Rick Ross flaunts massive backyard pool inspiring business success and film productions
Rapper and entrepreneur Rick Ross owns one of the largest backyard pools in the United States, located on his 300-acre Atlanta estate, The Promise Land, CNN reports. The massive pool holds about 350,000 gallons of water and requires a four-person crew from Georgia Plaster and Tile to maintain. Speaking to CNN, Ross said he enjoys both his Atlanta pool and Miami's ocean, often swimming during the summer and using the pool for morning meditation. 'I love being in the water… Shout out all the Aquariuses,' he said. Ross has turned his pool into more than a personal retreat. The property has served as a filming location for productions such as the 2018 remake of Superfly and the 2021 sequel to Coming to America. He also hosts an annual car show and pool party, which he says are designed to inspire younger generations by showing what can be achieved through hard work and determination. In addition to leading Maybach Music Group, Ross has expanded his business interests to include multiple Wingstop franchises, a partnership with Luc Belaire sparkling wine, and an investment in Rap Snacks. At a recent pool party, Ross mingled with guests, posed for photos, and poured drinks, creating what attendees described as a welcoming and motivational environment. Brad Baker, who traveled from Greenville, South Carolina, said the rapper's energy is consistently positive and encourages others to build financial success. Ross jokingly calls the pool 'Wet Wet' and credits it as a creative spark. 'That's the ghost writer… There's no way you gonna come out here and not be inspired,' he said.
