Rapper Rick Ross Makes a $35M Splash with Waterfront Mansion Purchаse on Miami’s Star Island. Renowned rapper Rick Ross has recently made a move to Miami’s highly sought-after Star Island. After expressing interest in a beachfront property on the exclusive island, Ross has successfully sealed the deal, acquiring a massive 40,000-square-foot mega-mansion for a staggering $35 million. Situated in the heart of this star-studded and heavily guarded enclave, the property finds itself surrounded by the opulent residences of high-profile personalities such as Diddy, billionaire Ken Griffin, Jennifer Lopez, and Gloria Estefan. Ross’s acquisition of a coveted piece of real estate on Star Island is quite remarkable, considering that the island only comprises 30 residences.
Jill Eber, Jill Hertzberg, Felise Eber, and Fabio Lopes of The Jills Zeder Group represented the seller, while Kimberly Knausz of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and Tawanda Roberts of Florida Realty of Miami represented Ross. They were thrilled to have found the perfect buyer for the property and emphasized the exclusivity and allure of Star Island.
Knausz described Ross’s attraction to the estate as an immediate admiration for its grand entrance and lengthy driveway, both exuding a sense of magnificence. Additionally, the distinctive architecture captured his attention, and he plans to enhance it to align with his personal taste.
The stunning estate spans 12,374 square feet and features six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and 100 feet of waterfront on Biscayne Bay. While there is currently a two-car garage on the premises, Ross will undoubtedly require additional space to accommodate his prized collection of cars. The property also boasts a 40-foot dock with electric and water connections, perfectly suited for Ross’s potential boating activities, including his renowned Lamborghini yacht.
Known for his extravagant parties, Ross will undoubtedly make use of the large swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and expansive stone patio. The two-story mansion showcases a glass-enclosed lobby, a living room with 30-foot ceilings and a custom-made mahogany fireplace, a media room, and a library. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, high-end appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a separate breakfast area.
For the rap star who appreciates the finer things in life, the primary suite is fit for royalty, featuring remote-controlled shutters, a wet bar, two walk-in closets, and dual marble bathrooms.
Rick Ross’s purchаse of this Star Island property exemplifies his penchant for luxury and marks his entrance into Miami’s affluent circle.
