Rapper Rick Ross bought former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield’s Georgia estate for $5.8 million in 2014. The property, near Fayetteville, had a 45,000-square-foot mansion with 109 rooms, 12 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms, according to Architectural Digest.

The rapper had been familiar with the property for years before he bought it. He had purchased a nearby house after moving to Georgia and said he used to drive past Holyfield’s home regularly.“I looked at every curve and every up and downhill on the lawn. I was looking at the geese as I rolled by.
