After graduating from Albany State University, Rick Ross, real name William Leonard Roberts II, worked as a correctional officer for nearly two years. Inspired by drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross, he changed his name from Teflon Da Don to Rick Ross. After releasing his breakthrough song Hustlin, he achieved a multimillion dollar deal with Jay-Z’s Def Jam Records. Tens of millions of copies of his singles and albums were sold, and his first album peaked at number one. One of the highest-paid rappers in the world, Rick Ross, is valued at $55 million.
Rick Ross is a real estate investor as well. He has acquired a number of expensive homes in Georgia and Florida during the last 20 years. The most expensive asset he has is a $5.8 million, 109-room Georgia mansion that he purchased from boxer Evander Holyfield. Come have a look at Rick Ross’s stunning house.
Evander Holyfield made almost $350 million as the cruiserweight champion in the 1980s and was the uncontested winner. After a few defeats and waning endeavors, the former boxer decided to quit and spend more time with his family.
His Georgia mansion, one of his largest holdings, needed work. The Sun claims that because the estate required $1 million in maintenance, it was put up for auction as a foreclosure. After Holyfield sold the mansion to a bank for $7.5 million, it was listed for $8.2 million. Ross purchased the item for $5.8 million, even though the auction started at $2.5 million.
The property in Fayetteville County, Georgia was constructed in 1994. The palace occupies 235 acres and is 45,000 square feet. This gorgeous property features a large fountain in the driveway and a white stone front with moldings. There is a grand double-winding staircase leading upstairs that catches everyone’s attention. There are 12 bedrooms and 21 baths among the 109 rooms.
Apart from the mansion, Rick Ross has possessed multiple properties. In 2012, he paid $5.2 million for an eleven-bedroom, eight-bathroom house on the Fort Lauderdale oceanfront. Celebrity Net Worth states that he received $6 million for the sale of the Georgia estate.
