From the runway at Miami-Opa Locka to the skies, RickRoss proves why he’s not just in the game—he’s above it.
The 9 time Grammy Award-nominated, multi-platinum artist always knew that he was going to be flying high, soaring above the rest with the strength of his ambition and will. And he’s proven that, by going from “Hustlin’” to sitting down with President Barack Obama at the White House, starring alongside Eddie Murphy in Coming 2 America, and cementing his place on the New York Times bestseller list — twice. He’s also received billions of streams, dozens of multi-platinum certifications, and five #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200.
Beyond the music, the 49-year-old luxury connoisseur is also a strategic entrepreneur, and has built one of the most formidable empires in the world, spanning numerous restaurants, personal product launches, collaborations, and a real estate portfolio worth tens of millions of dollars. His business interests include Wingstop, Checkers, Belaire Rosé + Sovereign Brands, Rap Snacks, High Tolerance, Slippery Soap LLC, the Rick Ross Car & Bike Show, the Rick Ross Boss Up Conference, and, of course, Maybach Music Group — the label he founded, which helped break superstars like Meek Mill and Wale.
And now, as Ross continues to expand his kingdom, he sat down to talk about a long-held dream that finally came true: having his own private plane. A lifelong lover of transportation, Rick’s passion for pristine craftsmanship started early. At just 13 years old, he worked at a local car wash in Miami, falling in love with the art of automobiles. That same meticulous passion fuels his aviation journey today. His personal jet — a striking Gulfstream G550 emblazoned with “Rich Forever” on the side — stands as a testament to his commitment to living life at the highest altitude, blending business and pleasure with effortless style.
