Miami’s own rap mogul Rick Ross is a titan in the music industry — and now, he has a grand home in the works, to boot.
Last summer, the Grammy-nominated rapper from Miami Gardens made headlines when he dropped a cool $35 million to acquire a waterfront estate on Star Island.
Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II, didn’t stop at that purchase price, The Post has learned.
He’s investing an additional $20 million in a gut renovation, transforming the property into a megamansion worth $100 that will rival the opulent homes of Miami’s elite, including billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Ken Griffin.
What’s in store is certainly quite luxe, including the addition of 4,000 square feet to its footprint.
“We are excited to be expanding the home towards the ocean and we are planning a Japanese rare Koi fish pond, the walls with maybe a Basquiat painting,” Ross told The Post.
The 12,400-square-foot mansion, located at 37 Star Island Drive, caught Ross’s eye last year. After getting the green light from the Star Island homeowners association in mid-July, Ross excitedly announced his acquisition on social media.
And it seems Ross’s A-list neighbors are just as thrilled about his new digs. Sean “Diddy” Combs, who resides nearby, even gifted Ross a golf cart to help him navigate the island’s exclusive confines.
But Ross isn’t just relying on his own tastes for this overhaul.
He’s enlisted the expertise of celebrity and billionaire homebuilder Manny Angelo Varas to bring his vision to life. Varas, known for his discretion with high-profile clients, is no stranger to creating lavish estates fit for the elite.
