After graduating from Albany State University, William Leonard Roberts II, famously known as Rick Ross, embarked on a distinctive career journey, spending nearly two years as a correctional officer. Inspired by the notorious drug lord “Freeway” Rick Ross, he adopted the name Rick Ross, transitioning from Teflon Da Don. Following the success of his breakthrough single “Hustlin’,” Rick Ross secured a lucrative multimillion-dollar deal with Jay-Z’s Def Jam Records. His debut album achieved significant success, dominating the charts and selling millions of singles and albums. Today, Rick Ross stands as one of the highest-paid rappers globally, boasting an estimated net worth of $55 billion.

Beyond his thriving music career, Rick Ross is an astute real estate investor, acquiring numerous high-value properties in Georgia and Florida over the past two decades. Among his notable holdings is a $5.8M mansion in Georgia, featuring an impressive 109 rooms. This property was previously owned by the renowned boxer Evander Holyfield. Despite Holyfield’s success, the mansion faced financial challenges, leading to foreclosure and auction. Rick Ross seized the opportunity, acquiring the estate for $5.8 million in an auction that started with a $2.5M bid.

Situated in Fayetteville County, Georgia, the mansion was constructed in 1994, sprawling across 235 acres with 45,000 square feet of luxurious living space. The grand entrance boasts a fountain, while the elegant white stone façade showcases exquisite moldings. With 109 rooms, including 12 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms, the mansion exudes opulence. In addition to this impressive estate, Rick Ross has owned other homes, including an oceanfront property in Fort Lauderdale, and in 2016, he sold the Georgia estate for $6 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.
