Career: Ross worked as a correctional officer for 18 months from December 1995, until his resignation in June 1997. Ross made his debut under the pseudonym Teflon Da Don. He changed his name to Rick Ross in the mid-2000s. His stage name was inspired by the former drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross. He released his debut single “Hustlin” in 2006 and became the subject of a bidding war. He got offers from Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment and Irv Gotti’s Murder Inc. Ross ended up signing a multimillion-dollar deal with Jay-Z’s Def Jam Records.

Ross was also the first artist signed to Diddy’s management company Ciroc Entertainment. In early 2012, MTV named Ross as the Hottest MC in the Game. Ross appeared on VH1’s popular show Snoop and Martha’s Potluck Dinner Party. In the episode, he was paired up to cook with Martha Stewart. Legal Issues: Ross has had trouble with the law in a traditional sense – he’s been arrested for guns and drugs and has also faced lawsuits from various other people in the music industry. In January 2008, Ross was arrested on gun and marijuana charges. During a deposition of Officer Rey Hernandez, the Miami Beach cop who arrested Ross, Ross’s lawyer asked Hernandez why Ross’s case was assigned to the gang task force. The officer stated that it was because Ross claimed affiliation with Triple C’s (aka Carol City Cartel), and other known gang members.The officer did not provide proof of Ross’s affiliation with the gang In August 2008, YouTube entertainer DJ Vlad filed a lawsuit against Ross for assault and battery. Vlad claimed Ross organized an ambush on him at the 2008 Ozone Awards in Houston, Texas for asking questions about his past as a correctional officer. In June 2010 “Freeway” Ricky Ross sued Ross for using his name, filing a copyright infringement lawsuit in a California federal court. On December 30, 2013, the court ruled in favor of the rapper Rick Ross, allowing him to keep the name based on a First Amendment ruling. Personal Life: Ross has four children: Toie Roberts, William Roberts III, Berkeley Hermes Roberts, and Billion Leonard Roberts. Rick Ross is a Christian  and in an interview with Corey “Coco Brother” Condrey on Lift Every Voice, he indicated that “I had told myself at one point no matter what I go through, I never question God.” In addition, Ross indicated that he prays every time he goes on stage to perform. On January 27, 2013, while celebrating his 37th birthday, Ross and his girlfriend were the targets of a drive-by shooting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Neither Ross nor his girlfriend were hurt, but they ended up crashing their car into an apartment in an attempt to escape the shooting. In 2015, Ross was briefly engaged to Lira “Galore” Mercer. In 2017, Ross was criticized for stating in an interview that he never signed a female rapper because “I would end up f*cking [her] and f*cking the business up.” Ross quickly apologized through a Facebook post where he called his comments “insensitive” and a “mistake [he regrets].” Salary Highlights: We’ve been tracking the salary and net worth of Rick Ross since 2007.
