Hustlers University (Now The Real World): Then and Now

People who type “hustlers university”, “hustle university” or “hustler university” into a search engine are usually looking for the same thing: the online program that is now called The Real World. This page is the first-hand version of the story. It uses the account of the person behind this site, who joined in about April 2022 and has been a member ever since, and sets it beside the old sales pages that the Internet Archive saved. It is written by an independent site that is not run by The Real World, New Era Learning LLC or Andrew Tate.

What was Hustlers University?

Hustlers University (HU) was a paid online community that taught ways to make money, and in 2022 it ran through a Discord server. An archived 2022 page at hustlers.university described “Hustlers University 2.0” as “a discord community” with chat rooms for students and teachers, and the page also said “It will still be Andrew Tate’s product” (archived July 26, 2022). The same page named a company, “(New Era Learning)”. Today’s official About page calls Hustler’s University an online community “founded by Andrew Tate and run on Discord”, and says New Era Learning LLC acquired the brand in 2022 and launched The Real World (About page). Who ran each of the archived sales sites is a different question: the pages print several company names, and this page does not claim to know which one operated which site.

What was it like to be a member in 2022?

The member behind this site says he joined in about April 2022, after hearing in early 2022 that people were making money in the marketing campus and from copywriting, and seeing testimonials online. He watched the videos but, short of time, did not apply anything to a digital business until October 2022. Before that he had applied the ideas to his family’s physical business. (OWNER)

His description of the platform:

• Busy and less focused. It ran on Discord, “tons of people floating in”, and in his words “a lot less focused”: everybody was pushed into the campuses, and some campuses had tens of thousands of people in them. That size is his recollection, not a published figure.
• A community that felt new. What he misses is the time period: a fast-growing community “growing and culminating together”. In his opinion HU “set the standard” for selling education with chat rooms, before Skool was advertised heavily.
• Courses, not campuses. In his words, they were called courses then and campuses now.
• Nothing he blames on the platform. What annoyed him, he says, was his own drive at the time, not HU itself.

Archived pages from the same year describe the same set-up in the platform’s own words: “private rooms, chat rooms with students and teachers, exclusive content rooms, live Q&A and more” (July 2022).

How did Hustlers University change over time?

These are the steps the archived pages show. Each date is the date the Internet Archive captured the page, so the real change may be earlier. Every statement is what the page said, not a verified fact, and this site cannot say who ran these pages.

The pages also printed student counts: 50,000+ in August 2022, “over 220,000” in April 2023 and “114,000+” in March 2024. They are the sites’ own claims, they do not form a consistent series, and no page said how a student was counted. Treat them as marketing. The pages did not say what happened to members during the changes. For the full course list on each date, see the Hustlers University courses by date.

How did members move to The Real World?

In the member’s account, his membership carried over. He says he has had the same membership since he joined in 2022, because, in his words, “they take care of their long-standing members”. He felt the move was exciting: a new platform, a new look, “like a new avenue”. He remembers that at the time content was being taken down from various platforms, and that Luc, whom he describes as Andrew Tate’s cousin, added members to a “bunker” Telegram group. (OWNER) The archive does not show any announcement to members, so this page cannot confirm what members were told.

Why content was being taken down, and anything about Andrew Tate’s legal cases, is outside this page. Dated, neutral facts on that are in is The Real World still running.

What is The Real World like now?

In the member’s account, the main differences are:

• Easier to use. The videos are easier to reach, the design is “much sharper”, the chat rooms are better, and progress is tiered, with ranks. (OWNER)
• Cleaner and more tailored. HU “was really chaotic” and The Real World “felt more clean”, and the chats feel more tailored to what members need. (OWNER)
• Updated often. He says the content is updated very often, and that the 18 wealth creation methods of the old days have been refined down to 12. Copywriting is now Strategic Marketing, and the old Stocks and DeFi topics became trading and crypto investing. (OWNER) The official checkout itself says “Access to all 12 business models” and does not list them.
• Wins in each campus. He finds the wins categories in each campus motivating. (OWNER, his opinion)

He says nothing is worse than before. A February 2023 leaderboard post from the early Real World shows how the community showed progress:

A Top 25 Earners, Last 24hr leaderboard post from The Real World, February 2023, from the member’s own screenshots. It is not from the old HU Discord. The members appear under animal code names, and the dollar amounts are the platform’s own claims that this site cannot check (CLAIM).

The platform today is covered in what The Real World is and the campus guide. The member’s answer on price: he says the membership is better value because paying up front and seeing what other people are doing helps if you struggle alone. That is his opinion. A plan page is linked at the end, and the Conquer plan was $99 a month on the checkout on October 19, 2026.

What do students who were in both say?

Three students in The Real World’s own interview videos mention the old days. These videos were chosen and published by the platform to promote itself, and the quotes come from a machine transcript, so they are the students’ words with the transcription’s slips removed.

• Danial (Germany, Freelancing) says “H.U. was a very good video course from Andrew Tate” and that The Real World “is kind of more developed in a way that you can ask questions, get feedback” (about 3:20 in the video). Danial’s advice is to make your own experience of it rather than trust a TikTok comment calling it a scam.
• Freeezy (Netherlands, Crypto Investing) says “I watched also all the old lessons on hustlers university back in the days. And also that improved” (about 1:36).
• Danny (USA, Amazon FBA), interviewed by Tristan Tate, says that towards the end of 2022 Danny and Danny’s brother saw “Hustlers University 2.0” and “the marketing and advertising for the launching of the real world” and signed up for the presale (about 1:13).

These are individual views, and The Real World does not publish a success rate.

Is Hustlers University a scam?

Some people say so and some say not. The member behind this site says he never understood the claim: in his opinion it is an education platform where you get lessons and also see wins shared, and the people at the top are the ones who put in the effort, while “some people don’t try”. Others call it a scam or a pyramid scheme. This page takes no side on the word. The sources for the critics’ view are in is The Real World legit, and no result is guaranteed.

Did the old plan cost $49.99 for one campus?

No. The member corrected this himself: it was all campuses. The 2022 hustlers.university FAQ says membership includes “all of the 18 modern wealth creation courses”, and a 2024 hustlersuniversity.ag FAQ answers “Which courses do I get access to when I join?” with “All of them!” (capture). The monthly prices the archived pages showed were $49 in August 2022 and $49.99 from August 2022 onwards. The cost of the old plan is covered in the Hustlers University price guide.

When this doesn’t apply

• If you expect the old Andrew-Tate-led HU. The member’s view is that there is a lot less Andrew Tate inside it now, and that Luc is more prominent. That is his account, not an official statement, and the official About page does not describe a current role for Andrew Tate.
• If you want the Marketing campus. He says it is no longer open to normal members: too many people were posting short clips that hurt the platform, so many were removed, and it is now a very small group. That is his account, and it is the reason this page does not suggest joining for it.
• If you want a fast result. Results depend on applying the lessons, as he found himself, and no outcome is guaranteed.
• If you are reading an old review. It describes the Discord-era version.
• If the details have changed. Prices and campus lists change, so check the checkout on the day you join.
