Outside the front of his home, Shannon had a large sign which read ‘honesty box charity’, suggesting all proceeds were being donated.
One of the chef’s sons was also spotted holding up a sign that read ‘garage sale’.
Shannon shares six children, Phoenix, Hendrix, Xascha, Xanthe, Xahlia and Margaux, with his ex-girlfriend Madeleine West.
The former couple, who never married, announced their split in 2018 after 13 years of dating.

Despite their break-up, the pair relocated with their kids to Byron Bay in 2019 after selling their marital home in Toorak, Melbourne, for $16million.
Following their split, Madeleine said she was unlikely to ever get back together with Shannon, whom she had dated between 2005 and 2018.
She told The Kyle and Jackie O Show their needs no longer aligned after more than a decade together.

‘I’m a big believer that everything in life has a season. We change. We evolve,’ she said.
‘At some point we go, “Well, I have certain needs I want to have met and you’ve got certain needs and if the two don’t combine and cross in the middle, why fight it and be miserable?”
‘I don’t think that’s fair to the children either to see two parents that are constantly across purposes.’
