P. Diddy Gives 16-Year-Old Son $360k Maybach

Posted by Richard Head

Sean 'Diddy' CombsRAPPER P. Diddy bought his son a $360,000 car for his 16th birthday.

The music mogul and businessman — whose boy Justin, his child with high school sweetheart, designer Misa Hylton-Brim, recently reached the milestone age — splashed out on a Maybach sports car, which he presented at a star-studded party filmed for MTV show Super Sweet Sixteen.

Diddy surprised his son with the lavish purchase by parking the new car outside the trendy New York club M2 on Saturday night, where his son was celebrating with over 1,000 friends.

Guests at the red-carpet Prince of New York-themed party included Snoop Dogg, outspoken boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and Lil’ Kim.

There were also performances by Trey Songz, Chris Brown and Juelz Santana.

Diddy — real name Sean Combs – is happy to splash his cash when it comes to parties, and reportedly spent $3 million on his own 40th birthday bash last November.

He celebrated the day with Jay-Z, Bono, Nelly and Denzel Washington at a Garden of Eden-themed party at New York’s Plaza Hotel.

    That car can’t be a surprise. A surprise would have been a old truck. Hey, Diddy earned it and that I have utmost respect for his tenacious ability in business…but you don’t have to be bright to earn money…as here’s a guy that could not answer a simple question on celebrity Who wants to be a millionaire game show. Charlie Sheen had to tell him “atlantic ocean” Weird world we live in.

    • james

      so what you saying nobody should buy an expensive car… ur not making anysense

  • a Dark

    P Diddy,

    You are a “damn fool” for giving your child that car !!!!!
    When he kills himself in it or someone kills him for it, what then ?

    Soooo Sad,

    Father of two Drs and proud, period,

  • Naderge

    Who cares it’s his money! This dude have more money then he can count so why judge him on what he want to do with it….

  • Isheam

    I always say, if you got, why not enjoy it, at least its not drug money, its hard earned cash and why not treat his son anyone would want to treat their son by giving them the best

  • Jama

    Diddy is raising a future Paris Hilton. Yes, he has a right to spend his money the way he wants. Yes, he can buy his children what he wants for them. But, how can a 16 year old kid understand the value of a dollar when they are given a car worth over a quarter of a million dollars. Diddy gave him also a $10,000 check that Justin immediately donated to support for Haiti. Of course Justin will donate the money. He knows there is more where that came from. This is all publicity for Diddy. The party was shown on the reality TV show ‘Super Sweet Sixteen’.

  • Casey

    His son can’t crash it, he has his own personal driver! haha Good one though. Its completely ridiculous! Why would he need that?

  • Wynona

    I’m not jealous, but at a time when many people are struggling due to the economy, did they have to make this extravagance public?

  • Smart parent

    Why does he need a vehicle in NYC – they have the best transportation system anywhere – besides – the child/boy needs to get a job and understand what it takes to earn a buck – try Starbucks – McDonald’s – Local Grocery – Save the money for later in his life when he really needs it and has shown he understands – such as money for a house.

    PD your an idiot – its all about PD – showing the “dough” – what kind of lesson is that to teach your son??

  • Amy

    Why didn’t P diddy donate the 360,000 to the people of Haiti. Just shows that he doesnt care about the suffering in Haiti. If all the rich people could donate of their net worth and still have money left over to live. Where is P Diddy, Donald trump and many others donation. I am so tired of hearing about Paris Hilton getting a facial when she could donate that money to Haiti. It shows me that the celebrities who didnt donate dont care about human suffering. It makes me sick

  • J Hook

    I SEE HATERS! every one of you people would do the same thing if you had the cash. He gave his child a car for his sixteenth birthday. it happens all the time. the difference is that Diddy has the cash to spend on an up-grade. this has nothing to do with Haiti. These celebs donate all the time, under the radar. do you expect them to give all they have? would you? I know i wouldnt. I would definately help, but i wouldnt break the bank. work at McD’s? come on. the kids dad owns a multi-million dollar organization. would you work at a fast food restaurant? i sure as hell wouldnt. The value of a dollar? The kid probable know more about finances then any ten of you. His father is teaching him, so he can take over the conpany. As for the kid killing himself in the car; it one of the safest on the road. Bunch of HATERS!

  • Adam

    He’s an idiot for giving that car to his son.

  • cali

    Jerry Myers.. you say a fool and his money will soon part but check this out. I do agree he is too flashy with his money but Diddy will always have money, you can best believe that.

    It’s not like he just spends, spends and spends like Hammer..
    HE did have a nice heart.. but when he lost his money, no one knew him. when he did have money, everyone knew him.Not to be mean but he was fool but Diddy, Jay Z, etc, they own plenty of stuff out there.. they own a lot of artists, corporations, etc..they have money pouring in from all over the place..

    Diddy been making money since he was a kid so he has great business sense..These business sense rappers will always have money.

  • cali

    everyone is calling Diddy a fool but he makes more money in one day than most make in a year.. he makes more money in one month then most will make in their lifetime lol so he doesn’t sound much like a fool to me. HE may use bad judgement at times, no one is perfect but he is certainly far from being a damn fool lol

  • deathtoll

    Diddy is an inspiration to all. He is proof that you can be
    talentless and ugly and still become rich and famous!

  • LAXG

    In the words of the immortal Patrick Ewing. “We make alot of money, but we spend alot of money.” Diddy will always have money and thanks to the way he spends on his kid, so will: Auto Dealers, Strippers, Jewelers, Restaurants, Hotels, Strippers, Family Therapists, Strippers, and Plastic Surgeons. Diddy done more stimulus than Obama and I hope he never stops.

  • It’s not your money!

    This is to “smart parent” (Not). First of all. Do you actually think that P Diddy who is a famous producer and rapper of whom his best friend was shot and killed would allow his son to work at Mcdonald’s or Starbucks! I guess the security is suppose to stand there while he’s taking someone’s order????? Maybe you are not as smart as you think! I could understand if he were to allow him to be an intern for his company, but Mcdonald’s or something that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard yet! His child’s safety would be on the line, do you know how many people would attempt to rob him Smart Parent????
    Please think before you write and make yourself look very dumb.

  • Ashley Key

    1,000 friends???!!!

  • BlackHack21

    Who cares? Worry about your own finances and children. Then,maybe they’ll be a change in this ridiculous ‘thing’ we call life.

  • cssanangles

    this is why i don’t watch or buy diddy music/shows..rich kids do not appreciate the value of a dollar, there are a few exceptions. I like that Trump made his kids work for him and earn college degrees..yea DIDDY is overrated, his reality shows are nothing but people kissing his ass..

  • http://None Dugler

    I watched one of his reality shows. He is very arrogant and
    full of himself. I can see buying your kid a practical
    car for college but a 360k car is rediculous!!
    But I do agree he rolls big and stimulates the
    economy in the areas that he hangs.
    He is just raising spoiled brats! He isn’t a person
    I would respect.

  • Dre

    Why does anyone but Diddy care what he spent on HIS own child? The very people holding him up to scrutiny probably could not stand someone searching their closet for skeletons – Huge Dinosaur bones probably would fall out.
    All you parents who buy your teen’s motorcycles, skateboards and other dangerous toys might also be called a fool. You should ask yourself, is it the cost of the gift that bothers you, who it is that purchased the gift, or just plain old jealousy?

    If Diddy purchased a 4-year-old Chevy for his kid, you would have something to say about that too…WOW!

    I say give him grief for coming out with a bad musical group, give him grief for a bad video, but giving him grief for giving to his children uh boy you people have a lot to learn and while you’re at it you should also get a life!!!!

  • J_D_Rance

    So…let me get this straight. One man makes several hundred million dollars in his lifetime and has to a)Give it all to the Haitians and b)Not share his wealth with his immediate family. He’s supposed to just Scrooge McDuck it and swim in his money all by himself. If thats the case all of us Forty-Thousand Dollaraires should only be spending all our money on just ourselves. Screw buying groceries, taking the kids to movies, paying for college, etc!

    Please…Diddy is doing what any other person with wealth is doing! Whatever he desires!

    For all the people that happen to have Diddy’s bank statements in front of them, how bout you write a press release the next time you put money in the offering plate at church! Its his money! He can do whatever he wants and doesn’t owe any explanation or rationale to anyone! There is no telling where he spends his money…and trust me, sitting on top of a successful enterprise, I’m sure he’s got handlers that ensure he covers all his bases. Dude probably owns several foundations by now!

    At the end of the day, dude has come a long way in his career and has left his mark in this world! So people claim he’s arrogant…well I don’t like my mailman…but I still check my box everyday hoping for something good to come out of it!

    I’m done!

  • Cynthia Smith

    if he cant spend his money on his family who must he spend it on the HATERS out there get real and stop being jealous of the man. he earned it he can spend it how he see fits.

  • SeanF

    To all the folks that think the car is the problems here… it aint the point. Sean Combs could have bought a civic or a ferrari who cars. Here is my point….. the kids might be the heir and possibly draughted into the Pdiddy empire but what will he know of ethics or morals? Branson’s kids work for the Virgin empire and his daughter regularly flys econonmy class to find out how to improve the airlines way of business to understand what it is the people are getting. Previously she worked as a air hostess to understand how hard it is to be one. Granted… the kids have alot to learn but hey they will never know what passion or real satisfaction is because they will never have worked on anything. Useless individuals in a materialisitc world will not contribute at all. Thank goodness I dont listen to Sean’s music, pity he has the same name as I do… Oh well.

  • hremix

    Am dissapinted in Diddy,he bought his son a Maybach!I`d have bought him a copter or a jet instead ,so he could fly around with his friends.Much safer than traffic.So before you point fingers,ask yourself why you are still operating your account,tipping back that beer,when you havent put a dime into the Haiti Kitty,Looking at Diddy`s record (not the music) he doents just throw a party ro A list A listers for,its a decent way of getting someone to pledge something in style.
    Hey Diddy,next time get him a Jet .

    • james

      fully agree with ya

  • mcmurry

    don’t know what all the fuss is about from what i hear the kid is pretty slid. i mean he got like a $10000 cheque from his dad as a gift and he gave it straight away to the yele Haiti. i know i would never have done that. there is nothing wrong with me. i would have spent it and maybe give a tenth to Haiti. so please stop foaming at the mouth. smart parent your idea of working at MacDonald so stupid would probably rob the kid your self.

  • seancombs

    who gives a damn! it’s not like I’m getting me a ride when the little punk sees my ass at the bus stop anyway!

  • seancombs

    give him a pair of rollerskates for all I care!

  • http://showbizspy adrienne

    that kid is definitley going to be humble being when he’s grown. Sean, nice gesture, but couldn’t you thought of a more sensible gift? You are creating a monster. So, how’s the people in Haiti doin’?

    • james

      I fully agree. and to be honest who knows which charities hes giving too and not giving too… broke people talk this kinda talk, people with low hopes and know aspirations

  • inglewxxd rep

    i dont see the problem with givin his son this car he worked for everything he has he can afford to give his kids the best it’s no different from middle class parents giving their kids cars for a graduation gift it might not be as expensive but they still worked for it so before you go and say bs like he’s dumb for buyin the car and his kids are spoiled find a way to make his salery the legit way and dont give ya kids nu10 for their bday and to the ones sayin why he didnt give haiti as much you got to understand he’s not obligated to the ppl of haiti or any other charity

  • cali trash

    @ Amy
    diddy dont owe haiti or any other suffering person nothing he paid his dues he earned it the right way he got it so he can spend it if he choose to buy his son a $ 4million house he wouldnt be wrong if you had the money you’d do the same all this value of the dollar talk dont mean nothin when you got it but when your broke its a whole different story

  • http://yahoo.com butch lane

    what a disgrace. what father gives his son a $360,000.00 car? you mean he would not have been happy with a corvette ?? a cadilac ? or even a benz. what is pdiddy teaching his son? you dont have to work son, daddy will take care of you.with the way the world is he spends his money in this fashion. people, it is time to stop making this man richer?

  • jerry

    Mike Tyson was rolling in money also . Behind the cool shades lies the mind of a twelve year old. What a great example to all the kids that look up to this loser. Money comes and goes but character has no price.

  • jerry

    Giving that car was a selfish act—look at me, look at me. I am in no way jealous of Sean , all of his money is not enough to balance his inner problems and miserable existance. He may never learn what love is.

  • hate monkey

    He is low-class rich…

  • james

    The people complaining and talking about the fact the other countries suffering and that Justin should get a job, How do you know what the family does behind the scenes, If you have money theres nothing wrong with spending it. nothing selfish about spending money you’ve been blessed with as long as your able to help others. If you had money im sure you wouldn’t give it all to charity!!!!!

    Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to take note of. I say to you, I definitely get irked whilst people think about concerns that they just do not recognize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as smartly as outlined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , folks could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
