In the world of HipHop there are ballers, then there’s Rick Ross!
Before we get into his luxury lifestyle, let’s level-set a bit and discuss just who is Rick Ross.
Rick Ross was born William Leonard Roberts II in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and raised in Carol City, Florida where his love of the sunshine state took hold. He went to Albany State University in George on a football scholarship, but dropped out of college after only a few weeks to move back home to Miami and start his rap career. Things were slow going, and he picked up different jobs including a stint as a corrections officer before finding success with his debut album “Port of Miami” that was released in August 2006 and debuted at the top spot of the U.S. Billboard charts selling 187,000 units in its first week.
From an early age he knew he was drawn to the finer things in life; he just need to find his path in life that would afford him the luxury brand-fueled lifestyle he aspired to.
Fast forward nearly two decades and Rick Ross is worth an estimated $150 million dollars, and has his sights set on becoming a billionaire through not only his music, but also his fledgling franchise restaurant group and his own luxury liquor brand named Belaire Champagne.
In addition to the five homes he owns in Georgia and Florida, and his car collection that he estimates contains 200 vehicles, Rick Ross’s latest acquisition is his prized all black Gulfstream G550 that humbly has his name “Rick Ross” emblazoned in gold on the side of the plane, with each S styled as a dollar sign in pretty ballin’ logo that he designed himself.
And no fresh-out-of-the-factory private jet will do for Rick Ross. After purchasing the airplane he hired the private-jet design firm Duncan Aviation to fully customize it to his style and high-end luxury finish, including custom sewn Louis Vuitton blankets for added comfort during those long flights criss-crossing the globe in luxurious style.
