Rapper Rick Ross Makes a $35M Splash with Waterfront Mansion Purchаse on Miami’s Star IslandRick Ross, the famed rapper, has lately moved to Miami’s coveted Star Island. After showing interest in a beachfront residence on the restricted island, Ross has officially concluded the deal, paying $35 million for the 40,000-square-foot mega-mansion. The property is located near the middle of the star-studded and closely guarded enclave, surrounded by the luxurious homes of high-profile personalities such Diddy, billionaire Ken Griffen, Jennifer Lopez, and Gloria Estefan. Ross was able to get a prized piece of Star Island, which is very surprising given that the island only has 30 residences.
Jill Eber, Jill Hertzberg, Felise Eber, and Fabio Lopes of The Jills Zeder Group represented the seller, while Kimberly Knausz of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and Tawanda Roberts of Florida Realty of Miami represented Ross. They were thrilled to have found the ideal buyer for the property and stressed Star Island’s exclusivity and attractiveness.
Knausz described Ross’s attraction to the estate as his immediate admiration for the magnificent entry and the lengthy driveway, both of which screamed grandeur. Furthermore, the distinctive architecture attracted to him, and he intends to improve it to match his personal taste.
The spectacular estate measures 12,374 square feet and has six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and 100 feet of sea frontage on Biscayne Bay. While there is now a two-car garage on-site, Ross will most certainly require more space to house his prized collection of cars. The property also has a 40-foot dock with electric and water connections, ideal for Ross’s possible boating activities, including his fabled Lamborghini yacht.
Ross, known for his lavish parties, will definitely take advantage of the large swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and vast stone patio. The two-story mansion boasts a glass-enclosed lobby, a living room with 30-foot ceilings and a bespoke mahogany fireplace, a video room, and a library. The chef’s kitchen features granite countertops, high-end appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a separate breakfast room.
For the rap star who values the finer things in life, the principal suite is fit for royalty, with remote-controlled shutters, a wet bar, two walk-in closets, and dual marble baths.
Rick Ross’ purchаse of the Star Island property illustrates his desire for luxury and signals his entrée into Miami’s affluent circle.
