Yet another example of being in the spotlight, which in turn is possible revenue for him.....more power to him!

Well I guess maybe I should apologize for my earlier smart a$$ comment about Puff Diddly. I didn't realize he was such a renaissance man and all around swell guy. | ||

P. Diddy Plans to Raise $1 Million in NY Marathon Run 2 hours, 37 minutes ago NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combs on Tuesday announced he will run the New York marathon and unveiled plans to raise $1 million for health-care and education charities that benefit the city's children. "Every child needs quality education and health care to train for the marathon of life," Combs said, sporting a track suit at a press conference at a Nike store. The money will be divided among New York city public schools, the Children's Hope Foundation, which supports families affected by HIV (news - web sites) and AIDS (news - web sites), and Combs's own charity, Daddy's House Social Programs. | ||

Wow. I didn't know all of these things about him. I feel bad for calling him a jackoff now. But I still think that wearing your sunglasses at night while driving is stupid no matter who you are. My 2 cents. | ||

This si sort of a tangent but I was watching Austin Powers 3. When Dr Evil climbs a ladder to catch Goldmember Austin chases Dr E & accidently pulls down his pants. Dr E had E DIDDY tatooed on his buttocks  LOL | ||

Some people look at buying a Ferrari as a rediculous expenditure. If he makes the money and can afford, he can spend whatever he wants, on whatever he wants. I certainly would. All the spending he does, he will always make substantially more than he spends. | ||

I could care less how much money he has..The way he and other celebrities blow their money is just insane, maybe they can afford blowing $100k every week but they sure as hell arent smart if they spend like that. By the way, I think everyone's trying rip the celebrities off, $15k for a haircut (j. lo), couple hundred grand of dollars for a damn party? Thats some bull crap | ||

His money won't run out, he bought up the licesnsing and rights to , more or less, every song that anyone in the rap/hip-hop scene would want to sample; if you want to sample a groove, diddy gets the royalties... at least that's the word around the campfire, these days. | ||

Very smart guy. When I was in college I used to do car detailing and he was one of my clients. Met him many times and also went to some of his amazing parties out here in the hamptons. Everyone from rappers to Chevy Chase and Regis was there. Also went to his offices a few times to discuss with some of his people about doing some online stuff. Incredible offices he had and they offered to fly us back in their helicopter. Doubt he will run out of money from what he has. His home out here only cost him 2.5 mil. which is nothing for a person with his wealth. def. doesn't spend without concern. I would have to say i'm impressed by him due to his work ethic and he worked for it! Also when he started working for a record company for free he was taking a 4 hour train ride to work everyday. Would have to say i'm impressed. | ||

Has anyone seen the E! Special "It's good to be.." OMG- there is a reason they subtitled it "the king of bling"- I give him his credit for being innovative and not trying to stick to just rap music to make money. | ||

As stated previously, he has a clothing line, which alone generates a lot of money. His record company is doing great. If you only knew how hard he worked to get to where he was at, your views of him would be different. Let me break it down quickly. - He walked into a record company, talked to an employer (CEO?) and said, I want to work for you for free. Employer says "Sure, you can start by cleaning that car over there"... and he does so. Basically, he did janitorial type jobs. - A producer leave the company, leaving an empty spot. Sean Combs (Puffy) convinces his boss that he can do the job. He is given a chance. During all this, he founded many, now famous, hip hop music artists and produced many hits. He is instantly a big man in the company. Because he was too full of himself (if you want to call it that), or has a big status over this company, he got fired. - Upset, Puffy is lost and doesn't know what to do. He calls his previous employer and begs for his job back. He was declined. A few days later, he decides to check his answering machine. 8 different record companies call him, he chooses Arista. - Arista's CEO believed Puffy should have his own company and he is given one. Bad Boy Records is borned. His artists include Notorious BIG, Junior Mafia, Faith Evans, Mase, etc... He later starts producing music of his own. - He owns a club in NYC, Club Justin (named after his son) and some restaurants. He also starts his clothing line. Now how many of you will go out to a company and say I will work for you for free. His ambition and perserverance got him to where he is now. His money was not simply given to him, he worked hard for it. As far as him saying Ferrari is a 220 mph car, he obviously isn't car crazy. He knows what cars are nice, but doesn't really know capabilities. But that doesn't make him full of himself. He isn't the, "hey media, follow me everywhere" type like Jennifer Lopez. He prefers to stay quiet in the background. Talking about business, he wants to buy the NY Knicks. It isn't for sale, but he REALLY wants it. He states that he talked to banks already and can get it done. Personally, I feel like the Knicks management need to fire everybody and start with a young team. | ||

He is worth megamillions, and his money will never dissappear. He has his hands in everything from clothing to record labels to restaurants. On some show they said his next goal was to have a billion dollar company and take it public. I think they put his worth at 400+ million as of now. In some interviews ive seen with him, he seems to be a very personable and intelligent guy. | ||

From what I understand he is very smart with anything he does business wise. He researches, things to the max,when ever he makes anykind of investment. But I have also heard he can be a real ballwasher at times. But I guess he can | ||

Allan's right. I have met him twice, and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Not only is he a very nice guy, but he also has a real sense of business acumen. I do not think, William, that his money will just disappear. He's too smart for that. --Dan | ||

I'm sure it sounds a lot more impressive than the truth to people who don't know any better. And, yes, I do think that he is full of himself. I saw him driving the same car at about 3 AM one morning in Manhattan and he had his sunglasses on. What a jackoff! | ||

The speedometer terminates at 220MPH. He probably assumed that the car will go that fast. | ||

Just saw him on Riding With Funk Masta Flex... P. Diddy says that his 360 Spider is a 220mph car... The car is totally stock...What's up with that. |
