"and then I became a trillionaire quite recently.”

I hope he didn't really say that.

I like Andrew Tate precisely for the entertainment value. It's a bit like watching the WWE, but with a bit more wits injected into the act.

I don't for a moment believe 90% of what he says. If he claimed to be a "trillionaire," I guess I'll just put that in the same category. If he claimed to be a billionaire, I'd also doubt that. He's a self-promoter, and an entertaining one (in my opinion). These teachers who profess concern probably also were the same ones predicting the WWE characters would cause indelible harm at some future point.

Tate's also a bit like Trump: There appears to be an orchestrated effort to take him off the field. If that effort fails, he'll only be stronger.

Thanks for this post, as always.

Yeah the orchestrated ad hominem always makes me question what's really going on.

I think it literally is the establishment not understanding the rise of an Andrew Tate figure while directly and indirectly causing his inception. We really do live in a 🤡 world.

I hadn’t really looked into Tate, so this comes as a satisfying and quick explainer. Basically a sort of internet age pimp that acts like a 80s action movie star. Feels like a lot of his schtick would’ve been pretty basic stuff a few decades ago.

“I was broke for a long time. I made my first million when I was, say, 27, and then I had 100 million by the time I was 32 and then I became a trillionaire quite recently.”

From what? He's obviously not even a billionaire what to speak of a trillionaire, but even if he's only a millionaire, how did he make that money?

We live in a world where the extremes are the norm in many ways. Andrew is what WE made him.
