How Rick Ross Built His Net Worth
Music
Ross broke out in 2006 with “Hustlin’.” Soon after, his debut album, Port of Miami, went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200. After that came Trilla, Deeper Than Rap, Teflon Don and God Forgives, I Don’t. More recently, he released Too Good to Be True with Meek Mill in 2023 and a solo album, Set in Stone, in 2026. He has also worked often with Jay-Z, Drake and Lil Wayne.
Maybach Music Group
As founder of Maybach Music Group, Ross helped launch the careers of Meek Mill, Wale and other artists. As a result, owning the label means he earns from their success as well as his own.
Wingstop and drinks
Besides music, Ross is closely tied to Wingstop, where he owns franchise locations. He has also been linked with drinks brands, another income stream beyond records and tours.

His holdings have also included a $35 million mansion on Miami’s Star Island and a private Gulfstream jet.
