How P Diddy Keeps Raking In Millions — Even Now

Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been locked up for months, but his black Gulfstream G550 has been busier than most of us. While he sits in custody, the jet has basically turned into a cash machine — and, yeah, a carbon machine too.

The jet hustle: what is flying and who is paying

Diddy’s 14-seat G550 is listed for charter on sites like Victor and Jettly and is being operated by Silver Air. Charter customers wouldn’t know they’re booking his plane — the aircraft is registered to LOVEAIR LLC, built in 2015, and typically lives at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles. A December 17, 2025 social post from Parrot Media flagged the jet’s listings and pegged the model around a $60 million price tag.

• Trips and revenue: Per The Sun, the plane flew 126 trips in the last eight months — while Diddy has been in custody — pulling in about $4.1 million.
• Utilization: It’s been rented almost every other day and has logged 149,540 miles since hitting charter platforms.
• Operator: Silver Air runs the aircraft for these charters.
• Sticker shock: One-way flights can run up to $100,000; The Sun cites $116,681 for Los Angeles to New York (about 4 hours and 21 minutes, before taxes and fees).
• Going long: A transatlantic hop to London’s Biggin Hill? The Sun lists $432,708 for roughly 9 hours and 42 minutes, add-ons not included.
• Emissions tab: Across those recent trips, the jet burned 136,665 gallons of fuel and produced an estimated 1,710 metric tons of CO2.

'This is a privilege... freedom of choice to fly in a private aircraft. That comes with a responsibility.'

That’s Victor CEO Clive Jackson explaining why private flyers get charged what they get charged, arguing part of the premium is meant to account for the pollution. Victor, by the way, caters to everyone from business leaders and entrepreneurs to A-listers and the ultra-wealthy — the exact crowd that will pay to avoid TSA and squeeze in meetings at 41,000 feet.

Meanwhile, in court

Here’s the twisty part: Diddy actually tried to use the plane to get out. He offered to put the jet up for sale as part of a $50 million bail package. Judge Arun Subramanian said no, so the plane kept flying — just without him.

The LA mansion side plot

On top of the jet maneuvering, there’s the house. As multiple lawsuits stacked up, Diddy reportedly listed his Holmby Hills mansion for $61.5 million about a week before his September 2024 arrest. It’s a 10-bedroom, 13-bath spread with a 35-seat movie theater, a grotto pool, a traditional pizza oven, a recording studio, and a spa. In May, the New York Post noted the property had sat on the market for 200 days despite all the bells and whistles.

The perception problem is real in that price bracket. Landmark Research Group’s Michael Tachovsky told Business Insider that buyers at this level like to brag about what they own, and Diddy’s current reputation doesn’t exactly help the sales pitch. One reported offer did surface: in November 2024, Belwood Investments founder Bo Belmont put in around $30 million (via Realtor). Diddy reportedly bought the mansion for $39 million, so you can guess how that went. It remains unsold.

Bottom line: while the legal saga drags on, the jet is earning like crazy, the emissions tally is ugly, and the mansion is stuck in limbo. Wild combination of commerce and controversy, even by celebrity standards. What would you do — take the charter money, dump the house at a discount, or both?
