SEAN “Diddy” Combs has been raking in millions since being arrested on federal charges by renting out his lavish $60 million private jet to high-end travelers.

Combs’ Gulfstream plane has proven to be a lucrative side hustle for the disgraced music executive whose other businesses and revenue streams have evaporated since his high-profile arrest in September 2024.

The aircraft, equipped with 14 seats and a range of 6,750 miles, is being rented by the luxury rental operator Silver Air, The U.S. Sun has learned.

Silver Air, which operated the flights, advertises itself as a company with a “comprehensive fleet of luxury aircraft.”

The company is advertising the black-colored plane on celebrity charter broker sites such as Jettly, and wealthy customers have no clue it’s owned by the jailed Bad Boy Records owner, 55.

Since Combs’ arrest at a hotel in the Upper East Side of Manhattan last September, the disgraced music executive’s jet has been rented out at least 126 times up until May 20.

Records show the Gulfstream jet has been rented at least every other day.

The G550 has traveled a total of 149,540 miles – the equivalent of flying around the world six times – since being posted on the rental sites.

Each journey on average has lasted 1,186 miles, approximately the same aerial travel distance from Los Angeles to Dallas.

Customers looking to rent out Combs’ jet for a journey will have to cough up $32,597, according to the posting on Jettly.

Combs has since raked in approximately $4.1 million from the 126 trips in the last eight months.

The jailed music mogul offered to put his Gulfstream plane up for sale in a $50 million bail package he proposed to Judge Arun Subramanian, which was denied.

However, the mammoth cash injection for Combs has been hugely damaging to the environment.

All the trips combined have used up 136,665 gallons of fuel and spewed out 1,710 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

Combs’ 14-seater Gulfstream G550, which was built in 2015 and is registered to LOVEAIR LLC, is stationed at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles.

BAD BOY ON TRIAL

Combs, who is currently on trial at the US District Courthouse in Lower Manhattan, is facing a potential life sentence after being accused of running a decades-long sprawling sex trafficking operation.

Prosecutors allege Combs’ criminal acts have been kept under wraps in large part because of his extensive wealth and an inner circle of loyalists consisting of security and staff members.

The courtroom has heard gut-wrenching testimony from Combs’ former assistants, his ex-girlfriend of 11 years, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, and rapper Scott Mescudi, who is best known by his stage name Kid Cudi, among others.

Ventura, who is eight months pregnant when she took the stand, testified for four days about the horrific sex marathons she was allegedly forced into by Combs.

The singer, 38, also told jurors about the physical and psychological abuse she suffered during her relationship with the music executive.

On Thursday, Mescudi became the latest high-profile name to testify at the trial, which is slated to go for eight weeks.

Mescudi testified that Combs allegedly broke into his home and upset his dog by locking it in a bathroom in a jealous rage over his relationship with Ventura in December 2011.

The rapper, 41, also spoke about how weeks after Combs learned about his relationship with Ventura, his Porsche was set on fire on the driveway of his home in Los Angeles in January 2012.

The courtroom was shown evidence photos of the damage to Mescudi’s Porsche after the exotic car’s convertible roof was cut open and a Molotov cocktail was thrown inside.

The car bombing was also mentioned in Ventura’s lawsuit against Combs, which she filed in November 2023.

During Ventura and Mescudi’s testimony, they both confirmed that the Day ‘n’ Nite rapper and Combs met at a hotel in Los Angeles to discuss the relationship.

At one point during the conversation, Mescudi said he told Combs, “What about my car?, to which Combs replied, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Mescudi told prosecutors that he believed Combs was lying about his knowledge of the car bombing.

Combs and his defense team have denied his involvement in the alleged arson, and he has not been charged in connection with the incident.

The courtroom will return on May 27 for the start of week three of Combs’ trial.
