Rick Ross has accumulated a great deal of wealth over his career as a businessman and musician, and he is now giving back by setting others up for success.
From June 25–26, Rozay will host the inaugural “Push It To The Limit: Luxury And Lifestyle” auction in partnership with the Creative Collective NYC and the Boss Up Grant. With 800 of his personal items up for sale, all proceeds will be donated to aid “entrepreneurs with grants to accelerate their continued impact, business initiatives and scale their operations.”

“I looked around one day and marveled at how blessed I am,” the Miami native said about the drive. “I wanted to figure out how to be a blessing to others and share some of the dopest, rarest luxuries with the world that I’ve collected over the course of my career.
“Inspired by my brother Pharrell, I thought of an auction with the proceeds to help the next generation of bosses. It was the most player and sustainable way to not only touch my fans but also pour into a community that has poured into me.”
In addition to designer clothing items, art pieces, RIAA plaques and a custom-made piano that features the cover art of Michael Jackson‘s Thriller, the Teflon Don MC will also be listing 300 pairs of sneakers from his extensive collection. This will include Air Jordan Retro 5 “University of Michigan Fab 5” PEs, DJ Khaled “Father of Asahd” Air Jordans and Virgil Abloh Off-White collaborations.
Julien’s Auctions will be conducting the sale in Los Angeles later this month.
As for his other business ventures, Ross recently revealed that he is in the process of obtaining a license to open his very own zoo.
“When you’re in the presence of a boss, this is what you gotta realize,” he said in a social-media post earlier this month. “And you may be just like my homie standing here, saying that he cannot believe that I’m going to have two elephants that I can take care of and nurture. That’s why I’ve already filed for my zoo license.

“Yeah. And it take time, but guess what I’m buying right now? Two giraffes! And you’re gonna have to climb up somewhere real tall to feed them things, you heard? I’ve already got it planned out. So when Eddie Murphy get ready to film Coming to America 3 at the promised land, I’m gonna provide them animals.”
