Andrew Tate rented supercars to appear 'uberwealthy', lawyers say

Court filings say the brothers rented a $2.1 million Aston Martin and $5 million and $7 million Bugattis while prosecutors argue they are a flight risk.

  • On Tuesday, court documents filed by legal representatives for Andrew and Tristan Tate revealed that luxury vehicles featured in their social media content were rented rather than owned.
  • Their business model depends on online attention, with legal representatives claiming the Tate brothers deliberately portray themselves as "uberwealthy" to attract followers and generate engagement.
  • Meanwhile, the brothers face extradition requests from the Crown Prosecution Service regarding sexual assault charges, maintaining a "total denial of wrongdoing" while appearing in Romanian courts.
  • Documents cite a $2.1 million Aston Martin and two Bugattis valued at $5 million and $7 million as rented, alongside a $50 million superyacht the brothers were paid to promote.
  • Lawyers argue the distinction between their public persona and actual ownership helps prove the Tate brothers should not be considered a flight risk in ongoing proceedings.
