Rick Ross<\/a> often divides his time between his mansions in Atlanta and Miami.\n <\/p>\n\n So, where does the rapper and entrepreneur prefer relaxing most?\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cSwimming pools in Atlanta,\u201d Ross told CNN during a recent interview, smiling. \u201cThe ocean, the beach in Miami.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n He knows a thing or two about pools, it turns out. Ross\u2019 expansive estate of more than 300 acres outside of Atlanta \u2013 which he named The Promise Land \u2013 features one of the largest residential pools in the country. It holds 350,000 gallons of water and requires a crew of four from Georgia Plaster and Tile to maintain it.\n <\/p>\n
\n And it\u2019s not just for show.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cI use it. I swim every summer,\u201d said Ross, who also sometimes uses the pool as part of his morning meditations. \u201cI love being in the water, you know. I\u2019m (an) Aquarius. Shout out all the Aquariuses.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The luxe pool is also a source of revenue.\n <\/p>\n
\n Ross has rented out his estate and pool for films such as 2018\u2019s \u201cSuperfly\u201d and the sequel to \u201cComing to America,\u201d which was released in 2021.\n <\/p>\n
\n He also opens his home up annually for a car show as well as a pool party because he believes that showing off his success is a way to let younger generations know that with hard work and determination, the sky is the limit.\n <\/p>\n
\n Ross, who acts as the chief executive officer of Maybach Music Group (MMG), has extended his portfolio well beyond music as a franchise owner of multiple Wingstop restaurant locations, a partnership with Luc Belaire sparkling wine as well as an interest in Rap Snacks, to name just a few side hustles.\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n \u201cTo me what\u2019s most beautiful about it is I believe I could help translate that story to the younger ones,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause when I was growing up in school and I was mischievous a lot of times I remember teachers telling me it\u2019s either death or jail. And that wasn\u2019t really the way to translate it to me.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n One recent windy and overcast Saturday, Ross hosted his pool party, which some fans purchased tickets to attend. The pool is truly a sight to behold, practically spanning the entire width of his sprawling main mansion on the property.\n <\/p>\n
\n Ever the gregarious host, Ross popped bottles of Belaire, posed for photos and generally made people feel welcomed in The Promise Land.\n <\/p>\n
\n Brad Baker drove three hours from Greenville, South Carolina, for the pool party. Baker has attended for the past few years, and said it\u2019s a vibe being able to party with Ross.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cHe\u2019s just positive, you know? It\u2019s just positive energy,\u201d Baker said. \u201cIt\u2019s just nothing that he could say that would make you feel like, \u2018Oh man, I don\u2019t like that cat.\u2019 He\u2019s all about making your money and he shows you how to get money.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The pool, which Ross jokingly christened \u201cWet Wet\u201d when prompted, also helps make that money in the form of inspiration for some of his music.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThat\u2019s the ghost writer. That\u2019s Wet Wet aka the ghost writer,\u201d the Grammy-nominated rapper said, laughing. \u201cThere\u2019s no way you gonna come out here and not be inspired.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Dripping wet with inspiration, in fact.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link Rick Ross often divides his time between his mansions in Atlanta and Miami.
