    Rozay sat down with Forbes for a recent interview where he spoke on how his lavish lifestyle is aided by being frugal at times, whether that’s taking commercial flights or cutting his own Georgia estate’s 235 acres worth of grass with his heavy-duty John Deere tractor.

    “I bought a tractor that is enclosed and has air conditioning and a radio. I had the windows tinted so I wouldn’t cause too much confusion with the traffic right next to the estate.

    “People still know it’s me, but when I get in the tractor, it’s a whole other level of peace, a whole other level of connecting with the estate and the animals and the birds and the wildlife.”



    “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,” Ross continued. “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.”

    In all seriousness...good for him for being financial literate and saving money even with the amount of financial success he has had....more times than not these rappers we admire...end up being broke or back to square one....

    I’m sure some of us end up having more money and financial longevity in our lifetime with normal lifestyles and income/savings than some of these rappers that blow their money quick time lol

    someone needs to make a doc on broke rappers lol I know they did a broke athletes doc..l.

    For us it's normal but for a celebrity who has a net worth of 40 million and lives in a mansion it's actually quite surprising. Rich folks usually hire people to do that.

    235 acres is pretty big.

    Mowing a lawn really isn't work... it's therapy.

    Waka for example is living off reality shows and s--- like that. He probably also made investments.

    Especially the one hit wonders.

    Rappers like Young Joc or Mims probably spent what they made from their one big hit in the same year.

    I wonder what some of these popular rappers from the early 2000s are making today compared to their heyday. Like Ja Rule or Nelly.

    Does Ja Rule even make 150K a year now? That's a great salary for most of us but it's chump change compared to the millions they were making.

    He must make peanuts in royalties.
