It’s the simple things in life.
While he heavily flexes his wealth and opulence, Rick Ross has also shared that he works hard to maintain his lifestyle by practising fiscal responsibility. The American rapper who resides on a 235-acre estate in Fayetteville, Georgia that was previously owned by boxing legend Evander Holyfield said he cuts the grass outside his house himself.
He elaborates:
“When I bought the Fayetteville estate, locals would see me walk out of a restaurant and scream, ‘You know Holyfield spent $1 million a year to cut the grass.’ So I decided that I was gonna cut my own grass. And that’s what I did,” Ross said in a new interview. “I went down to John Deere and asked to see the biggest tractor, the most efficient tractor. I told them I had 200-plus acres that I wanted to keep cut, and they pointed out the right tractor. … I may have sat in the same spot for two hours before I got everything working, but once I got it going, I didn’t stop. I cut grass for about five hours.”
While doing this, Rick Ross discovered that cutting his own grass gave him a sort of “peace” that he was seeking out to balance his ‘superstar’ sort of lifestyle. “I realized that this was something I wanted to do. It was subconscious,” he continued.
“I look at the property and can appreciate my struggles and my triumphs, those rough days. It’s the smallest thing, but it keeps a smile on my face. So, you know, for anybody who doesn’t cut their own grass, I would say take time out every two or three months to cut your grass because it is such a great and peaceful sensation.”

Taking care of his own grass isn’t the only way Ross saving some cash. He tells Forbes that he has an affinity for “finding beautiful things that cost $8 or $20” at swap meets and antique stores, and he takes commercial flights on Delta as much as possible. He also creates partnerships with companies that go well with his lifestyle, which affords him the financial freedom to spend money on the things he’s always wanted.
What’s a simple task you would do to find peace even if you were as rich as Rick Ross?
