Sean “Diddy” Combs rose to fame in the 1990s as the founder of Bad Boy Entertainment, shaping the sound of hip-hop with artists like The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans, and Mase. Over the decades, he expanded his empire into fashion, spirits, and television, becoming one of the most influential figures in music and business. But in 2025, Diddy’s legacy has been overshadowed by mounting legal troubles. Following multiple sexual abuse allegations and a federal sex trafficking investigation, the music mogul went to trial in May 2025 and was ultimately found guilty on two counts of Mann Act transportation to engage in prostitution.

With his sentencing scheduled for October 3, 2025, questions are growing about how his conviction could reshape his finances and business holdings. Learn where Diddy’s net worth and fortune stand now after his trial.

What Is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Net Worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Combs has an estimated net worth of $400 million. That number, however, may not remain stable. His conviction and ongoing legal battles have already caused damage to his reputation and business relationships, while the costs of his defense, which likely run into the millions, remain undisclosed. Several brands and partners have also begun cutting ties with the hip-hop mogul, raising further questions about the long-term future of his empire.

While in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, Diddy began teaching a voluntary class called Free Game With Diddy, where he shared business and life lessons with fellow inmates at no cost. His legal team has highlighted the program and even submitted letters from participants praising his mentorship as evidence of rehabilitation, though it remains unclear whether this will influence his sentencing.

How Did Diddy Make Money?

Being a record producer, music artist, a designer and an entrepreneur, Diddy was able to build his high net worth over time. After creating his record label, Bad Boy Entertainment, in the early 1990s, Combs was able to earn a hefty income over the years. His business was able to sign several well-known music artists, including Machine Gun Kelly and Janelle Monáe.

By the late 1990s, Bad Boy was reportedly worth about $100 million.

Why Is Diddy in Jail?

In 2023, multiple sexual abuse allegations surfaced against Diddy, including from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Though they settled their legal dispute by the end of the year, a shocking video resurfaced in mid-2024 of Combs dragging and beating Ventura in 2016 surveillance footage. Diddy posted an Instagram video admitting that he was “disgusted” with his behavior in the footage. However, Homeland Security had raided his two properties in Los Angeles and Miami due to accusations of sex trafficking. Federal agents discovered narcotics, 1,000 bottles of baby oil and various “freak off” supplies.

By September 2024, Combs was arrested in New York City and charged with three felony counts of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty and proposed a $50 million bail in order to be released from police custody. However, he is currently being held behind bars at MDC Brooklyn. Jury deliberations in his sex trafficking trial began at the end of June 2025 and concluded three days later in July.

Combs was found guilty of two lesser charges. He has remained behind bars at MDC Brooklyn since, with sentencing scheduled for October 3, 2025.
