He has finally achieved the global attention he long craved as one of the toxic male influencers featured in Louis Theroux‘s hit new Netflix documentary Inside The Manosphere.
Harrison Sullivan – better known as HSTikkyTokky, his username on social media – claims to be an elite trader who uses a £20million-a-year income to fund a lavish lifestyle.
He poses with McLaren and Lamborghini supercars while partying with beautiful women in some of the world‘s most exotic luxury destinations – but away from his videos the reality of life for Sullivan is somewhat murkier.
In fact, the notoriously misogynist bodybuilder uses these borrowed trappings to try to dupe his hundreds of thousands of gullible young male followers into paying him to learn how to get the enviable lifestyle he claims to enjoy.
And now the Daily Mail can expose Sullivan‘s most audacious deception yet.
The 24-year-old has recently claimed to have bought a £3.5million luxury footballer-style mansion in Essex, regularly featuring the property on his bragging TikTok posts.
But the claim that it is his own home is a sham – for the mansion is actually rented by the night on Airbnb, and is nothing more than a set for his videos.
Sullivan, a social media influencer – or ‘finfluencer’ as some financial influencers are known – claims to have an enviable lifestyle that his followers could have too but the reality is murky
Harrison Sullivan, also known as HSTikkyTokky, claims on social media to be an elite trader, funding his lavish lifestyle with his £20million-a-year income and living in Dubai
The financial influencer, or ‘finfluencer’, makes wild claims about his wealth including that he paid £3.5million in cash for this seven-bedroom Essex mansion
Sullivan – who paints himself as an ideological warrior battling on behalf of men sidelined by feminism – boasted that he paid cash for the mansion.
He has been hosting wild parties at the property which he then films for the TIkTok posts he uses to hoodwink impressionable young male disciples.
Fed-up neighbours living around the £1,000-a-night house in Romford, Essex, told how they have made complaints about the parties thrown by Sullivan – who clashed with Louis Theroux in his Netflix documentary – after he rented the property on a number of occasions in recent weeks.
They claimed he and his like-minded hangers-on would show up at the property in a convoy of rented supercars to shoot video content with scantily clad hired models in hot tubs in the garden.
A raucous party, posted on the live-streaming platform Kick, showed him and other men surrounded by women in suspenders and skimpy swimwear by a swimming pool as they downed BuzzBall cocktails.
One friend claimed he had hired seven escorts for the event at the ‘party house‘ which has a games room complete with high-tech gaming machines, a table tennis table, hot tub and gym.
Sulivan also boasted that he had paid cash for a new £130,000 Mercedes Sprinter passenger van.
A previous party at the house is said to have ‘got out of hand‘ when one of Sullivan‘s friends ‘smashed his face‘ after he was thrown into the swimming pool.
In reality the footballers’ wives’ house, like everything else in Sullivan’s life, is rented by the day – and available to hire to anyone for £1,000 a night on holiday lettings site Airbnb
Neighbours of the Essex mansion that Sullivan claims to own have complained to the Daily Mail about alcohol-fuelled late-night parties being held at the property and models being taken in
HSTikkyTokky tells his gullible followers that he has bought the house without a mortgage where he is staging these parties where loud music blares, annoying residents
He ended up receiving hospital treatment and was later seen with a black eye. The house, which is on a smart residential street, was previously owned by a family before being sold for £2.1million last year.
Now angry neighbours have flooded the local council with complaints about the unauthorised alcohol-fuelled gatherings Harrison has held there since the new owner turned the property into an Airbnb.
One resident said it is common to see people coming and going from the three-storey detached property at all hours of the day. ‘All of a sudden you could see three or four cars turn up, all luxury – I‘ve seen Lamborghinis, Range Rovers,‘ he said.
Another claimed: ‘They do whatever they want to do, there‘s a lot of filming and a lot of noise. They’ve got a pool, hot tubs and a sauna. They‘re an absolute nuisance.
‘There‘s been complaints made by residents to the council. They have been abusing it, making films in the middle of the night.
The influencer appeared on Louis Theroux’s hit new Netflix documentary Inside The Manosphere where he spouted his misogynist views to a wider audience
At one point in the film Theroux cited Sullivan’s own words, ‘Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer – I’m all those things’, before asking if that is how he sees himself
‘They‘ve been making a lot of films in the garden with cameras and lights. It kept me up at night – and the noise is what started the neighbours‘ complaints.
‘One time there were women dancing – but then they all started dancing naked – the men had their tops off, it was all filmed by someone.
‘Luckily my grandchildren aren‘t here to see it.‘
In one TikTok clip, Sullivan steps out of the front door of the property saying: ‘All right boys. I‘m just outside my new £3.5million house that I paid for cash. All the haters are watching this right now burning.‘
When we approached the home‘s owner – who lives elsewhere – he was initially unaware that Sullivan had been holding parties there but once informed, he offered assurances that this would now stop.
This is just the latest false claim Sullivan peddles to his army of gullible young male disciples, who believe that by following him they too could replicate his rags-to-riches journey with all the trappings of his fabulous wealth.
But it is all a sham.
Because rather than earning £56,000 every day as he claims, Sullivan‘s ‘career‘ actually sees him continually scratching around to raise just enough money to keep the illusion that he is wealthy going for another month.
This means funding to secure short-term access to sports cars and other status symbols that he supposedly owns, giving him time to film another video featuring them – before they are repossessed by their actual owners.
And the various scrapes he reports getting into in places like Ibiza, Marbella and Zante are frequently contrived in order to sustain the attention of existing followers – currently 178,000 on the video platform he took his online name from – and add new ones.
Meanwhile, all of this attention seeking collectively provides the marketing that helps him achieve his true objective: persuading enough deluded but captivated young men who aspire to replicate his lifestyle to rashly invest in one of his dodgy investment schemes.
Yes, HSTikkyTokky is that most bleak modern entity – the fake influencer. Or, as one cynical observer we spoke to described him this week, ‘a pound-shop Andrew Tate‘.
Sullivan is now 24. He is the son of a Nigerian-born former England rugby international who won 24 caps for his country in the 1990s and later ran a successful sports hospitality business.
When his parents split, he was brought up by his single mother in modest circumstances in decidedly unglamorous Brentwood in Essex, where he began to grow an online audience in his late teens by posting fitness videos online while still a student.
Since then, his online persona has become ever more provocative as he tries to engage others with big follower counts in the hope of catching their followers‘ attention too.
Take his interactions with Tate and his brother Tristan: he has been keen to align himself with the pair despite them being highly controversial – some say toxic, prosecutors say criminal.
But for Sullivan the Tates, who have denied charges of rape and human trafficking, are ‘good guys‘.
Some marginal brands will pay to align themselves with characters such as Sullivan: he has been given a handful of promotional deals and appeared on the platform Misfits Boxing – but the amounts this activity generates are thought to be minimal in relation to a claimed £20million income.
What’s more promising as an income stream for HSTikkyTokky is the unregulated trading advice he gives to impressionable young men who are desperately chasing the ‘dream life‘ he portrays.
Sullivan‘s revenue stream relies on luring in impressionable followers to dodgy crypto apps and online trading platforms, which promise to make investors rich with huge returns – but which the Financial Conduct Authority emphasises are unauthorised.
Sullivan boasts that he makes his money through his controversial content that has now seen him banned from most mainstream social media sites.
He has boasted: ‘My SVJ [Lamborghini] is in the garage getting a £20,000 Gintani exhaust fitted on it.
‘I‘ve got over $4million in crypto, here‘s my XRP [cryptocurrency] wallet, half a million dollars in there. Here‘s my Bitcoin wallet, almost $2million dollars in there. I‘ve got $4million in crypto at 23 years old. I can do what I want, when I want.‘
But any claims that he has business acumen that others may wish to learn from do not appear to be sustained by the facts: he has four businesses listed on Companies House, but all of them have been dissolved within the last two years.
His latest company – HS Solutions Ltd – was dissolved on July 8, having only been incorporated on October 10, 2024.
Last year, he set up a trading channel called FINE$E, encouraging young men like him to join his Signal channel for ‘tips‘ on how to get rich quick.
This was the wreckage from the McLaren supercar crash in Surrey in March 2024 – after which Sullivan failed to stop and report the accident
Sullivan, 24, abruptly left the UK last year after he apparently crashed a £230,000 McLaren in Virginia Water, Surrey, leaving a fellow influencer injured
Sullivan made headlines last year after he missed a court appearance over the crash to attend a boxing match in Qatar and Surrey Police issued this picture of him in November
In March 2024, Sullivan was involved in a McLaren car crash in Virginia Water, Surrey. One witness claimed he was travelling ‘at least 100mph‘ in the moments before the crash.
Shockingly, Sullivan fled the scene, leaving his passenger and friend, George Elliot – who has autism – alone in a daze of pain and terror.
But Sullivan didn‘t just flee the scene – he fled the country.
Eight months later, in November 2024, he was due to attend court on charges related to the crash.
He never showed up and, in the months that followed, videos released online revealed he was living the high life in countries such as Qatar, Dubai and Thailand.
While on the run in Marbella, Sullivan was visited by Theroux, who was then filming his documentary on toxic masculinity.
At one point in the film, Theroux cited Sullivan‘s own words, ‘Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer – I‘m all those things‘, before asking if that is how he sees himself.
An agitated Sullivan responded: ‘That‘s my way of saying I don‘t care.‘
Sullivan and his mum Elaine have moved to Dubai where they are seemingly living the high life
Sullivan has boasted on social media that he has ‘retired’ his mother, by moving her and her parents out to Dubai where he has allegedly bought a flat
Meanwhile Ms Sullivan’s Instagram page shows she is hanging out at venues such as the Bla Bla Beach club in Dubai – despite debt collectors calling at her former home in Essex
Ms Sullivan has posted on social media about the finest shopping experience with shots of these expensive handbags
It was in Marbella on the Costa del Sol that Sullivan was eventually arrested last August by local authorities for allegedly attacking a man with a glass, leaving him with, in the words of Malaga’s National Police, ‘extremely serious injuries to his neck‘.
Sullivan was extradited to the UK on October 10 last year and taken into custody.
He went on to plead guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance at Staines Magistrates‘ Court and yet, remarkably, walked free after the judge issued him with a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
Sullivan was also disqualified from driving for two years, issued with a temporary 9pm curfew and ordered to complete 300 hours of unpaid work.
Brazenly, the influencer filmed himself breaking that curfew this week as he was thrown out of a London restaurant in glitzy Mayfair for making derogatory remarks towards female customers.
Sullivan has absurdly claimed on his TikTok channel that his online trading nets allowed him to buy not one, but two private jets.
Previously, Sullivan lived in this humble rented property in Brentwood, Essex. A source confirmed that since they left bailiffs have visited the home on a number of occasions
Sullivan’s mother also lived at the property for a decade paying rent to the owners – until she left about a year ago when the influencer announced that they were moving to Dubai
He claims to have built up a property empire in Dubai with apartments not just for himself but members of his wider family – with enough left over to regularly hire multi-million-pound properties in places like Ibiza and Marbella.
He uses all this bragged-about riches in the same way a fisherman uses bait.
Back at his mother‘s rented home in Brentwood, neighbours are mystified about Harrison‘s claims of wealth.
As one put it: ‘If that boy is worth twenty million quid, why did we see bailiffs turning up at that house?‘
In the past he has been seen with multiple Lamborghinis, sat in a £240,000 Mercedes Maybach and of course in his fateful McLaren 720S.
Another neighbour said: ‘He was always brash and flash. You’d see him with some flash sports car but it would only be around for two or three days and then it was gone again.‘
One told the Daily Mail: ‘Harrison lived there with his mum for about ten years… he was there until a couple of years back and she disappeared earlier this year – supposedly to Dubai.
‘Since Elaine‘s been gone, though, there’s been debt collectors knocking at the door repeatedly.‘
Another former neighbour added: ‘Harrison did bring home a couple of Lamborghinis just before he moved out. He‘d park them in the street across the driveway.
‘But he‘d only have the cars for maybe a day or two and then they‘d be taken back.‘
