Andrew Tate

An American-British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. After his kickboxing career, Tate and his brother, Tristan, began operating a webcam model business, followed by selling online courses; notably Hustler's University, which gained 100,000 subscribers, later rebranded to The Real World, and the secretive War Room group. His controversial commentary has resulted in de-platforming from various social media platforms and concern from advocacy groups, charities, non-profit organisations, teachers, parents, mental health experts, as well as UK counter-terror police. Surveys have found that most Britons have heard of Tate, who is viewed favourably among many young men, considered influential, and has been dubbed the "king of toxic masculinity" by multiple media outlets, as part of the "manosphere". With appearances on conspiracy news site InfoWars, Tate has been described as a right-wing and far-right influencer, and has described himself as "absolutely" misogynistic and sexist. In August 2023, it was estimated that Tate's online ventures generated US$5 million in revenue per month. As of December 2023, Tate had over 8.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) and was the third-most "googled" person in 2023.
