Rick Ross pulls off a triple entendre:
- Dodger Dogs are the highest selling hot dogs (aka franks) at any Major League Baseball stadium.
Wealthy Dodger’s owner and chairman Frank McCourt, bought the team for $430 million. That’s a lot of digits. (The Dodgers have since filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, which goes against the idea of being rich forever)

Maybach was a German car manufacturer that produces extremely expensive luxury vehicles. You would probably need a lot of money (“racks”) to buy just one, but Hov has so much money he can afford to buy multiple Maybachs.
The line is also an interpolation of Future’s hook on Yung Chris‘ 2011 hit single “Racks”:
