Andrew Tate is undoubtedly among the most well-known influencers and frequently makes headlines with his controversial takes on sensitive issues.

Prior to his arrest, Andrew Tate was known for his flashy lifestyle that could only be funded by a constant stream of high income. Unsurprisingly, the former kickboxer makes his money through five enterprises.

As per sssamiti.org, Hustler's University is Andrew Tate’s main source of income, which claims to teach young people "how to become rich." A paid program that is available on Discord, Tate charges his students $49.99 monthly and promises to teach skills in e-commerce, marketing, freelancing, and finance.

Similarly, the former kickboxer also runs 'The War Room', a so-called secret society of men who seek freedom from "socially induced incarceration." Members pay roughly $5,800 to go through a mysterious “Test,” which involves sparring with an MMA fighter.

Tate is also in the casino business. After meeting a casino owner at an event in Romania, Andrew Tate decided to invest in the casino owner's business by opening a franchise of the casino. With his sponsorship in place, Tate went on to set up casinos under their brand name in Romania.

His most controversial venture is undoubtedly the webcam/OnlyFans business, which also got him arrested in Romania for allegations of human trafficking and rape.

Tate once claimed he employed 75 women to run his webcam business, making around $600,000 per month.


Andrew Tate to remain in jail as Romanian Court rejects fresh bail application

While Andrew Tate may have earned big with his webcam/OnlyFans business, the Romanian courts are not convinced about the innocence of his online enterprise.

Interestingly, Romanian prosecutors allege that Tate is one of four people who "appear to have created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content."

Andrew and his brother Tristian were arrested in December last year by the Romanian anti-organized crime unit during a raid carried out at his residence. Along with two accomplices, they have been accused of human trafficking and forming an organized crime ring.

The Tate brothers' detention period has been extended three times since their arrest in December 2022. Authorities can detain him without official charges for up to 180 days. The court recently denied their request to end their detention for the fifth time.

According to BBC News, Tate's representative stated that their team will appeal the hearing.
