Andrew Tate rented supercars to appear 'uberwealthy', lawyers say
Court filings say the brothers rented a $2.1 million Aston Martin and two Bugattis while using luxury cars to market their online businesses.
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.
