Andrew Tate, often referred to as the most googled man on the planet, is a kick-boxing champion who moved on to offering online webcam services and courses giving advice on wealth accumulation (Hustlers University, now the War Room and The Real World). His followers feel empowered by his demands of self-discipline, independence and making a living outside of a regular 9-5 job. His critics call him misogynistic and a dangerous role model for young men encouraging them to objectify and abuse women. He is currently banned on most social media platforms, but his content flourishes and the reinstatement on X (formerly Twitter) made him even more popular than before. In October 2022 he announced his conversion to Islam. In December 2022, he was arrested, alongside his brother, in Romania on charges of rape, human trafficking and a host of other charges. They were held for several months before being moved to house arrest; although this has now been relaxed, the case is on-going.
