Weeks after Miami, Florida rapper Rick Ross questioned his status on Forbes’ annual Hip Hop Cash Kings list, the Maybach Music Group founder revealed that he could possibly become a billionaire, during his interview with Power 105.1’s Angie Martinez.
Ross went on to explain that seeing his team succeed was his primary goal and shared that “anything” is possible with a solid team.
“I could,” Rick Ross said when asked if he’ll be a billionaire one day. “Really just seeing the team shine was my goal. But we multiplied that on so many levels. As far as the team continuing to grow, we bringing other soldiers in from everywhere…We got a mean roster. And I feel anything possible. You get one ticket you most definitely get ten. You get ten, a hundred is right up the street…Once you touch a hundred it’s hard not to be aggressive.”
The Floridian emcee was later asked how he compares to Hip Hop moguls like Jay Z and Puff Daddy. He gave credit to both artists for helping him in his career, but did share his belief that he’s on “the back of they mind” competition-wise.
“As far as my peers, I absorb game,” he said. “Jay brought me to New York and signed me to Def Jam Records. Puff was one of the first dudes to show me what a real bag of money look like…I’m in the back of they mind. And that’s how it is when you a boss. When you a boss—And it’s a good thing because they know I’m 1,000. Jay know I’m 1,000 with him. Puff know I’m 1,000 with him. Stunner. And that’s why they open their doors for me at all times.”
Ross also offered an update on the currently incarcerated Meek Mill. He says the Philly rapper is “almost at the door” when it concerns his release and that upon being released will be met by a team that’s intact and ready to go.
“When it come to the team. When it come to the family I’mma run into a burning building for them,” Ross said in a video posted on HotNewHipHop.com. “Double M G. At the end of the day it’s all about us having to be responsible in handling our business. That’s what the team gon’ do. Meek team ready, intact when he come home. He almost at the door now. I want y’all to keep writing the lil’ homie. But it ain’t long now…When the homie come home I expect the homie to want to go in and just go on his Machiavelli…And to see the streets support him, ride with him, and rock with him the way they’ve been doing while he’s been down. You can’t help but get the feeling that when he come home it’s gon’ be something that we ain’t seen.”
Meek Mill’s sophomore album, Dreams Worth More Than Money was initially scheduled for a September 2 release, but will now be released at a later date. Ross revealed the news in a statement released last month.
“MMG and Meek Mill have decided to release Dreams Worth More Than Money at a future date,” Rick Ross said in a statement, according to MTV. “In true MMG fashion, Meek has dedicated himself to perfecting his sophomore project and it is only right that it should be rolled out exceptionally well. MMG also wants his fans to know that Meek is doing great and he wants to hear from you.”

Lol that nigga is delusional FOH
DANIELLE HARLING CAN EAT SHIT AND DIE REAL SLOW
leave my babby girl alone ya heard!
This must stop.
It will take time but anything is possible, if you can make it to a million before the age of 40 then you can most def make it to a billion before you tap out.
No, he can’t!
Think of all the biggest names in entertainment and ask yourself how many of them are billionaires? Paul McCartney and Dr. Dre?
If Gene Simmons and Jon Bon Jovi aren’t billionaires at this point in their lives Ross has no hope of coming anywhere close.
A fat nigga can dream though right?
I never heard of those skunks you named but I know Dr Dre was a broke ass DJ in 1987 and in 2014 he is almost at a Billion. If you believe it you can achieve it.
You must out of touch with music if you don’t know who Paul McCartney, Gene Simmons, or Jon Bon Jovi are.
Three white men should have no trouble making millions, The Beatles, Kiss, Bon Jovi? Awesome….
How about Russel Simmons? Prince? MJ? Its not impossible, you just have to hustle hard and make wise investments, most improtantly diversify your shit. Sometimes you can get lucky, who would have thought that designer headphones for $299 would be a must have fashion accessory ?
Ross dont have what Russel, Prince or MJ had. Nigga can’t even sell plat at the peak of his career.
Keep trying to feed the whole hood or else you will end up like MC Hammer.
“Puff was one of the first dudes to show me what a real bag of money look like”
But I thought he made millions selling cocaine? I thought as a legendary dope boy and one of the biggest bosses in Miami he would have seen a bag of money before this rap ish…. He’s caught in a web of lies.
LOL, white people.
LOL black people and their infatuation with lies and making themselves look gangster.
Lookin “gangster” helped Fidddy rob these KKkrackaS piggy banks and now my nigga buying mini Mercedes for his seed. BooyaKA!! Mo Fiyah!!
Rick Ross Says He’s On Jay-Z and Puff Daddy’s Minds
” but did share his belief that hes on “the back of they mind” competition-wise.”
Well thats a reach for a fucking headline if I ever saw one. LOL I took it too mean that Jay and Diddy ain’t thinking about him at all competition wise, he the last thing on their minds or he’s in the back on their minds since he makes as much as Mac Miller every year.
puffy pursuing his infatuation for fat niggas
Damn it must suck to be white, u troll all day long on a hip hop website…
Im proud of my whiteness and Im not trolling Im just showing my appreciation to Black culture and trying to make friends with Black people.
Belaire blew the f*** up, when Ace of Spades dropped you had 5 niccaz go up on one bottle and pass that bish around like you was King Tut!
thats great for the white folk who own it LOL
Keep hustling, anything is possible. Be sure to check out thegrandreport(dot)com they have some good videos on there too
You in the back of my mind, too, Ricky Poo!
MMG officially formed in 2009 so thats pretty good for 5 years but Bad Boy and Cash Money are 20 years in. The top moguls have all been in the game 20 years, Ross been in the game damn near 20 years too but he didnt get on untill around 2006 so he got a loooooooooong way to go to catch up.
50 Cent is listed as one of the top 5 moguls without 20 years in the game. Did that shit in half the time.
50 is no longer a Top 5 mogul, he got lucky when Chris Lighty got him the Vitamin Water deal and Coca Cola purchased the company and made him a bundle but since then he has dropped all the way down the list next to DJ Khaled.
Subtract 16 million from 50 and then subtract about 5 million from Wiz.
as of Forbes Cash King list last year he was still number 5
Dat nigga is delusional.he only worth 18mill
ROFL thats what I was thinking the whole time I read that Bull…
Ross has heavy delusions, he probably hallucinates lol
Forbes Cash Kings:
Ross
2009 – 6 mill
2010- 5 mill
2011 – 6 mill
2012 – 9 mill
2013 – 6 mill
2014 – 7 mill
= $39 Million
Thats what Forbes has listed for the last six years annually so where did you get the
number 19 from? He dropped in ’06 so from ’06 to ’09 I dont know.
Ross was moving up three years in a row from 2010-2012 and then took a step back in 2013 and then put his foot on the gas again in 2014.
Bruh do you realize that all that money earned doesn’t do into his savings? He has to pay taxes on it and on top of that it costs money to keep up this boss image.
If the nigga earned 39 million he only saw 25 of it and spent most of it along the way.
He spent most of it on charity. That’s also why ross’s net worth is higher than what is reported in forbes. He helps charity out.
Bruh do you realize that a mutthafucka just posted his annual yearly gross according to their research and the Muthafuckin shit dont include his personal and private revenue from private ventures that are not public?
Dumb nigga said “it takes money to keep up this boss image” have you seen that niggas Prom picture? This nigga was fly before rap, if you want to dress nice you should be able to dress however the fuck you want.
He looked so supa fly in that C.O.’s uniform that he denied it was him and said the haters photoshopped his head LMAO
“He spent most of it on charity. That’s also why ross’s net worth is higher than what is reported in forbes. He helps charity out.”
Ross spends none of his money on charity and he doesn’t help them out. His net worth isn’t that high, groupie.
ross is fightin for that loose change, Ja Rule got real stacks #FUCKFAME
c.o. + wanksta what a coulpe…
he needs an OSCAR asap, never outta character, sunglasses on inside so you cant see his eyes while he spins more lies and lies
You don’t see the picture where his glasses are off?
I didnt see the picture my moms computer is shitty and the screen is cracked
But I thought he made millions selling cocaine? I thought as a legendary dope boy and one of the biggest bosses in Miami he would have seen a bag of money before this rap ish…. He’s caught in a web of lies.”
Again, that was all entertainment aka curly jackson. Puff introduced him to financial saving and money. He started off broke in Miami.
You friggin shitbird you can eat my shorts, everything in rap songs is real life butthole.
No dumb ass. Not music. He went and did interviews saying that he really made millions off cocaine. He said he can put 1000 gangsters in any hood then got his whip shot up and ran outta Detroit.
Much like how Curtis was a broke drug dealer.
Curtis got the pics dawg. The chains, the whips, the jail photos. Ross got no history and no story with anyone backing it up.
Money can put 1000 gangsters in any hood and for the right price you can get your mothers house shot up in Queens. A rapper says some wild shit and your silly ass repeats it like a brainwashed zombie. Go listen to LiL B and get ya mind right.
The “interviews” were actually scripted as entertainment. If he were to proclaim himself as a drug dealer for real, the government would have his ass hauled to jail.
Ross dont got the money to put 1000 gangsters in any hood thats why he ran out of Detroit with his beard tucked between his legs until he was safe in Miami to get on the radio and make up another tale to try and cover his L.
Scripted? LOL you’re reaching big time with that lame ass excuse.
Im glad the Ross fanatics can finally admit he is an character/actor just playing a part.
“Much like how Curtis was a broke drug dealer.”
Curtis never claimed to be broke. He always said his grandparents took care of him but he wanted more so he went out and sold drugs from the age of 12 or so.
With you laughing at ross for not putting down 1000 gangsters, not realizing its just entertainment, I dare you to put 1000 gangsters at once.
If he got ran out of Detroit there would have been footage or their would have been violence like when Trick Daddy for jumped on stage.
A bunch of negroes with picket signs refusing to let your security detail into the venue
only means that the Detroit rap scene will always be dead except for King Eminem and
King Kid Rock and Insane Clown Posse…white rappers run the blackest city in the U.S so
why the fuck should a nigga pay Hood taX!!!!!!! Fuck em all, let em starve.
People always got Baby on a list like Slim dont exist.
Dre and Jimmy Iovine are in a different league to jay and diddy.Ross aint even noticed by them his biggest year was that BMF styles p track (check the extended styles p verse its fire)
he made something like 15 million that year bout 8 after tax he spends 3 million throwing money at meth head strippers poppin bottles and a bottomless bucket of chicken wings……….so he got 5 million to split with the shouty philly nigga ,the emotional droopy faced fuck-boy wale, the crackhead who looks like someone shit on his head and himself
actually in his biggest year ever he made 9 million
U aint slick Rozay we know you got them on the album.
he already confirmed he has jay-z on the album, like always, cant put out an album without a single from his hova. i bet hov still gets a piece of everything ross does since he signed him.
JayZ and Rozay are brothers so they will always hop in the studio and make classics even tho Hov wasn’t on Deeper Than Rap which is Ross best album….sad thing is that Dr Dre has been on every 50 Cent album and got executive producer publishing money but the last album that flopped didnt have Dre and Em as executive producer……..damn homie ya first album without a white guy on it flopped. 🙁
They ain’t brothers and they didn’t make any classics.
Ross will never be worth $100 mill much less a billion, but he’s still clearly living well, and doing what a lot of rappers wish they were doing.
Yall haters need to fall back. Ross had R Kelly out to the holyfield mansion and they been looking after all the children so chill. R Kelly and Rozay gonna make sure the kids are aight.
It’s hard to take this man seriously when you realize he earns as much money as Mac Miller… enough with the boss shit nigga you aint doing it like that. All his shit be rented or fake just like them sunglasses he got called out for by the designer brand he worships.
That was highly embarrassing
How can you name drop a brand, when you cant even afford them ?
This guy has no shame.. He is a walking joke
Some lonely nights I go online and attempt to elicit responses from strangers on message boards with posts intended to bait people into a response but I feel like shit when they ignore me and don’t respond directly to what I wanted them to…..my MOM says she held me too much.
guy right above me is a walking joke. the sunglasses were real they were just customized with diamonds in them. you’re a lame hater. shout out to Rick Ross
The street nigga in me tells me that the Sunglasse were custmoized by Jack Bernstein with diamonds and rhinestones like millionaires do…..
The geek wigga in me tells me that the Sunglasses were purchased at a yard sale or some other corny shit.
“The street nigga in me tells me that the Sunglasse were custmoized by Jack Bernstein with diamonds and rhinestones”
aint no street nigga know about jack bernie or diamond shades you fuck boy… stop pretending
Ross got bigger boobies than Angie.
Where is Stalley? Why is Ross doing a press tour with a cardboard cutout of Stalley when he could bring him out to promote his inevitable flop?
Stalley is focused on promoting his album by himself. Ross is promoting his album but cosigns everything mmg does.
Stalley already did Power 105 to promote his album but a true boss reps his team to the fullest so now you are talking about Stalley simply based off an interview of Rossss.
I’m glad Angie got a fat p@y raise. You couldn’t pay me enough to sit that close to this fat sweaty stinky piece of trash. My cousin told me he stinks of body odour, cheap liquor and chicken grease.
ROFL ROFL
Yeah some guy who resembled Ross in body size and looks sat next to me the other day.
I felt like giving him a lecture on deoderant and hygiene – but I thought he was old enough to know, and proceeded to move away lol.
Why do large black guys not take care of themselves. YUCK
Im glad the Ross fanatics can finally admit he is an character/actor just playing a part.”
I know what Ross does is a fictional tale aka slim shady. With that’s said, his music’s still dope. He won’t do a billion though. No rapper cna.
Only white weirdos think Ross is a character/actor playing a “kingpin”, everybody within the culture just sees him as a rapper spittin that dope boy shit. To us it’s street poems and rhymes but to you outsiders I guess it’s supposed to be a deathbed confession or some weird shit.
Thank God these weirdos didn’t grow up on Dr Dre and Ice Cube kicking gangsta shit or else these guppies would have believed Dre and Cube were serial killing sociopaths instead of rappers spitting street shit.
I applaud the mask tactics but you gonna have to do better
or just get your own style
donnis mac
ps. hop off the nuts
Ross’ music is trash and what he’s doing isn’t like Eminem and Slim Shady.
I dedicate and devote on average about 250 posts a week to my secret crush and the son of a bitch never responds. I wont give up but my heart grows heavy.
He’s currently worth $35 milli. Kanye, Wayne, TI, Drake, Nicki, Snoop, and people like that are worth MORE than him.
Why would Jay and Puff be thinking about someone that’s not even in the top 10? You’re not even have HALF of $100 milli and none of the artists on your roster (including you) go platinum unlike Jay, Puff, and Birdman.
Come back to reality man. You are doing well but don’t look that far up like it’s going to happen with your current hustle.
Stopped reading when the Geek mentioning Platinum….he even mentioned platinum in the same sentence with Birdman?!
You honestly don’t know what that man is worth, all you know is that Forbes said he made 40 mill from 2009-2014 and he did that without ever going “platinum” huh “dude”?
You geeks are so game goofy that you take slick talk verbatim and you take rap lyrics literal which is why you think Nas can turn himself into a roach and Eminem rapes lesbians.
Diddy and JayZ are are hustle-buddies with Rozay, rich niggas compete with each other because it keeps em sharp and aggressive about the money, all it takes is one lucky move or one shrewd move and you up there with the big boys.
…look how 50 and Dr Dre cashed out off Vitamin Water and Beats Headphones, you invest money on the right gamble and poof you up a hunnid mill or better like poof!
lol Birdman NEVER went platinum other than his jewelry. His albums straight TRASH
Bruthadee puttin in dat work, look at how much effort he puts into replying to “geeks”
nigga claimed to have stopped reading the comment but wrote a goddamn book as a response to the shit that he supposedly didnt read in the comment. busted
Hov and Diddy are at the very top with Dre, they have publishing catalogs worth millions alone, and you can say what you want but nobody has ever accused Dr Dre of bad business….cant say the same for those other two.
“nobody has ever accused Dr Dre of bad business..”
still got a whole basket of niggas he signed that never got off the shelf and who’s careers went nowhere after he held them up for years in the studio working on detox
“diddy showed me my 1st real bag of money” lmao nigga just exposed himself and his “boss” kingpin persona. if you slanging then youve had the shoebox of re-up gwap. if you slanging then youve seen rooms full of product from ur connex. if you slangin then you know bigger dawgs in the park and seen their bags of loot in the hundred thousands. nigga u lame.
you watch the WIRE to much pussy boy its CASSIDY LARSINY FAMILY. WE THE BEST
You get heated when I tell you that caucasoids are slow and strreet silly, Rozay say Diddy have him a Milli in a plastic bag and these Wannabees say that because of a rappers “persona” it means you are exposed….this is the exact reason why these niggas count multi millions and broke boys be on blogs with 100 to they ame trying to figure out the game.
stop caping for ya boy Ross, nigga went on interviews and said he REALLY MADE MILLIONS OFF COCAINE BEFORE RAP, now he saying he never saw a bag of money before rap LMAO
thanks!!! i thought i was the only one to notice
BEST BLACK ACTOR I HAVE EVER SEEN
SOMEONE GIVE HIM A AWARD
YOU SAD LONELY NERD STOP TRYING TO BAIT ME
whens the last time you saw Jay-z do an interview surrounded by cardboard cutouts of his artists and products? Ross is such a buffoon. Nigga ruining hip-hop.
The cardboard bellaire bottle is the corniest thing I’ve seen in a minute, and that says a lot about this nigga right here.
I cant remember the last time JayZ even did a radio interview, much respect to Hov for giving J Cole the keys to the Bently coupe.
Jay did an interview with Angie this year
I’m on the streets, you the police.
Officer Ricky takes it in the rear
Officer Ricky takes it in the rear 2
jay-zghostwritesdiddypomotesandlucasgetsthebread
So the features are R Kelly, K Michelle, Project Pat, Bobby Womack, T.I., and JayZ?

I wonder if Ol boy play Chess?
2009 – 6 mill
2010 – 5 mill
2011 – 6 mill
2012 – 9 mill
2013 – 6 mill
2014 – 7 mill
Ross was a moderately succesful rapper before he baited 50cent into a war. Before 2009 he never made the Forbes Cash Kings list or had any recognizable power within the industry to make you shiver.
Fast forward to 2014 and 40 million later and it looks like Ross and Khaled had a Masterplan that worked to perfection.
you said perfection….lmao!!
Perfection.
50cent made a video threatening Khaleds mother and saying he slashed Khaleds tires and I remember thinking WOW when did rap beef get so corny and pathetic. Rappers/Singers got behind Khaled and now he is on the Forbes rankings.
50cent Forbes:
2009 – 20 mill
2010 – 8 mill
2011 – 6 mill
2012 – 7 mill
2013 – 7 mill
2014 – 8 mill
War can be expensive and when you are not built like the big boys you wont remain at the top.
If Birdman, Diddy, JayZ and Dre woke up and discovered they made less than 10 millillon a year they would leap off a skyscraper.
holy shit the bruthadee the nerd boy took the time out of his day to research 6 years worth of forbes lists, and all it proved was how much of a Ross groupie she is
So even in his best year he makes a million less the 50?… Yeah I think you kinda ethered yourself.
2012 was so big because they dropped SMV2, Dreams and Nightmares, and GFID.
So Ross best year in the last 5 years was higher than 50s highest total in the last 5 years? Damn homie you a platinum rapper homie! We’re dey do dat at?
this dude he 50, on all levels..copy cat, biting ass nigga
50 is washed up ro the point that hes Independant and pushing his dates back.
you’re an ingornant fool calling 50 washed up…lmao! wow…haters really dont know the game…50 got so rich on everything, he’s Indie…all power is his….like Berry Gordy and Motown started out…hahahaha…new jacks in the game think their opinions matter the most….my comment is good as gold.
Berry Gordy had a talent for finding talent and putting together talent. 50 thinks Kid Kid is the next Rakim.
That’s good shit to hear about seeing your team eat.
this dude, believes in his own lies.
I’m
People always mention Diddy and Stunna and JayZ but Snoop has been up there with them his entire career go look at the lists.
definitely mos definitely not…
Gusto please cb4 motherfucker
Now that niggas is a real boss. Rozay put on his team and he gettin paper. niggas like curtis only worry bout they careers while not givin a fuck if they artist gettin money. Ross takes care of his people like a real boss does. Yall niggas can hate all ya want but you know that shit true.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe thats why his career fell off so bad
Gusto=officer ricky cb4 mgm all day baby
You got a long ways to catch up with Puff Daddy, that nucca is still eating off B.I.G.
rick ross got crab meats and chicken wings on his mind
That’s some flagrino shit to say
“I’m on a nigga’s mind” smh fuck outta here
I’ve been on Curtis’ mind ever since I made that nigga cry! 305, nigga!
Nigga Curtis is the one on Ross mind. Thats why he mentioned his name on the last album. Thats why he dissed him when he wouldn’t take a picture with him and sign his copy of GRODT
