From foreclosure to Rick Ross’s ownership, the story of his amazing Georgia estate

After he graduated from Albany State University, Rick Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II, worked as a corrections officer for almost two years. He changed his name from “Teflon Da Don” to “Rick Ross” after hearing about “Freeway” Rick Ross, who was a drug kingpin. He got a deal with Jay-Z’s Def Jam Records worth a lot of money after his hit song “Hustlin” became a big hit. His first album went straight to number one, and he sold tens of millions of singles and albums. Rick Ross is one of the best-paid rappers in the world, and he is worth $55 million.

Rick Ross also buys and sells properties. In the last 20 years, he has bought several expensive homes in Florida and Georgia. His most expensive property is a house in Georgia with 109 rooms that he bought from boxer Evander Holyfield for $5.8 million. Let’s look around Rick Ross’s lovely home.

Evander Holyfield was the undisputed cruiserweight champion in the 1980s, and he made more than $350 million during that time. After a few bad fights and failing business ventures, the former boxer quit the sport to spend more time with his family.

His Georgia house, which was one of his most valuable properties, needed work. The Sun says that the mansion was put up for auction because it cost $1 million to keep up. After Holyfield sold the mansion to a bank for $7.5 million, it was put on the market for $8.2 million. Ross paid $5.8 million for it, which was more than the starting price of $2.5 million.

The building in Fayetteville County, Georgia, was built in 1994. The palace is 235 acres, which is 45,000 square feet. This house is beautiful because it has a big fountain in the front yard and a white stone exterior with moldings. All eyes are on the beautiful, double-wound staircase that leads up. There are 12 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms in the 109 rooms.

Besides the mansion, Rick Ross has owned a number of other homes. In 2012, he paid $5.2 million for an eight-bedroom, eleven-bathroom house on the coast of Fort Lauderdale. Celebrity Net Worth says that he sold the Georgia estate for $6 million in 2016.
