It would be funny, but not likely. Needs a partner to help him afford it. Who would want to own a football team with P Diddy? I wonder if he even realizes their QB is an actual black man.

Like all rappers, he doesn't have near the money to be in the top 10 of potential buyers. Maybe he can own 4% like Michael Jordan or Derek Jeter do, but he needs real big boy money to buy the panthers and "diddy" doesn't have that. The fools on twitter claiming he is "worth" 850 million dollars is laughable. People don't buy music anymore- they stream it for 9.99 a month or steal it from youtube and Diddy gets pennies of that. He might be able to weasel his way into 5% ownership stake with some group- maybe.

Yeah, I have never understood the claims that he is super rich. People don’t buy music and I don’t think he puts on massive arena shows like Lady Gaga or U2 or Metallica.

Maybe he owns parts of lots of other artists?

team is worth 2.3 billion with a B, he could not even work concessions for them

LOL. The same analysts that put the $2.3B (with a B, in case anyone can't figure that out) value on the Panthers, are the same ones that estimate that P Diddy is worth $800M+. He could certainly be a part owner of the team, but he would have to stroke a $600-700M check to be the majority owner. That seems unlikely.

On a side note, based on your post, I think we should all be taking a look at concessions jobs at BofA stadium, apparently it pays well.

I have read he is worth $800M as well, but I don’t get how that is true. That is waaaaayyyy more than Mick Jagger who has had a 50 year career at the top. It would put him up their with Paul McCarthy. What am I missing?

Not a p diddy fan at all, but doesn’t he purportedly have his hands in a lot of stuff. Alcohol, record labels, other rappers, I don’t know.

I bet he has a lot more money than, say, D. Jeter. (#2 in our playbooks, but #1 in our hearts).

I think Dré would have a better shot, wouldn't he? I know HE has amassed some wealth.

Beats by Dré.... sold to Apple for $3 billion.

Yes Dre has money, and I'm sure a lot of it. But he also "opted out" of his contract with murderous gang felon Suge Knight.. So I'm guessing a good portion (all) of his royalties from the Death Row days still go to Suge and then some. So the beats deal - if that is all Dre's is his fortune.

Yep, he had/has his own record label, and production company. The Sean John clothing company is huge. He has something to do with Ciroc vodka. He's into tons of stuff.

Forbes says Dre owned about 25%, so he got about $750M, or about $500M after taxes.

Didn't he try to buy the Nets with Master P years ago? When they were worth 1/200th of what the panthers are worth? Like I said, he could pull a Jordan and be called the "owner" while owning less than 10% of the team..same with Magic Johnson and the Dodgers.

Jay Z, Puff Daddy, and Dr. Dre are the $800 million club of net worth. 4th on the list is in at under $200 million. Notice all of these guys started record labels and never signed a deal with a record label. And then they all hit even bigger with various side deals, Beats by Dre, Sean John clothing line and Jay Z with a little bit of everything.

Is that counting the cash Jay Z has stashed under his dog house from selling heroin and crack to kids? That could bump his number up a bit.

This is like Jay Z being touted as the owner of the Nets. Sitting courtside, acting like he mattered. He had a $1mil investment, less than 1.5% stake.
Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.

Sure, any drug money he likely made helped fund the record company he started.
