Andrew Tate Launches $100M Lawsuits as Police Freeze His Supercar Money

Big-tech lawsuits in the U.S. and a frozen supercar deposit in Britain — Tate’s week just took another wild turn.

Andrew Tate just picked a new fight — and caught another legal blow in the same week.

On Sunday, August 17, the 38-year-old controversial influencer took to X (formerly Twitter) to declare war on big tech, mainstream media, and “every twitter account that defamed me” — claiming he’s set aside $400 million of personal funds to fight Google, Meta, TikTok, and anyone else he says helped “cancel” him.

In the post, Tate called it a battle of “good vs evil” and vowed to lose his entire fortune — even live on the street — if that’s what it takes to defeat what he calls “The Matrix.”

That scorched-earth promise comes just days after his lawyer filed twin $100 million federal lawsuits in Los Angeles, accusing the social media giants of defamation and conspiracy for banning him from their platforms.

It also lands on the heels of a U.K. court approving a police request to freeze and seize £180,000 (roughly $230K) Tate had paid as a deposit on an Aston Martin Valhalla supercar. According to Devon & Cornwall Police, investigators believe the money traces back to untaxed crypto involved in a VAT-evasion and money-laundering probe. The ex-kickboxer and his brother, Tristan Tate, did not oppose the order in court, and police formally announced the seizure on August 15.

While the U.S. suits and the U.K. seizure appear unrelated, they’re unfolding against a larger legal backdrop. In May, ReuterU.K. prosecutors authorized 21 criminal charges — 10 against Andrew, 11 against Tristan — including rape and human-trafficking counts tied to an alleged webcam business. The brothers deny the allegations and say they are being targeted.
