Rick Ross's House
Riverdale, GA
The Story
Rick Ross is the Miami rapper and Maybach Music Group founder who broke through in 2006 with “Hustlin’.” Here, he is also a working farmer and the host of a yearly car show.
Evander Holyfield built this place from 1994 to 1999 and named it Villa Vittoriosa, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The same account puts his cost above $30M.
The estate first went up for auction in 2008, and a legal notice put it back on the courthouse steps in 2009. Holyfield told the AP, “It will be worked out.”
It did not work out. JPMorgan Chase took the estate at a March 2012 foreclosure auction, according to Holyfield’s adviser, and news cameras caught his belongings leaving that July.
Ross arrived in 2014 and renamed it the Promise Land. In 2020 he added 87 neighboring acres with 2 more houses, posting that the land had gotten “BIGGER.”
Ross revealed in a 2019 radio interview that Coming 2 America was shooting at his house. Oz Magazine called the estate a primary location for the Eddie Murphy sequel.
Fayette County denied Ross’s car show permit in 2023, and he announced the show would go on anyway. Officials granted it on May 26, capping events at 14 days a year.
