Inside crime-ridden estate where Andrew Tate’s mum lives while disgraced TikToker drives Ferraris & owns mansion
ANDREW Tate has been living a life of luxury in mansions across the word while his mum is in a terraced house on a rough housing estate in Luton.
The controversial influencer regularly posts photos travelling on private planes and driving Ferraris - but his mother Eileen leads a very different life, The Sun can reveal.
Three council-owned, 15-story tower blocks dominate the area, although many of the surrounding houses are private and neatly-maintained.
She still resides in an end of terrace house on a council estate where she lived with Andrew and his two siblings in the late 1990s - after the family moved from Chicago.
When The Sun visited Julius Gardens on Luton’s Marsh Farm estate today there was no reply from the 1970s home.
Two dustbins were left outside and net curtains covered the windows. There was a Sky dish on the side wall and a hanging basket full of faded flowers was positioned on the front door.
The Marsh Farm Estate, in north Luton, was built in the 1970s with a mixture of flats and houses for people moving out of London.
Three council-owned, 15-story tower blocks dominate the area, although many of the surrounding houses are private and neatly-maintained.
CRIME RIDDEN
Since then it has become notorious for violence, often involving drug gangs armed with guns and knives.
And "turf wars" broke out with rival mobs on the nearby Lewsey Farm Estate.

The estate first hit the headlines in 1992 when there were four days of rioting.
Three years later there were even bigger riots with buildings torched.
One policeman was stabbed and officers were attacked with petrol bombs, bottles and bricks during the chaos.
Then in 2013 nine shootings - culminating with a 16-year-old boy being shot in the back - lead to police armed with Heckler and Koch G36 assault rifles moving in.
Bedfordshire Police have frequently demanded more funding from the Home Office, pointing out that although classed as a “country force” they must patrol Luton Airport as well as two of the most notorious housing estates in England.
TATE'S MANSION
In a stark contrast, Eileen’s son flaunts his wealth daily - and recently moved to Romania with his brother to a £600,000 luxury compound.
It was here he was arrested this week over rape and human trafficking allegations.
The 2,000sqm mansion boasts a massive chessboard in tribute to their late father Emory Tate, an International Master, as well as an indoor pool and home cinema.
Pictures from inside the bolthole also reveal lavish leather sofas and glass cases to display his kickboxing belts.
Footage shows a high-tech security room filled with several live CCTV feeds and a huge balcony at the top of the home.
Meanwhile, another clip previously shared on Tate's Instagram shows an image of Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre on a screen.
Tate and his brother Tristan - who lives on the third floor of the compound - were on Thursday arrested by cops.
They were detained after police raided the mansion, with footage of the sting showing guns, knives, and money on display as well as an array of flash cars.
The pair have reportedly been under investigation for the alleged kidnapping of two young women at their villa in the town of Voluntari.
They will be held by cops for 30 days.
Both Tate brothers deny the allegations against them and are next week expected to appeal against the decision to hold them in custody.
'WORKING CLASS LAD'
Locals were shocked to learn Luton is where Tate grew up.
One teenager said: “Yeah, he was the guy on telly with Piers Morgan. But I didn’t know he lived round here.”
It comes after Tate was on Wednesday blasted for having "small d**k energy" by Greta.
He attempted to troll the 19-year-old with a list of his car collection.
The kickboxer tried to taunt the climate change campaigner by bragging about the "enormous emissions" of his vehicles.
He offered to send her a list of his 33 cars - including a Bugatti - if she gave him her email address.
Greta however responded by offering up her email address of "smalld**[email protected]".
Tate is known for his love of supercars, and has built up an incredible collection, including a rare Bugatti.
His haul is worth around £5million and includes the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport - one of the fastest and most expensive cars in the world.
The Chiron is priced at £2.7million and only 500 will be built in total.
The Pur Sport version is even rarer with Tate owning just one of 60 made.
