Andrew Tate rented supercars to appear 'uberwealthy', lawyers say
Their lawyers say the brothers rented luxury vehicles and were paid to promote a $50 million superyacht to build an online image.
- 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.

- 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.
