One can hardly presume that Rick Ross has any complaints about the affluence his profession has afforded him, regardless of whether the lifestyle he raps about living is made up or true. The rapper from Mississippi has a lavish lifestyle, as seen by his expensive car collection and one of the largest mansions in Georgia (like those owned by other rappers 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, and Offset). The CEO of Maybach Music Group (MMG) is known for his taste in expensive cars and sprawling mansions. Ross is the undisputed king of ostentation, as seen by his many expensive watches and his penchant for wearing gold chains, pendants, and diamond rings. Take a look at some of Rick Ross’ most opulent jewelry items.

Rap, in case you’re not familiar with the genre, was built on ostentatious display and a competitive drive to outdo one’s rivals, be it in terms of lyrical prowess, flow, the quality of one’s women, the cost of one’s jewelry, or the lavishness of one’s lifestyle. The Jesus piece chain, first popular by Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah in 1995, is a must-have accessory for any rapper. Since then, many of hip-hop’s biggest stars—including Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Yeezy, and P. Diddy—have been spotted wearing the chain. But Ross reportedly went all out with a gigantic 30-karat gold necklace covered in diamonds, strung from an 18-karat gold chain, and costing an estimated $2 million, as reported by LAIE Jewelry.
