In 2021, Rick Ross Said He Personally Cuts the Grass in His Home and I Like That.
~ Wednesday, November 30, 2022 Blog Post ~
I appreciate rapper Rick Ross when he cited last year that he personally cuts the grass in his home. Moreover, he mentioned that he flies economy or commercial and appreciates items that cost US$8 or US$20. I also do the gardening tasks in my house, although sometimes I outsource this job so I can use my time to relax or spend time with my hobbies.
Rick Ross’s net worth at the time of writing this blog post is US$45 million, per the information posted on CelebrityNetWorth.com. This 46-year-old songwriter, record executive, entrepreneur, CEO, and producer also wrote a book I appreciate: “The Perfect Day to Boss Up: A Hustler’s Guide to Building Your Empire.”
William Leonard Roberts II is behind the 2021 studio album “Richer Than I Have Ever Been.” Additionally, this “Hustlin’” rapper keeps his official Instagram account with the handle @RichForever where he has more than 16.4 million social media followers at the time of writing this blog post.
Apparently, Rick Ross loves his luxurious lifestyle while also being practical in some aspects of his financial life. We can also say he is grounded despite his multi-millionaire celebrity status. I think my observations are reflected by his Instagram images I uploaded in this article. I like these pictures so I selected them for this blog post.
Here are two articles about Rozay doing the landscape in his home:

Rick Ross Shares That He Saves Money by Cutting His Own Grass and Flying Commercial

No one talks about the spoils of wealth and opulence better than Rick Ross. But, Rozay also does the hard work to maintain his lifestyle by practicing fiscal responsibility.
Ross proudly resides on a 235 acre estate in Fayetteville, Georgia that was previously owned by boxing legend Evander Holyfield. Although he took over Holyfield’s property, Ross isn’t following in his financial footsteps. Instead of spending close to $1 million a year to maintain the mansion’s lawn, Ross told Forbes that he actually cuts the grass himself.
“When I bought the Fayetteville estate, locals would see me walk out of a restaurant and scream, ‘You know Holyfield spent $1 million a year to cut the grass.’ So I decided that I was gonna cut my own grass. And that’s what I did,” Ross said in a new interview. “I went down to John Deere and asked to see the biggest tractor, the most efficient tractor. I told them I had 200-plus acres that I wanted to keep cut, and they pointed out the right tractor. … I may have sat in the same spot for two hours before I got everything working, but once I got it going, I didn’t stop. I cut grass for about five hours.”
In doing this, Ross realized that cutting his own grass gave him the type of normalcy and “peace” he was seeking to balance out his superstar lifestyle.
“I realized that this was something I wanted to do. It was subconscious,” he continued. “I sit there and have my cannabis rolled up, and, man, I look at the property and can appreciate my struggles and my triumphs, those rough days. It’s the smallest thing, but it keeps a smile on my face. So, you know, for anybody who doesn’t cut their own grass, I would say take time out every two or three months to cut your grass because it is such a great and peaceful sensation.”
Taking care of his own grass isn’t the only way Ross cuts corners. He tells Forbes that he has an affinity for “finding beautiful things that cost $8 or $20” at swap meets and antique stores, and he takes commercial flights on Delta as much as possible. He also forges partnerships with companies that align with his lifestyle, which affords him the financial freedom to spend money on the things he’s always wanted.
“Yes, I’m not about throwing money away, but it’s important that people enjoy the fruits of your labor and stay ahead of the curve,” Ross said. “I make sure that I am surrounded by love and inspiration and motivation. Through the window I am looking out of right now in the Southwest Ranches, I can see my red-on-red 458 Ferrari, and it is inspiring.”

Rick Ross Cuts His Own Grass and Flies Commercial: ‘I Can Appreciate My Struggles and Triumphs’
“It’s the smallest thing, but it keeps a smile on my face,” he said.

Rick Ross doesn’t want to put his “Money in the Grave.”
During an interview with Forbes, the esteemed rapper, 45, revealed that he has some special ways to cut back on costs — despite living on a 235-acre Georgia mansion and enjoying life in luxury.
“I don’t have a big jet. I try my best to fly Delta,” he said in the interview. “I love swap meets and antique stores. I love finding beautiful things that cost $8 or $20.”
He even does his own landscaping.
“When I bought the Fayetteville estate, locals would see me walk out of a restaurant and scream, ‘You know Holyfield spent $1 million a year to cut the grass.’ So I decided that I was gonna cut my own grass. And that’s what I did,” Ross said.
“I went down to John Deere and asked to see the biggest tractor, the most efficient tractor. I told them I had 200-plus acres that I wanted to keep cut, and they pointed out the right tractor,” he added. “I bought it right then and there. I bought the extended attachment on the back that would cut even wider. Once I got it back home, I filled it up with gas.”
“I may have sat in the same spot for two hours before I got everything working, but once I got it going, I didn’t stop. I cut grass for about five hours,” he continued.
The rapper went on to explain that cutting his own grass was a “subconscious” thing “I wanted to do.”
He said his tractor has its windows tinted, and is even decked out with air-conditioning and a radio as well.
“People still know it’s me, but when I get in the tractor, it’s a whole other level of peace, a whole other level of connecting with the estate and the animals and the birds and the wildlife,” he said. “I sit there and have my cannabis rolled up, and, man, I look at the property and can appreciate my struggles and my triumphs, those rough days. It’s the smallest thing, but it keeps a smile on my face.”
Ross continued, “So, you know, for anybody who doesn’t cut their own grass, I would say take time out every two or three months to cut your grass because it is such a great and peaceful sensation.”
Also in the interview, Ross said he’s “not about throwing money away,” but more about enjoying his riches.
“Through the window, I am looking out of right now in the Southwest Ranches, I can see my red-on-red 458 Ferrari, and it is inspiring,” he said. “The work is inspiring, but it can drain you. So while I want people to understand that everything is possible, you have to separate yourself and find balance.”
