Tate, 35, is a former professional kickboxer, entrepreneur and content creator, who runs an online course in “modern wealth creation” at his own “Hustlers University”, which he founded.
He is known for his controversial opinions on women and masculinity, and is a divisive figure on social media. He first came to prominence outside of the sport while appearing on the 2016 season of Big Brother in the UK, which ended in controversial circumstances.
Tate gained notoriety at the time after he was evicted from the series after a video surfaced online appearing to show him beating a woman with a belt. Speaking at the time, Tate claimed that it was part of role play to which the woman in the video had consented. He also said he was using a felt belt.
Speaking about his personal wealth, he recently said in an interview: “I was broke for a long time. I made my first million when I was say 27 and then I had a 100 million by the time I was 31,32 and then I became a trillionaire quite recently.”
