Rick Ross ‘pays $37M’ to scoop up sprawling nine-bedroom mansion on Miami’s Star Island

Rick Ross is forking over upwards of $37 million to acquire a luxurious nine-bedroom mansion on Miami’s Star Island.

Over the years Star Island has played host to such boldface names as Gloria Estefan, Shaquille O’Neal and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Jennifer Lopez lent her luster to the isle in 2020 when she and her then-fiancé Alex Rodriguez snapped up a 10-bedroom spread there.

Now Rick, 47, who grew up in the same Miami suburb that produced Flo Rida, is joining the denizens of Star Island, TMZ Hip Hop reports.

Having already spent millions to buy the house, Rick is purportedly planning to have the sumptuous property extensively remodeled.

Sprawling across about 40,000 square feet, his new mansion features such upscale touches as six bathrooms, a summer kitchen and a heated swimming pool.

The ultra-luxe waterfront property comes with ocean access in the form of a simple wooden harbor situated behind the backyard.

Upon moving into the mansion, Rick will also be able to indulge in the delights of such amenities as an entertainment room.

The Money In The Grave rapper’s purchase of the estate, which hit the market in May, will reportedly be closing within weeks. 

His latest acquisition comes about two years after he bought NBA alum Amar’e Stoudemire’s Miami digs for $3.5 million, per Architectural Digest.

Months after buying Amare’s house, Rick appeared on the REVOLT show Assets Over Liabilities and revealed that ‘I still haven’t slept in that b**** once.’

He reasoned: ‘But guess what? The value is I could sell that same house for possibly maybe $3 million more than I purchased it for.’

A few months ago Rick Ross also paid $4.2 million to take Meek Mill’s Atlanta mansion off his hands, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

When Rick first started making real money as a rapper, he snaffled up a million-dollar house in Atlanta just for the pleasure of driving by it.

‘Homes was something I was always fascinated about, so me and my homies started coming up to Atlanta,’ Rick recalled in a 2021 interview. ‘We used to ride by here all the time, stop, pull over and just be like: “God damn.”‘

He dished: ‘After I got my deal and my situation, I bought a million-dollar home maybe two minutes from here that I still own that’s right around the corner, just so I can ride by it every day while I’m in Atlanta, and that’s what the play was.’

Rick’s showpiece property is an eye-watering 109-room mansion in Georgia that he bought from Evander Holyfield and dubbed The Promise Land.
