Andrew Tate’s brother, Tristan, has revealed that the former kickboxing champion earned $52 million for his participation in last night’s Misfits Mania event.
Ahead of his fight against Chase DeMore, Tate was announced as the new CEO of Misfits Boxing, succeeding KSI. While this announcement appeared to be more of a promotional stunt, it is clear Tate received a significant share of the company’s profits for agreeing to the Dubai match.
The event was a major success for broadcaster Rumble Premium but proved damaging to Tate’s reputation. He struggled during the fight, ultimately losing to DeMore, a well-known reality TV personality.
Despite the loss, the Tate brothers continue to showcase their knack for making money across various ventures. Andrew Tate’s estimated net worth stands at around $700 million. On the Cars and Money podcast, Tristan explained that Andrew’s partial ownership in Misfits Boxing means he earned far more than just the fight purse.
Tristan confirmed the truth behind the rumors of Andrew becoming Misfits CEO, saying, “We asked for 10 percent of the company. If Andrew fights and becomes the face of Misfits, the company’s value increases by 50 percent, so getting 10 percent was a simple deal.” He claimed Misfits is worth $520 million, making Andrew’s payday roughly $52 million, excluding prize money.
He also hinted that KSI remains the majority shareholder but that the Tate involvement is strategically beneficial for the business.
