He made his fortune from investing in the same businesses as Tristan. In fact, he was the one who mentored his younger brother in entrepreneurship.

Tristan Tate’s Financial Background was far from Affluent

The Tate siblings started experiencing financial difficulties after their parents got divorced and they went to live with their mother. Tristan opened up in an interview and narrated how he and his brothers use to eat leftovers from KFC. According to him, they would hang around an outlet near their house and patiently wait for the less hungry customers who wouldn’t finish eating their chickens.
When the people leave, the Take brothers would quickly move in and empty whatever was left on each person’s plate. The leftovers would then be used as dinner for them and sometimes, they would save some in the fridge to be eaten the next day. One of Tristan’s quotes says “Broke is a Mindset” and he has proved his capacity to break away from the shackles of poverty.

Tristan and his Brother May be Involved in Human Trafficking

Though they didn’t mention Andrew or Tristan, DIICOT (Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism) later issued a statement about the arrest.
The statement revealed that two Romanians and two British citizens were allegedly part of a large criminal gang involved in human trafficking. The arrested four were also accused of rape.
Earlier in April, Tristan and Andrew were caught by the police for allegedly holding two young ladies against their will. The said women were subjected to mental coercion and physical violence.
During the arrest, the Romanian police seized 11 luxury automobiles belonging to the Tate brothers. This includes a Porsche Carrera, a Rolls-Royce, a Bugatti Chiron, a BMW, and more.
