Imprisoned American rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has sold one of his luxury waterfront mansions on Miami’s exclusive Star Island for $55 million (approximately KSh7.1 billion).
The sale was completed through an off-market transaction while the music executive continues serving a 50-month federal prison sentence.
Mansion previously offered as bail collateral
The Star Island property was previously used as collateral in Diddy’s unsuccessful attempt to secure his release on bail.
According to reports, the rapper had fully paid off the remaining mortgage on the mansion before his 2024 arrest, allowing it to be offered as security for a proposed $50 million bond.
However, the court declined the bail application, and he remained in custody.
Luxury waterfront estate
Diddy purchased the waterfront estate in 2021.
The property features:
- Six bedrooms
- Eight-and-a-half bathrooms
- A swimming pool
- A spa
- A private dock
- A guest house
- Panoramic views of Biscayne Bay
The mansion is located on Star Island, one of Miami’s most exclusive residential neighborhoods known for its luxury waterfront homes.
Serving prison sentence
Diddy was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but was convicted on two federal counts of transporting individuals across state lines for the purpose of prostitution.
He is currently serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, while pursuing an appeal against both his conviction and sentence.
