Rick Ross, formerly known as Teflon Da Don, made a significant career shift after working as a correctional officer for almost two years following his graduation from Albany State University. Inspired by the notorious Ԁrug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross, he changed his nаme and released his breakout song, “Hustlin.” This led to a lucrative multimillion-dollar deal with Jay-Z’s Def Jam Records, and his singles and albums sold tens of milliоns of copies, with his first album reaching number one on the charts. Today, Rick Ross is one of the highest-paid rappers in the world, with an estimated net worth of $55 million.

Aside from his successful music career, Rick Ross has also ventured into real estate investment. Over the past two decades, he has acquired several expensive properties in Georgia and Florida. One of his most notable assets is a 109-room mansion in Georgia, which he purchased from boxer Evander Holyfield for $5.8 million. This mansion required significant renovation and was initially put up for auction as a foreclosure due to $1 million in maintenance costs. After Holyfield sold it to a bank for $7.5 million, Ross acquired it at the auction for $5.8 million, despite the bidding starting at $2.5 million.

Situated on 235 acres in Fayetteville County, Georgia, the mansion was built in 1994 and boasts a grandeur befitting its size of 45,000 square feet. The property features a striking entrance with a large fountain and an elegant white stone facade adorned with intricate moldings. Inside, a majestic double-winding staircase catches the eye, leading to 12 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms among the 109 rooms within the mansion.

In addition to this Georgia estate, Rick Ross has owned multiple properties, including an eleven-bedroom, eight-bathroom house on the Fort Lauderdale oceanfront, which he acquired for $5.2 million in 2012. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he later sold the Georgia estate for $6 million.
