He has four children whom he named after himelf-  William Leonard Roberts – Toie Roberts, William Roberts III, Berkeley Hermes Roberts, and Billion Leonard Roberts.

Rick Ross, being a self-proclaimed Christian, said, “I had told myself at one point no matter what I go through, I never question God.”

He went on to say that praying is part of his routine every time he goes on stage to perform.

Rick Ross’ net worth is nothing short of astounding.

During Ross’ first few years, he had pretty decent earnings. His 2006 earnings from the ‘Port of Miami’ record sales reached a total of $800,000.

This was thanks to the 750,000 copies sold in the United States alone.

Then came 2008 and his earnings on the Trilla record sales reached $685,000 – having sold over 645,000 copies. Only a year after that, his total earnings from his ‘Deepr Than Rap’ album made him $465,000 richer.

Rick Ross Philanthropy

Rick is one to spend millions of dollars on luxurious things but he doesn’t hesitate to help charitable causes too.

In fact, Rick Ross’s charity, the Rick Ross Charities, Inc., has donated dozens of turkeys to Miami families during the Thanksgiving holiday.

William Leonard Roberts II doesn’t joke around when it comes to philanthropy.

The charity’s aim is to inspire other hip-hop personalities to give back to the community.

Apart from his own charity, Ross also supports ‘The Children’s Trust’ and ‘The Urban League of Greater Miami.’ He’s also an advocate for at-risk or disadvantaged and the underprivileged youth.

In 2014, he opened his home (uhh…mansion) to underprivileged kids. He generously did this so the kids could enjoy all the amenities his gigantic mansion has to offer.

To say that Rick Ross loves kids is a huge understatement.

How Rick Ross Spends His Money

The rap icon is just as equally lavish as he is charitable.

He’s spent millions of dollars on his “toys” but he also wouldn’t hesitate spending millions of dollars on the underprivileged.

His heart is as big as he is.

Rick Ross Houses

Considering Rick Ross’ net worth of over $40M, it’s not such of a surprise when he purchases a gigantic mansion that sits as part of a 54,000-foot estate. Rick Ross’ lovely Georgia home was acquired in 2016.

Ross’ mansion is nothing short of luxurious and lavish with a total number of 109 rooms, 12 of which are mainly bedrooms and 21 are bathrooms.

The 5.8-million-dollar home was originally owned by legendary boxer Evander Holyfield.

Of course, a mansion wouldn’t be a mansion without its own home theater, bowling alley, and a huge swimming pool.

Also within the 54,000-foot property are a baseball field, an indoor pool, a recording studio, a guest house, and (surprise) a separate boxing gym.

Rick Ross Cars

As if his amazing property wasn’t enough, he matched it with his eight luxury cars – BMW 760Li, Fisker Karma, Cadillac Escalada SUV, Bentley Continental Supersports, Rolls Royce Phantom, silver white Hummer H2, Mercedes-Benz CLS, and his favorite, the Maybach 57s.

Not only is he fond of four-wheeled rides, he’s also a fan of the Aprilia motorbike which he purchased for $35,000.

His fans have seen him drive and own luxury cars like his Porsche Carrera GT, Cadillac Escalade, Lamborghini Murcielago, Lexus LS 460 Sedan, and Mercedes S65. In addition to that, Woods’ also owns private yachts and a private jet.

5 Lessons From Rick Ross

1. Learn about the importance of saving. Now this may be a bit cliche but it resonates with everyone. The moment Ross first signed a record deal, he didn’t do anything. He didn’t spend. He didn’t splurge. The cars and mansion that he has now were non-existent then. He had a lot bigger plans than met the eye. He went on to say, “Where I was from, getting money, talking about homes and being an entrepreneur – that really wasn’t the priority in Miami.”
2. Stick to what you do best. It was a while until Rick Ross splurged on his luxuries. So when he finally did spend a lot, he decided it would be on property. “Real estate was always my go-to thing. I’m one of them dudes quick to say I’m not into what I can’t see,” he said. He went on to add that he owes this passion to his mom.
3. “Every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal.” Treat your goal as if it’s your most sought-after reward after a long strenuous marathon. Every lap has obstacles that you need to overcome or jump over. That was Ross’s mantra that’s why he’s so successful.
4. “Every boss started as a worker.” Just as much as every leader started as a follower, every CEO may have started as a regular employee. Any teacher started with being a student. One doesn’t immediately reach great heights in just a snap of the finger.
5. “You gotta judge a man by his principles.” Who you are is defined by the kind of character you have. And your character is solely based on your principles in life.
