‘That Lil A– Tank’: Rick Ross Fans Aren’t Impressed with His New ‘$1 Million Fish Tank’

Rapper Rick Ross reportedly is making some renovations to his luxury home, including a million-dollar fish tank. The 46-year-old noted the hefty price tag for the new aquarium as he gave a mini tour in a video captured from his Instagram story of the room holding the tank; that’s according to 2cool2blog.

In the short clip, Ross showed off a room with visible blue tape and construction flooring paper. “Yo, have you ever seen a million-dollar fish tank?” said Ross. “You will in a few weeks.”

The Grammy Award-nominated rapper often shares fun videos with his fans, giving a glimpse into his lifestyle on social media. The entrepreneur reportedly owns a ranch in South Florida as well as a home in Fayetteville, Georgia, a suburb of metropolitan Atlanta. Ross recently shared a post on Twitter with an elaborate gold champagne cork shaped like a firearm. Ross captioned the post, “Say hello to my little friend.”

He also turned to Instagram to show off a table made from a 757 airplane engine.

“I just had my table delivered, been waiting on this a long time. Guess what I did? This is my amazing brunch area,” said Ross. “I bought a motor from a 757 airliner. That’s right. An airplane. A 757 airliner. Had the blades polished, had the lights inserted. I can change the lights any color I want to. Had the tabletop, the top glass cut. This is custom. This is a Ricky Rozay customization. … And this brunch area is just for enjoying the finest spirits.”

While many people loved seeing Ross sharing his lavish lifestyle, others were not so impressed.

“Your talking about a Fishtank? Feed a million children. Help families that are starving in 3rd world countries. I’m so tired of these bragging rappers.”

Another fan noted the surprisingly small size of the elaborate fish tank. “That lil a– tank for 1 Mill?”

“Stop it Ricky,” wrote another. Another follower chimed in with, “Tank worth maybe 5 grand.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
