The most noteworthy piece of real estate he owns is a $5.8 million mansion in Georgia with an astounding 109 rooms. The renowned boxer Evander Holyfield was the previous owner of this home. Let’s take a closer look at Rick Ross’s lavish home.
Evander Holyfield, who made over $350 million in his boxing career, was the undisputed cruiserweight champion in the 1980s. After running into multiple roadblocks and pursuing a number of interests, the former boxer decided to prioritize spending time with his family.
Sadly, Holyfield’s Georgian mansion—one of his most valued properties—needed a lot of work. According to The Sun, the estate required $1 million in maintenance, which finally led to its foreclosure and subsequent auction sale.

The home is a sight to behold, with an amazing fountain gracing the entryway and an exquisite white stone façade embellished with elaborate moldings.
