Sean 'Diddy' Combs has completed the sale of his waterfront estate on Miami's Star Island for $55 million, unloading the property from behind bars. The off-market transaction moves one of the embattled music mogul's most valuable real estate assets out of his hands as he awaits trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
"unloaded one of his crown jewel properties"
The estate, located at 1 West Star Island, was purchased by JFStar LLC, a Newport News-based entity led by John A. Franklin, according to property records obtained by Hot 97. The sale was facilitated through Combs' 1 West Star Island LLC, closing a chapter on a home that had drawn intense scrutiny.
"closing a property chapter tied to his sex trafficking case"
The mansion was raided by the FBI two years ago in connection with the investigation that ultimately led to Combs' indictment, OK Magazine reported. Prosecutors had pointed to the property during failed bail hearings, arguing it played a role in the alleged criminal enterprise. The sale comes months after Combs offloaded his private jet, marking a significant liquidation of assets while he remains in federal custody.
