109 rooms. A private bowling alley. A movie theater with 135 seats. That’s not a luxury hotel—it’s Rick Ross’s house. If you’ve only heard the name, you probably picture one giant Georgia mansion. And you’d mostly be right—it’s reportedly the largest single-family home in the state. But as of 2026, the story is bigger than just the Promise Land. The Miami native also owns a $35 million waterfront estate on Star Island.
Here’s a full look at what the hip-hop mogul actually owns, what’s inside, and why it matters.
Where Is Rick Ross Currently Living?
Rick Ross currently lives at the Promise Land, his 109-room estate in Fayetteville, Georgia, about 30 miles south of Atlanta. It has been his primary residence since he bought it from boxer Evander Holyfield in 2014, and as of 2026, it remains where he spends most of his time, runs his business, and hosts his annual car and bike show. He also owns a Star Island mansion in Miami, but Fayetteville is where he’s based day-to-day.
The Promise Land
The main event sits in Fayetteville, Georgia, about 30 miles south of Atlanta. That’s where you’ll find the compound Ross calls the Promise Land. He bought it from boxer Evander Holyfield in 2014, paying $5.875 million for a mansion that had originally been listed for $7.5 million. Fayette County property records confirm the sale price.
Location & Features:
- Address: Fayetteville, Georgia (roughly 30 miles south of Atlanta)
- Purchase price: $5.875 million (2014), down from a $7.5 million asking price
- Size: 109 rooms across more than 50,000 square feet
- Land: ~105 acres originally, plus 87 adjacent acres added in 2021 (nearly 200 acres total)
- Standout features: 135-seat movie theater, private bowling alley, 350,000-gallon pool, commercial-grade kitchen, recording studio
- Status: Primary residence, still owned as of 2026
Holyfield had originally listed the estate for $7.5 million, so the “Boss” got a real discount on a 109-room property with more than 50,000 square feet. That’s the kind of deal you don’t forget. It’s also reportedly the largest home in Georgia—a title several outlets, including Fox News, have attached to the residence since the purchase.
What really surprised me is how much land came with the place. The original deal included about 105 acres. Then in 2021, the Maybach Music Group founder paid a reported $3.5 million in cash for an adjacent 87 acres. Do the math: that’s nearly 200 acres of private land in Georgia.
It’s not just a mansion anymore; it’s a statement of wealth. It’s a compound.
The rapper has kept this estate as his primary home since day one. The name isn’t a gimmick either. For him, it represents everything he built from nothing. When he films video tours there, it doesn’t feel like he’s showing off for the camera. He genuinely loves the place.
The Kitchen and Entertainment Spaces
The Wingstop franchise owner’s home kitchens aren’t just for show. The main kitchen has commercial-grade appliances, a massive island, and enough counter space to prep food for a crowd. If you’re feeding 100 people, you need that.
But the kitchen is only one part of the setup. Media rooms, lounges, and outdoor patios are spread across the grounds. The house was built for hosting. He regularly welcomes fellow artists, business partners, and family. It’s private enough to feel like a retreat, but big enough to host a full Maybach Music Group function without anyone tripping over each other.
The 2021 Land Expansion: 87 More Acres
This is the part many articles gloss over. In 2021, the hip-hop mogul reportedly paid $3.5 million in cash for 87 acres next to his existing estate. Why does that matter? Because it turned an already massive property into a near-200-acre kingdom.
He didn’t just buy empty land for the sake of it. The expansion gives him more privacy, more room for future projects, and more control over what happens around his home. When you live in a house that big, the last thing you want is someone building a subdivision right next door.
And yes, as of 2026, he still owns every acre of it—the Promise Land remains the centerpiece of his real estate portfolio, with no signs of that changing.
Rick Ross’s Star Island Mansion in Miami
The Promise Land gets most of the attention, but it’s not the only major property in the entrepreneur’s portfolio. In August 2023, he closed on a waterfront residence on Star Island Drive in Miami Beach for $35 million cash—paying just under the $37.5 million asking price.
Location & Features:
- Address: Star Island Drive, Miami Beach, Florida
- Purchase price: $35 million (August 2023), against a $37.5 million asking price
- Size: ~12,374 square feet, two stories, built in 1992
- Lot: Just under an acre, with 100 feet of waterfront on Biscayne Bay
- Bedrooms/bathrooms: 6 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms
- Standout features: Grand foyer, chef’s kitchen, bay-facing primary suite with dual walk-in closets, heated pool, summer kitchen, 40-foot private dock
- Neighbors: Sean “Diddy” Combs, Gloria and Emilio Estefan
Star Island is a private, guard-gated island in Biscayne Bay, and it’s one of the most exclusive addresses in the country. Only about 30 homes sit on the island, and his neighbors include Combs, the Estefans, and other high-profile names. Diddy reportedly welcomed him to the neighborhood with a golf cart.
The residence itself is a two-story, roughly 12,374-square-foot home built in 1992, sitting on just under an acre with 100 feet of waterfront on Biscayne Bay. It comes with six bedrooms, eight and a half bathrooms, a grand foyer, a chef’s kitchen, a bay-facing primary suite with dual walk-in closets, a heated pool, a summer kitchen, and a 40-foot private dock.
Rozay has said the purchase was “a major piece to the puzzle” in building out his real estate holdings—and it shows how far his portfolio now stretches beyond Georgia.
The Buckhead Mansion: An Atlanta Purchase from Meek Mill
In April 2023, the businessman paid $4.2 million in cash for a residence in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood—buying it directly from his own Maybach Music Group artist, Meek Mill.
Location & Features:
- Address: Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia
- Purchase price: $4.2 million (April 2023), paid in cash
- Bedrooms/bathrooms: 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms
- Standout features: Tennis court, movie theater, sauna, outdoor pool, jacuzzi, playground, double garages
- Previous owner: Rapper Meek Mill, who said he never lived there
Meek had owned the home for about two years but said he’d never actually lived there and had been trying to sell it on social media before Ross stepped in. The eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom house comes with a tennis court, a movie theater, a sauna, an outdoor pool, a jacuzzi, a playground, and double garages. The music executive has said the purchase was partly about loyalty to a friend rather than a calculated investment—he’s described buying it “for no reason” beyond helping Meek move a property that had sat on the market too long.
The Southwest Ranches Mansion (Currently Listed for Sale)
The Grammy-nominated performer also owns an equestrian-community estate in Southwest Ranches, Florida, which he bought from former NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire in March 2021.
Location & Features:
- Address: Landmark Ranch Estates, Southwest Ranches, Florida (Broward County)
- Purchase price: $3.5 million (March 2021), paid in cash
- Size: ~8,675 square feet on 2.3 acres
- Bedrooms/bathrooms: 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms
- Standout features: Soundproof theater, resort-style pool, custom bar, nine-car garage, guest house
- Current status: Listed for sale at $6.5 million (October 2025)
The roughly 8,675-square-foot home sits in the gated Landmark Ranch Estates community, and the record executive put his own stamp on it with a new roof and his signature double-R logo pressed into the driveway. Worth knowing if you’re tracking his current holdings: in October 2025, this property went up for sale at $6.5 million through Sotheby’s International Realty—nearly double what he originally paid. As of this writing, it’s on the market rather than off it, so it may not remain part of his collection much longer.
The Houston, Texas Property
In April 2023, the “Hustlin'” rapper announced on social media that he’d added a home in Houston, Texas, to his holdings—posting photos of himself in a cowboy hat and signing off as “Rodeo Rick.”
Location & Features:
- Location: Houston, Texas (exact address not publicly released)
- Purchase price: Disputed—reported figures range from roughly $3.5 million to $8 million
- Announced: April 2023, via Instagram
Beyond his own announcement, no official address has been released, and reported details about size and price vary widely across outlets, so treat specifics with some caution. It’s best understood as a confirmed addition to his portfolio, with the finer details still murky.
How Rick Ross’s House Changed Hip-Hop Culture
There was a time when a rapper’s success meant a nice car and a gold chain. The “Hustlin'” hitmaker raised the bar. The Promise Land became a physical representation of “boss” status in hip-hop.
Other artists took notes. Now you see more musicians buying acreage, building recording studios at home, and purchasing property outside traditional celebrity hubs. Rozay proved that a house could be more than a place to sleep. It could be a content set, a studio, a business venue, and a statement all at once.
The Maybach Music Group connection is real too. The main estate’s aesthetic—dark woods, oversized rooms, luxury finishes—matches the brand built around MMG. When artists like Meek Mill and Wale spent time there, they weren’t just visiting a friend. They were seeing what the endgame looks like.
Honestly, this is my favorite part of the whole story. The house isn’t just wealth. It’s influence.
The Bottom Line
Rick Ross’s house isn’t just a place to live; it’s a hub for his business ventures. It’s a monument to a specific kind of hustle—one that turned music success into real, tangible property. The Promise Land is the main event, and it’s largely why he’s tied to that “largest home in Georgia” title. But between the Star Island estate, the Buckhead home, the Houston property, and the now-listed Southwest Ranches mansion, it’s clear the Boss isn’t stopping at one state—he’s building a real estate footprint the same way he built his music catalog. All told, that’s five confirmed properties across three states, with the Georgia compound anchoring everything else.
So if you had one night there, what would you hit first? The 135-seat theater or the bowling alley? Let me know—because honestly, I’m still stuck on the idea of a private barbershop.
