Diddy's Desperate Measures: Music mogul rents out $60M private jet

As he faces serious legal challenges, Sean "Diddy" Combs has taken a surprising step to generate much-needed funds: offering his luxurious private jet for charter.

The hip-hop mogul, who remains in custody in New York awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, is reportedly looking to monetize his $60 million Gulfstream 550 by listing it on exclusive aviation platforms catering to Hollywood's elite.

The sleek, all-black Gulfstream, registered under Combs' company, Loveair LLC, is based at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles and can accommodate up to 14 passengers.

This luxury jet, built in 2015, is advertised on popular private jet platforms such as Victor and Jettly, which cater to affluent travelers seeking high-end flight experiences.

Potential renters, however, might be unaware that they are stepping aboard Diddy's own aircraft, as the listings do not disclose the owner's identity.

Victor, known as the "Uber of Private Jets," allows clients from business moguls to celebrities to book flights, promising the utmost in comfort and exclusivity.

Clive Jackson, Victor's CEO, emphasizes that their clientele has high expectations, and Diddy's Gulfstream, with its plush beige leather interiors and private suites, fits right in among the high-priced options.

Silver Air, the company operating Diddy's jet on behalf of his LLC, boasts a "comprehensive fleet of luxury aircraft" available for international destinations.

Pricing varies based on distance; for example, a round trip between Los Angeles and New York on the Gulfstream costs around $116,681 , while a transatlantic flight to London's Biggin Hill will set clients back nearly $432,000.

This isn't the only major asset Combs is attempting to cash in on.

Recently, he also listed his Beverly Hills mansion for $61.5 million, a clear indication of his urgency to cover mounting legal expenses.

His lawyers have filed a new motion for bail, citing similar cases where defendants were granted release despite facing serious charges.

If granted, Combs' bail could be one of the highest on record, with an offer to post a $50 million bond and agree to 24-hour surveillance.

As Combs' legal battles continue to unfold, his once-dominant presence in the entertainment industry has been overshadowed by court appearances and allegations.

His latest financial moves, such as the private jet charter, reflect his efforts to navigate mounting costs while he awaits trial on accusations that have significantly impacted his public and professional life.
