Since being arrested on September 16, Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently on trial in Manhattan federal court for sex trafficking, has reportedly made $4.1 million. According to The Sun, Combs is making millions by renting out his $60 million private jet to wealthy passengers who are unaware he is the owner.
The Sun reports that the aircraft, which has 14 seats and a range of 6,750 miles, is being rented by rental operator Silver Air. Silver Air, which runs the flights, describes itself as having a “comprehensive fleet of luxury aircraft.”
