Who Owns The Real World, and Which Site Is Official?

Who owns The Real World? The company named on its about page and terms, the official website, how look-alike and affiliate sites differ, and a checklist. 2026.

Direct answer

The Real World is owned and operated by New Era Learning LLC, according to its official about page, which describes the company as registered in Sharjah Media City in the UAE. The platform's Terms of Use say the agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Real World is an online learning platform, formerly Hustlers University, and its official website is jointherealworld.com. That is where memberships are sold: $99 a month or $996 a year on the Conquer plan, checked on the official checkout on September 12, 2026. Many other sites use The Real World's name, and some call themselves an "Official Portal". Some of those sites say in their footers that they are run by affiliates, not by New Era Learning LLC. This site is one of those independent affiliate sites and says so. The safe rule is simple: read the address bar, and only pay on the checkout at jointherealworld.com.

People ask who owns The Real World for two reasons. Some want to know which company takes their money. Others have found several sites that all look official and want to know which one is real. The Real World’s own pages answer both. Whether the membership is worth paying for is a separate question, covered in the honest review.

Who owns The Real World?

The Real World’s official about page says the platform is “owned and operated by New Era Learning LLC”. The same page describes the company as “registered in Sharjah Media City” in the United Arab Emirates.

The Terms of Use are the contract between you and the company, and they say the agreement is “governed by the laws of the State of Delaware”. So the company named on the about page is UAE-registered, and the terms point to Delaware law. Those are two different things, and both come from the official site.

How did New Era Learning come to run it?

According to the about page, New Era Learning acquired the Hustlers University brand in 2022. It then launched The Real World as “a rebuilt platform with its own application and curriculum”, which “opened publicly to new members in 2023”. The about page also says Hustler’s University was founded by Andrew Tate, so people who search for Andrew Tate’s school are looking for the platform this company runs today.

The person behind this site has been a member since 2022, first on Hustlers University and then on The Real World. Back then, the old platform cost $49.99 a month and included all the courses. The full timeline is in Hustlers University vs The Real World.

What is The Real World’s official website?

The official website is jointherealworld.com. Its checkout is where memberships are sold. On September 12, 2026, the Conquer plan cost $99 a month or $996 a year, billed in US dollars. A second plan, Vanguard, was listed at $499 a month and marked sold out; on October 25, 2026, it was still shown as Sold Out, so Conquer is the only plan you can buy. The price guide covers the plans in detail.

The app does not come from an app store. The official support page says it installs from the website, with “no App Store, no Play Store, no waiting for approval”.

Is jointherealworld legit?

Yes. jointherealworld.com is the real platform’s own site, run by the company named on its about page. “Legit” means you pay for a real product and get access to it. It does not mean you will earn money: the official site says “The Real World team doesn’t guarantee any profits or financial success.” The wider question of scam claims is covered in Is The Real World legit?

Are there fake Real World websites?

There are many look-alike sites using The Real World’s name, and the old Hustlers University name too (see which Hustlers University is the real one). Most fall into one of three groups:

Type of site What it is Where you pay
The official site jointherealworld.com, run by New Era Learning LLC The official checkout on jointherealworld.com
Disclosed affiliate sites Independent sites that promote The Real World and say in the footer that they are run by an affiliate, not by New Era Learning LLC They send you to the official checkout
Unclear look-alikes Sites with “real world” in the domain and titles such as “Official Portal”, with no clear statement of who runs them Check carefully before paying anything

At least one site titled “The Real World - Official Portal” states in its footer that it is independently owned and operated by an affiliate, not by New Era Learning LLC. So a site calling itself “official” is not proof that it is. The footer is often more honest than the headline.

This site is a disclosed affiliate site. It is not run or endorsed by The Real World or New Era Learning LLC. Its join buttons go to a plan page, then on to the official checkout.

How do you spot the official site?

Run through these checks before you pay:

  1. Read the address bar. The official site is jointherealworld.com. Any other domain is a third-party site, however it looks.
  2. Ignore the word “official” in titles. Look-alike sites use it too.
  3. Scroll to the footer. Honest third-party sites say they are independent or run by an affiliate.
  4. Check the payment page. It should be on jointherealworld.com. Never pay a third party directly for access.
  5. Compare the price. On September 12, 2026, the official checkout showed $99 a month or $996 a year. A different figure means an old page or a site to question.
  6. Get the app from the official website. The support page says it does not come from an app store.
  7. Skip countdowns and “free course” downloads. Pressure timers and leaked courses do not come from The Real World.

When this doesn’t apply

  • Company details can change. The about page and terms were checked on September 12, 2026. If the owner, registration or governing law changes, the official pages are the record, not this article.
  • This site can’t vouch for every other site. Some affiliate sites are honest and some are not. Check each one yourself.
  • Owning the platform is not the same as a guarantee. A real company can still sell you something that isn’t right for you. The official site guarantees no profits.
  • Existing members don’t need a new checkout. If you already pay, manage your membership inside your account. To stop paying, see how to cancel The Real World.
  • Refund and consumer rights depend on where you live. The official subscription policy says fees are generally non-refundable once a period has started, except where local law says otherwise.

What to do next

If you want to join, go to the plan page, compare the plans, and continue to The Real World’s official checkout on jointherealworld.com to pay. Confirm the address bar says jointherealworld.com before you enter any card details.
