Andrew Tate’s Luxury Cars Were Rented, Lawyers Say

Andrew Tate’s two Bugattis — worth $5 million and $7 million — and an Aston Martin totaling $2.1 million, frequently featured in the influencer’s videos, were not owned by him, according to his lawyers. Instead, the ultra-expensive vehicles were rented. The revelation emerged from court documents submitted on August 21 in the ongoing extradition proceedings.

While the disclosure does not necessarily mean other vehicles featured in the Tate brothers’ videos were also rented, it adds a new layer to the public persona of the self-styled "misogynist influencer" who has amassed millions of followers.

Legal Battle and Charges

The Tates are fighting a UK extradition order in a U.S. court after their arrest in Miami, Florida, last month. British authorities have accused the brothers of rape, sex trafficking, and assault. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has issued a total of 38 new charges, bringing the overall tally to 42 charges against Andrew Tate and 17 against Tristan Tate.

According to the CPS, Andrew Tate faces seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and 19 additional charges for offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Tristan Tate faces one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape, and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.

The CPS is seeking to extradite the brothers on the new charges as well as the original 21 they were given in May 2025, with Andrew facing 10 and Tristan 11. Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the CPS, said the new charges bring the total number of alleged victims to seven.

The Tate brothers, who are dual British-US citizens, have denied any wrongdoing. Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, told TMZ that the new charges are "ridiculous, salacious, and meant to make headlines."

Russia Video Controversy

Separately, a video shot by the brothers in Russia has been reported as alleged political propaganda to the UK’s Home Office. In the clip, Andrew and Tristan dressed in camouflage and body armor while hopping on a Soviet-era tank. They also threw grenades from a trench and handled a flamethrower.

Accusations of financial assistance from Russians have followed, to which the brothers’ representative told LBC the visit was “private and personal” and added, “no payment or assistance was received from any state.”

Additional Revelations

Court documents also indicate that the $50 million superyacht featured in their social media posts does not belong to the Tates; they were paid to promote it. Furthermore, the valuation of Andrew Tate’s watch collection is based on a third-party enthusiast publication, according to court documents.

In a now-viral Twitter exchange with Greta Thunberg in 2022, Andrew Tate claimed to have 33 cars. Thunberg’s response to his tweet has more than 578,000 shares and 3.3 million likes, compared to 25,000 shares and 201,000 likes on Tate’s initial message.

Summary

The revelation that Tate’s three signature cars were rented, alongside the mounting legal charges and the Russia video scrutiny, paints a complex picture of the influencer’s public image. As the legal proceedings continue, both in the U.S. and potentially in the UK, the Tate brothers remain under intense scrutiny.
