Is Diddy’s Mansion in Danger From the LA Wildfires?
Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his 2024 arrest. Homeland Security raided two of his properties, one in Miami and the other in Los Angeles, in March 2024. Now, the LA fires could threaten Combs’ LA mansion. Here’s what to know.
Have the LA fires affected Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ mansion?
Sean “Diddy” Combs purchased his mansion in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of LA for $40 million in 2014. The 17,000-square-foot home features nine bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, a 35-seat movie theater, a wine room, a fitness studio, and a lagoon pool. Combs has an additional 3,000-square-foot structure he used as a guest home and a separate spa house containing a steam room, massage room, and beauty salon.
So, is Combs’ mansion in danger as the Southern California wildfires rip through LA neighborhoods? As of the time of publication, Combs’ house remains standing. While Combs’ mansion sits just a few miles east of Beverly Hills and near the Palisades fires, it hasn’t been negatively affected by the flames. Of course, this could change. Unfortunately, many other celebrities in the area haven’t been as lucky.
On Friday, Jan. 10, 2025, Combs’ son, Justin, posted resources on his Instagram Stories for residents affected by the fires. “Instead of only sending thoughts & prayers … Here’s how to help victims of the LA fires,” his Stories read.
The lack of damage to Combs’ estate has people talking. Catherine Austin Fitts, a former George H.W. Bush official, suggested a possible connection to Combs and the fires on her podcast, Financial Rebellion. “In situations like [the LA fires], I look at patterns,” Fittz said. “I look at some of the communities involved … how many of the homeowners were on the P. Diddy list?”
His home has an ‘ick factor,’ making it hard to sell, a real estate source says
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been trying to sell his LA mansion since September 2024. Unfortunately, the estate hasn’t garnered much interest. Real estate sources told TMZ in November 2024 that only a “few buyers” walked through the mansion for a viewing, and none had real interest in making an offer.
One source told the publication that the house has an undeniable “ick factor” following the allegations against Combs. Additionally, potential buyers are unhappy about the asking price of $61.5 million.
In September 2024, a source told In Touch Weekly that Combs was choosing to sell the property because of his legal fees.” Defending him against these serious charges is a huge undertaking, and it’s gotten very expensive,” the source alleged. “He will hate to part with it, but he has no other choice.”
