Andrew Tate built a brand around wealth, power, and influence. His rise began in kickboxing, where he won titles and gained a reputation for his confidence and sharp personality.
When his fighting career ended, he transitioned into business, promoting online courses and lifestyle coaching.
His social media presence exploded, attracting millions of followers who saw him as a symbol of success.
He flaunted luxury cars, private jets, and extravagant homes, presenting himself as someone who had mastered the art of making money.
Moved up to £10 million
Authorities in the UK and Romania are now investigating financial dealings tied to Tate, revealing millions of pounds moved through British bank accounts.
A woman identified as "J" played a key role in managing these funds, moving up to £10 million through multiple accounts.
According to Digi24, these transactions helped finance Tate’s lavish lifestyle, covering expenses for properties in Romania and luxury cars such as a Bugatti and a Lamborghini.
Documents reviewed by The Sunday Times show that as UK and Romanian law enforcement agencies increased scrutiny in 2022, J transferred £805,000 using cryptocurrency.
This came after authorities began freezing Tate’s accounts, prompting efforts to move funds. Devon & Cornwall Police later obtained court orders to seize £2.7 million linked to these activities.
A large portion of the money came from Hustlers University and The War Room, two businesses Tate marketed to young men as pathways to financial success.
Some funds also came from British customers who subscribed to these programs.
Records show that Tate used UK bank accounts to send nearly £500,000 to Georgiana Naghel, a Romanian woman believed to be a former partner.
The UK court proceedings described Tate and his brother, Tristan, as "serial tax evaders."
Authorities claim the way funds were moved showed clear signs of money laundering, with efforts to obscure their sources.
In December, a judge ruled that police had grounds to seize the assets, determining that Tate and J attempted to hide the origins of their financial gains.
Tate, recently released from house arrest in Romania, remains under judicial restrictions, preventing him from leaving the country.
He and his brother deny all accusations, but legal action against them continues.
