World champion kickboxer and multi-millionaire Andrew Tate has amassed an impressive following through TikTok in recent months.
Due to his controversial opinions and money-making tips, no one can stop talking about this influencer. His net worth is an enigma–no one can say with certainty what it is; however, he’s appeared to have made a lavish lifestyle for himself with his business ventures.
Has his hustling nature made him the richest TikTok personality to date?
Let’s dive in.
Where’s His Money Coming From?
After training to be a professional kickboxer in Luton, Andrew Tate began competing in the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.
In a five-year period, he earned three ISKA world champion titles and one Enfusion Live champion title. Yet, his impressive record did not bring in much cash.
Tate stated the most he ever made from a fight was one hundred thousand dollars. Now, he’s a commentator for the largest MMA promotion in Romania, Real Xtreme Fighting.
On top of this, he earns passive income through offering digital products and access to exclusive online communities on his official website, Cobratate.com. He founded Hustlers University 2.0 in 2021 with a goal to provide money making solutions to his loyal followers. The community of over 100,000 members have access to information about stock analysis, options plays, cryptanalysis, DeFi, E-commerce, copywriting, freelancing, flipping, financial planning, business management, and more for $49.99 a month. At that price point, Tate’s team would be raking in close to five million sales per month. Yet, Tate has said Hustlers University 2.0 is already valued at three hundred million. Those numbers don’t quite add up.
He Gets By With a Little Help From His Friends–and Brother
Andrew Tate’s brother, Tristan Tate, is essentially his right-hand man. They share each other’s wealth and successes by taking on business ventures and running a successful podcast together. They also have many shared properties.
The Tate brothers opened a chain of casinos in Romania and receive around two million in revenue each year. They also run a webcam business where men fall for models’ sob stories and run up significant debts. Meanwhile, the brothers collect millions per month. The brothers are opportunistic and run their businesses with a qualified team to generate the most profit.
What Tate has to say about having a strong network to back you up:
“It’s like the largest IQ test that possibly exists: if you understand that you’re the sum of your network, why is your network full of jackasses? Name the most important person on your phone, and I guarantee he’s not important enough for me to talk to him.”
His ideas of having a close-knit community of supporters translates to his business model. He has even formed a TikTok community without posting to the app. The amount of fan profiles on TikTok is truly shocking and cringeworthy. While we’re all for people with similar ideas coming together to share content they enjoy, it’s almost scary how many people want to be like and embody this man’s character.
Andrew Tate’s Hustler Mentality
But what is his net worth, really?
He’s always tip-toeing around questions about his income. Andrew Tate’s answers often drag on, and he can’t pinpoint an exact number. While he gives different answers to this question, it’s in part because he doesn’t know his own net worth. In an interview, he said a lot of his assets are constantly fluctuating, so it’s difficult for him to put a value on them.
In early July, he reported his net worth as around $100 million on The Fellas Podcast. Recently, Tate told Adin Ross during a Twitch stream that he’s the first trillionaire, but he hasn’t publicly released any information backing up this claim. He’s flaunted supercars such as a $5.6 million Bugatti Chiron and other high-end items. These show off his extravagant lifestyle and help rope in potential new members for his program. On yet another podcast, he said, “if I wanted to sit here and say my value is at five hundred million, I could prove that.” His proof relies on his words. As long as people believe what he’s selling, he’s as rich as he wants to be.
Let’s be clear—most of Tate’s remarks are heavily opinionated. However, there are some morsels of truth in his words. He has a vast knowledge of how to run businesses and turn profit. Although, we think it’s his belief in himself that he can accomplish anything he sets out to do that has influenced his income the most.
For example, he makes mad claims like:
“I could actually become Batman tomorrow. I have a Batcave and a Batmobile and Alfred and I’m ridiculously rich and I can fight etc. etc. I can become Batman any day I want. All I have to do is put on a suit and it’s DONE.”
With this mindset, Tate can say and believe anything he wants and in turn, there’s a big chance it’ll happen. He’s created an appearance that he has it all. Tate is operating with a hustler mentality and abundance is constantly headed his way. Whatever his net worth actually is, it doesn’t matter. As one user put it, “HE’S RICH ENOUGH.” As long as he’s on the public’s radar, he will keep pulling in the millions, or billions, or trillions.

The Wealthiest TikTokers
TikTok, the well-known streaming application, was officially launched in 2018 after a merging of Musical.ly and Douyin. Since its inception, the app has grown to colossal proportions due to its content creators, powerful algorithm, and use of catchy sounds. The users create new trends by posting anything they want, including unique skits and lip sync videos.
Recently, Andrew Tate has taken over TikTok. Despite not owning an official account on the platform, he has somehow infiltrated everyone’s #fyp. His videos have been reposted, edited, and displayed for all to see. Although he’s probably the most popular persona on the app right now, there have been plenty of TikTokers who have made it big on the app.
According to Forbes, “the platform’s highest-paid celebrities collectively hauled in $55.5 million in 2021.” Much of their income is earned from sponsored content, where brands can pay for posts on a creator’s account to advertise their services and/or products. Another thing to note, all the top earners are under 25, in contrast to the 35-year old Andrew Tate. Based on earnings made in 2021, the top three influencers on TikTok are Charli D’Amelio ($17.5 M), Dixie D’Amelio ($10 M), and Addison Rae ($8.5 M). Tate’s net worth is most likely valued higher than these other content creators. However, they built their following initially on TikTok, and Tate has been working on several other business ventures for years. He’s only as huge as he is on TikTok because of his supportive fan base, and he probably isn’t reeling in an income directly from the platform–yet. The posting comes mainly from members of Hustlers University 2.0 hoping to earn affiliate commission.
So, is Andrew Tate the Wealthiest TikTok Personality to date?
If we’re talking about numbers, and there’s a lot of them to go around, we would say there’s a strong chance he’s the wealthiest TikTok personality. Tate’s claims of multi-millions would put him far above the top content creators on the app. Although it’s difficult to know his exact net worth based on his changing claims, we can say for certainty that his network is his net worth. He’s had a support system behind the scenes and gained an impressive following that’s propelled him to his current status.
