Diddy Earns $4.1M Renting Jet During Federal Sex Trafficking Trial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, currently on trial for federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, has generated approximately $4.1 million by renting out his $60 million Gulfstream G550 private jet since his arrest in September 2024. Managed by Silver Air and listed on luxury charter platforms like Jettly, the 14-seat jet has been chartered at least 126 times, covering nearly 150,000 miles and consuming over 136,000 gallons of fuel, resulting in significant carbon emissions. Clients renting the plane, which costs around $32,597 per trip, are generally unaware of its ownership by Combs, as the operator does not disclose this information. Combs had previously attempted to include the jet in a $50 million bail package, which was denied, and his legal defense has cost him millions, including the attempted sale of his $61.5 million mansion. While the trial continues with testimony and legal arguments, defense attorneys emphasize that prosecutors have yet to conclusively prove the existence of a criminal enterprise or the key charges against him. The jet rental business appears to be a major source of income for Combs during his incarceration.
