Given the mansion raids and the widening trafficking probe, many have now started to wonder how much Diddy is worth.
According to a report, his fortune is placed in a questionable light after it was "revealed" that the mogul has millions of debt to a bank.
Many think if he really has a fortune worth a billion as being reported by various sites, then it would not be possible for him to not pay off his loans.
Diddy Net Worth 2024
Rapper Diddy has long been regarded as one of the richest people in history.
According to current estimates, his wealth is projected to be at $1 billion.
'However, as early as in 2002, when Diddy was the CEO and creator of Bad Boy Entertainment, Fortune listed him as one of America's Richest 40 Under 40. His net worth was only $293.7 million at the time.
Since 1990, Diddy has been in the industry, starting out as an intern at Uptown Records in New York City.
Even though Diddy is unquestionably most known and celebrated for his work in music, he is credited with helping to find artists such as Usher, Mary J. Blige, and the Notorious B.I.G.
Music is by no means the main source of his fortune.
He also has some high-profile businesses and ventures.
Diddy Swarming in Bank Loans?
According to Daily Mail UK, Diddy has taken out eye-popping bank loans of $140 million to fuel his extravagant real estate venture, so it's uncertain if he is really worth $1 billion.
It might be the biggest home loan amount ever taken out by a Hollywood actor, as the 54-year-old has taken out numerous mortgages to pay for the purchase of three lavish properties in Miami and Los Angeles.
Homeland Security raided all three of their houses on Monday in response to a wave of accusations alleging sexual harassment and rape.
Agents searched the homes and took evidence in the form of boxes and bags.
The rapper, producer, and businessman still owes around $100 million, all of which must be repaid within the next five years, with the exception of a $23 million loan that must be resolved by 2029.
One need not go far to know the reason behind these hefty loans. The mansions that were recently raided need no explanation.
Moreover, with so many lawsuits against him in the last few years, others are surmising that his forture has been increasingly depleted.
Why is Diddy Spending so Much Money?
He spent $39 million in August 2014 for his Los Angeles home, which is situated in the posh Holmby Hills district. It has eight bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, and a swimming tunnel beneath the house that connects to a grotto.
It has two mortgages from Bank of America totaling $25.35 million, which were issued in May 2021 and 2014, respectively, and neither of which seems to have been repaid. August 2029 is when the former is fully repaid, while May 2036 is when the latter is due.
In addition, Diddy, purchased two adjacent opulent homes on Miami Beach's ultra-wealthy Star Island; these properties were also raided this week as part of the investigation into sex trafficking.
