Rick Ross’ $30 Million Mansion Only Cost Him A Fraction Of That, He Reveals

It’s no secret that Rick Ross has a lot of cash, but evidently, he hasn’t made it all purely from his music career. During a recent chat with Dwyane Wade on The Why podcast, he chatted about investing, revealing that he’s always had a strong sense of where to put his money. In the clip, he explains that his sprawling 120-room “Promise Land” estate in Fayetteville, GA was purchased for only $5.9 million. While that’s certainly no measly chunk of change, it’s just a drop in the bucket of what it’s currently worth.

“When I bought the Promise Land I paid $5.9 million for it,” he explains. “It was estimated at over $30 million the last time we had it [appraised].” Not everybody saw Ross’ vision at first, however. According to him, his mother Tommie Roberts wasn’t convinced that the property was a wise purchase. “She’s like, ‘Will, the house got a damn 120 rooms. What the hell are you gonna do with 120 rooms?’”

Rick Ross Chats About His “Promise Land” Property

Luckily, Rick Ross knew that his mother would see the bigger picture eventually. “I knew as long as I had that conversation with her I could convince her… She’s got my back regardless,” he says. “When she stopped questioning me and just looking at me… Because I don’t know, I don’t have the answer every time.” Clearly, Rick Ross had the answer at least that time, as his property is now worth nearly five times as much as what he originally paid for it.

What do you think of Rick Ross revealing that his property in Georgia is now worth nearly five times as much as he paid for it? Are you surprised? What about his mother questioning the purchase in the beginning? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Hawaii Compound Features Massive Underground Bunker: Report

Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building a mysterious underground bunker on his compound in Hawaii, according to a new investigation by Wired. Citing “a source familiar with the development,” the outlet says that “a tunnel that branches off into a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter” will connect two main residences. The shelter boasts a concrete-filled metal door, an escape hatch, an 18-foot-tall water tank and pump system, as well as agriculture and ranching structures to produce food.

In addition to the bunker, the property will feature “a web of 11 disk-shaped treehouses” connected by rope bridges “allowing visitors to cross from one building to the next while staying among the treetops.” A 6-foot stone wall also protects the entire 1,400-acre property. Zuckerberg has reportedly already hosted two tech industry events there.

A spokesperson for Zuckerberg and Chan told PEOPLE in a statement: “Mark and Priscilla value the time their family spends at Ko’olau Ranch and in the local community” and are working to preserve the ranch’s “natural beauty.” “When they acquired the property, they rescinded an existing agreement that would have allowed for portions of the property to be divided into 80 luxury homes. Under their care, less than one percent of the overall land is developed with the vast majority dedicated to farming, ranching, conservation, open spaces and wildlife preservation. This includes a large cattle ranching program, organic ginger and turmeric farms, a nursery dedicated to native plant restoration, and partnering with Kauai’s foremost wildlife conservation experts to protect native birds and other endangered or threatened wildlife populations.”

Further details about the property are unclear. Zuckerberg prohibits workers from sharing any information about it publically. Security guards patrol the grounds and use 20 security cameras to help keep the family safe. Be on the lookout for further updates on Mark Zuckerberg and his Hawaii property on HotNewHipHop.

Cardi B Looks To Seize Tasha K’s Property

Cardi B reportedly took a huge step towards collecting her $4 million defamation judgement from Tasha K- and it’s not pretty. Moreover, the court reportedly issued a “writ of execution” to the blogger and Kebe Studios LLC in Georgia on Thursday (April 20), according to AllHipHop. Said judgement permits Cardi to seize Tasha K’s property in order to gain the money owed from the rapper’s victorious case. Following a 2019 lawsuit, the court found Tasha guilty of invasion of privacy, defamation, and deliberate infliction of emotional distress in 2022. While she could seize more assets than just property, it’s still quite the aggressive turn for the case.

On that note, people online are split between seeing this as righteous retribution or going a little too far. “I love how Cardi not letting up on Tasha K! Shouldn’t have been talking s**t,” one user wrote on Twitter. Another differed; “I wish Cardi B would let that shid go…. I’m getting so tired of seeing this back and forth shid with Tasha K… Now she tryna take that woman house…. b***h you got money and a few houses Let it tf go!!! Got damn!!!”

Cardi B Wants Her $4 Million Defamation Judgement

Given that Cardi B even checked to see if she got the payment, apparently that wasn’t the case. Also, Tasha K apparently responded to this new development on her Twitter account. Previously, she apologized to the 30-year-old after losing her appeal. Now, her response seemed to lightly refer to her other debts and hinted towards a payment queue. “Look! Sis & Law I Know you need that cause work is slow for all of us right now, but right now, I ain’t got it!” she tweeted. “But let your lawyers know that when I’m up, you gone be up & stuck… You get first dibs after this irs bill gets paid…”

Meanwhile, this is far from the only controversy Tasha K got into with a celebrity, although it’s certainly the most high-profile. For example, R. Kelly claimed that the blogger tampered with witnesses in his case. With all this in mind, hopefully these legal troubles find resolution in more amicable ways. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and Tasha K. In addition, check out the latter’s apparent response to Cardi potentially seizing her property down below.

Meek Mill Questions Why Rick Ross Bought Another Property Of His

Rick Ross is well-known for his massive money moves, although that has Meek Mill asking some questions. Moreover, Rozay just bought another property from Meek, this time being his $4.2 million Atlanta mansion that he bought a couple of weeks ago. However, it was only on Wednesday (April 19) that the Philly MC took to Twitter to express some curiosity as to what the Maybach Music mogul is doing with all that land, as he apparently bought even more. “Ross bought another crib off me for a ‘m’ yesterday!” he wrote on the social media platform. “I had to ask him tf you doing with all this property.”

What’s more is that we apparently have a vague answer to that question by way of Rick Ross’ realtor. In fact, apparently he bought Meek Mill’s mansion in ATL in cash. Of course, frequent followers of the “Hustlin’” MC know that he already owns an expansive estate in Georgia titled “The Promise Land.” “I’ve been working to make an impact in the luxury market and this did just that,” realtor Alisha Gillooly remarked about this recent acquisition.

Meek Mill Wonders Why Rick Ross Bought Another Of His Properties

Furthermore, Meek Mill had this home on the market for about two years, and recently uploaded a video tour of it to his Instagram. Also, he said that he didn’t even know Rick Ross purchased the home until after they signed the deal. In the video tour, he joked that his realtor wasn’t selling the property fast enough, and apparently it worked. “MANSION FOR SALE IN ATL,” he captioned the video. “My realtor not getting this off fast enough & I think I can lol. I never moved in it had for a few years.

“Sandy springs/buckhead area!” the “Dreams and Nightmares” MC continued. “When somebody get traded to the hawks or falcons come grab this Jawn! I’m not even gone tag who shot this s***ty video lol!” Moreover, the two recently teased an upcoming collaboration with pictures of them in the studio together. As such, they have more money moves on the way, for sure. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rick Ross and Meek Mill.

Rick Ross Addresses Buffalo Debacle With Neighbor

Having a stray cat show up at your front porch is one thing, but a 2,000 pound buffalo? That’s just an animal control frenzy waiting to happen. Rick Ross recently addressed reports that his pet buffaloes were intruding on a neighbor’s yard, who did not take kindly to them. Moreover, she lives behind Ross’ “Promise Land” property in Fayetteville, Georgia, and said that the animals roughed up her yard and pose a threat to her kids, who typically play outside. On his Instagram Story, the rapper thanked neighbors who alerted him of their escape. Also, he clarified that they don’t harm humans, which is as directly as he addressed the specific neighbor that complained.

“Everybody that wanted a statement and a response for my bulls, my cows [and] a couple of buffaloes that got away in the community, this is my response,” he expressed. “I always return stray animals. Make sure to always keep a collar on your animal. And mine don’t have a collar ’cause you know it’s mines. So when you see my buffalo, give it a carrot. Give it an apple. They’re so kind and so peaceful. Thank everybody for watching. Thank everybody for making sure all my animals got back into the Promise Land…all my neighbors, Fayetteville, y’all the best, boss.”

Rick Ross Addresses Buffalo Escape

In another clip, he actually thanked TMZ for breaking the story and further showed appreciation to his neighbors. In addition, he clarified once again that his pets are just grazers, and not meat-eaters. Of course, he wouldn’t be Rick Ross if he didn’t promote one of his many business ventures. As such, the clips tag his Deacon whiskey and, in the exclusive clip where he thanks TMZ, he invites viewers to “have a drink on me.”

Meanwhile, the Carol City MC recently linked up with Meek Mill, and they’re apparently dropping new music soon. The two are frankly iconic collaborators at this point, if only for their classic “Ima Boss.” However, there’s always room for improvement, so hopefully they drop another bonafide banger sooner rather than later. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rick Ross and his massive pets.
