Rick Ross does not reveal too much about his personal life. Sure, he always gives a surface level expository about how awesome he is is over banging beats, but rare is an insight into the mind of William Roberts outside of his superstar rap persona. Ross is years deep into his career, and it still feels like there's so much more to learn about the man behind the fame. After carefully combing through the lyrics of his new album God Forgives, I Don't, here are 10 things we learned about the Maybach Music MC.

He Has $50 Million In The Bank
Line: "50 M's in the bank. I get me 200, I'm gone." ("Ashamed")
A list released yesterday claims that Ross is actually worth $25 million. Either way, that's an impressive balance sheet, but like T. Boone Pickens says, making a billion is even harder.
He Got A BJ Before Having His Seizure
Line: "Get a blowjob, have a seizure on a Lear." ("Maybach Music IV")
How much would it suck (literally) if it turned out that getting dome caused seizures?
He Used To Pick Watermelons
Line: "I remember picking watermelons/Now the Porsche cost me a quarter million." ("911")
The context of this line makes it sound like he was picking watermelons in a field, as opposed to, say, the supermarket. We need a pre-rap memoir from this guy STAT.
His Toilet Costs $24,000
Line: "Fornicate in my fortress, 40K still my mortgage/24K my toilet, all my taxes reported." ("Hold Me Back")
Russell Simmons' solid gold toilet costs $11,000 more, though. #RickRossProblems
He Fired His Stylist
Line: "Fired the stylist, went and bought a big and tall." ("911")
And he still dresses like a boss.
He Made $2 Million Off Self Made Vol. 1
Line: "Made another two milli just off the compilation." ("So Sophisticated")
How much did Pill make?
He's Sleeping With Someone Famous
Line: "I got a bitch I’m fucking that you see on BET." ("So Sophisticated")
TMZ is working on identifying her as we speak.
He Has A Blackberry
Line: "Blackberry boss—one call, ya put to sleep." ("Pirates")
Rozay is famous for saying he sold dope straight off the iPhone, but now he's rocking with a Blackberry? Maybe he caught a check for spitting that line.
He Has Jewish Marble In His Home
Line: "Walking on Jewish marble, hand-painted the ceiling." ("Presidential")
It's all because of who he hangs out in saunas with.
He Gets $100,000 Per Feature
Line: "I think I'm a genius, hundred grand a fucking feature/I do at least three a week." ("Ten Jesus Pieces")
According to calculations, that mean Ross makes more money in a month than you will in a lifetime.
