The real world portal platform that teaches its members how to create their own businesses, build wealth and achieve financial freedom. Its founder, Andrew Tate, is a former professional kickboxer with various business ventures under his belt. The program claims to offer access to exclusive resources, mentorship and a community of 280,000 like-minded individuals. It also promises a “financial breakthrough”.
Unlike Hustlers University, which ran on Discord servers and used third-party payment processors, Real World operates on its own custom-built server infrastructure with self-reliant systems that make it impervious to matrix attacks. Tate’s new platform also has its own payment processor and a license to accept money on his behalf, so it can be independently audited and verified as being transparent.

For Tate’s devoted followers, the new platform seems to be exactly what they’re looking for. But VICE has spoken to former students and the broader business community about their experiences with the company, and what they reveal is a pyramid scheme that exploits young, naive kids while funnelling them towards misogynistic ideologies.
Among the complaints are that instructors push students to work unsustainably long hours, often recommending that they work up to 16 hours a day and only sleep three hours a night. They are also instructed to promote sex trafficking as the key to building their fortunes, and to follow the lead of an instructor who has boasted about his success with pimping women online.
