy town car.
The BMW, which retails for about $126,000, had only recently returned to the Edelsten garage after a stint at the panel beaters.
Brynne was involved in a collision in April.
The thieves are thought to have entered the security carpark at the Exhibition St apartment block, where the limelight-loving couple live, early Sunday morning while Edelsten was in Adelaide.
It is believed the Lamborghini and the Mercedes were taken that day.
