If you search for "Tai Lopez fake" in youtube, you see several people that have taken a closer look at what he does
He's a fraud but he'll fake it until he makes it. Sometimes you have to do that. He is funny, but listen to him speak and then contradict himself and just talk on an on.

Is Tai Lopez a scam? - Quora

In general, when you have to pay someone for "secrets to financial wealth" or "tips for overnight success" or contribute some sort of monthly/yearly fee, it's a scam. The fact that you can't easily unsubscribe from the service only compounds the reasoning that the guy is a scammer. The reason some of his advice makes sense is that it will echo all the other advice that is found in many other books and online blogs - it's very generic. I've heard one describe it as a simple manipulation and expansion of Robert Green's The 48 Laws of Power. As my bio (an observational comment) reads, "You make more money selling pans than by panning for gold."

To be fair, I haven't looked up the guy, but the detailed description (much of which has now been removed) was enough to tell you've been sucked into a scheme. The fact that someone anonymously replied to this question in support of Tai Lopez only adds to the suspicion. If they are willing to back up the guy, but unwilling to publicly stand behind their claim, it should raise a few eyebrows.
He's gregarious enough and if you can talk you can find more than a few people who will go in on you. Hell you can find pretty good people off of craigslist if you know what you are doing.

The house he's talking out of:
