Rick Ross has taken to social media to show off his $35-million mansion lot on the exclusive Star Island in Miami, USA.
The rap mogul is doing $20 million in renovations, saying: “I have easily 50 million in it and it’s well worth it.”
But, the titan of the music industry is looking for a specific neighbor for his dream home, shouting out to his ‘rich friends’.

“I know you’ve got somebody who would love to stay right here next to Ricky Rosé,” he shared on his @richforever Instagram account.
He specifically asked Drake to buy the empty lot next door saying: “They’re only asking 37 million, which ain’t much.
“I would love to wake up in the morning to hear: ‘Everybody get your roll on’,” he added.
We already know that Ross has a Georgia mansion that’s like a palace.
As for his own waterfront estate, he said: “I don’t know anybody else who’d buy a $35 million crib, tear it down, and do it the way they want it: customized.”
Real name, William Leonard Roberts II, Ross bought the lot to do a gut renovation, transforming the property into a megamansion worth $100 million in the summer of 2023.
It will rival the opulent homes of his Miami neighbors, including billionaires like Jeff Bezos, who has an extensive $600 million property portfolio.
Another resident, hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, previously held the record for the world’s most expensive property.
This has since been surpassed by ‘Gordon Pointe’ Estate, a beachfront property worth an estimated $295 million, which is located on a peninsula off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
Ross plans to add 4,000 square feet to the 12,400-square-foot luxe property’s footprint, located on 37 Star Island Drive.
“We are excited to be expanding the home towards the ocean and we are planning a Japanese rare Koi fish pond, the walls with maybe a Basquiat painting,” Ross told the New York Post.
Celebrity and billionaire homebuilder, Manny Angelo Varas, is helping the rap mogul to bring his vision to life – we can’t wait for the inevitable tour.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
