Rick Ross Likes To Cut His Own Lawn To Save Himself $1 Million A Year

The lavish estate - which Ross added 87 acres to in 2019 - includes a 350,000-gallon swimming pool and a dining room that seats 100.

However, with all that luxury also comes a lot of responsibility, as Ross found out when he moved to the area, having heard from locals that Holyfield reportedly spent more than $1m annually to keep the lights on and the grass cut on the 235-acre estate.

"So I decided that I was gonna cut my own grass. And that's what I did.

"I went down to John Deere and asked to see the biggest tractor, the most efficient tractor. I told them I had 200-plus acres that I wanted to keep cut, and they pointed out the right tractor.

"I bought it right then and there. I bought the extended attachment on the back that would cut even wider. Once I got it back home, I filled it up with gas.

"I may have sat in the same spot for two hours before I got everything working, but once I got it going, I didn't stop. I cut grass for about five hours."

Ross explained that sitting in his air-conditioned tractor, which also has a radio and tinted windows, brings him a 'whole other level of peace', and helps him connect with the estate and its wildlife.

He continued: "I sit there and have my cannabis rolled up, and, man, I look at the property and can appreciate my struggles and my triumphs, those rough days. It's the smallest thing, but it keeps a smile on my face.

"So, you know, for anybody who doesn't cut their own grass, I would say take time out every two or three months to cut your grass because it is such a great and peaceful sensation."
