From music to real estate, digital assets, and more, Rick Ross has deftly imprinted his name as one of the music moguls owning investments outside the music industry.
William Leonard Roberts II, known popularly by his stage name Rick Ross and more prominently dubbed ‘Boss,’ has enjoyed tremendous success in the music industry. However, in the past few years, the Carol City-bred hip-hop head has shown that he is equally a ‘Boss’ outside the booths and music stage.
With his array of investments in different industries, Rick Ross is surely living the line “I’m the biggest boss that you’ve seen thus far” from his music track – Boss. He has remarkably shown why he is called ‘The Biggest Boss,’ and he is living up to that status, owing to the fact that he has etched his unique abilities as a Midas touch that transforms each of his endeavors into outstanding success.
William Leonard Roberts II has clinched multi-million dollar endorsement deals with multinationals, including Reebok, Belaire Rosé Champagne, Tequilla brand – 1800, and many more.
