Andrew Tate is in hot water over tax evasion, but he’s treating it with the same nonchalance as if it were a parking ticket. A British court just slapped him and his brother, Tristan, with a major financial wake-up call. We’re talking about a whopping £2.7 million ($3.3 million) seizure due to tax evasion, and Andrew Tate responded by posting a picture on X (formerly known as Twitter) grinning like he just won a Grammy.
In the picture, Andrew Tate is beaming from ear to ear with eyes piercing through the screen. The caption reads: “Me in court for tax evasion.”
A user humorously (probably) commented: "Need advice on how to avoid tax."
Another user added: "Ah, a man of culture I see."
A user said: "It's a little boring compared to human trafficker. They could have found something more exciting."
A comment read: "Teach me your ways."
Another user came up with Tate-level response, posting:
A user went on to compare Andrew Tate with the brand ambassador of horror Terrifier's Art The Clown.
A user says: "Leave the man alone bruh yah got nothing."
$3.3 million seized from Andrew Tate
Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring didn’t mince words, calling the Tates’ financial maneuvering a “straightforward cheat,” reports Euro News.
So, between 2014 and 2022, the Tates reportedly dodged taxes on about £21 million ($26.5 million) they earned from ventures like Hustlers’ University and Cobra Tate.
Nearly $12 million was funneled into a mysterious third-party account under someone only identified as “J,” CBS News report said.
Well, Andrew Tate wasn’t exactly vibing with the court’s ruling. He went online and called the whole thing “outright theft.” According to him, it’s all part of a conspiracy because he’s a threat to the system. Sure, Andrew. And the water isn't wet.
Ironically, Tate has openly admitted in his videos that he wasn’t paying taxes in England.
The rise of Andrew Tate
If you’ve not come across one of the videos on the internet that made your blood boil at some point, let’s introduce to you — Andrew Tate. Long story short, he is a blend of kickboxing prowess, reality TV appearances (Big Brother, anyone?), and a knack for stirring up drama online.
Post-kickboxing, Tate leaned hard into building his online empire. With ventures like Hustlers’ University, he marketed himself as the ultimate alpha male, teaching young men how to get rich (allegedly) and dominate life. His polarizing takes on gender roles skyrocketed his popularity, earning him millions of followers—and just as many critics.
Whether it’s through motivational soundbites, over-the-top controversies, or legal battles, the man’s brand is controversy.
