Frustrated with the high fuel prices, Diddy took to YouTube last week and posted a video in which he tugged at our heartstrings, bemoaning the fact that having to fly his private jet back and forth to L.A. to pursue his acting career was too costly.
"As you know, I do own my own jet but I have been havin to fly back and forth to LA to pursue my acting career. Ok, now, if I’m flying back and forth, like, twice in a month that’s like 200,000, 250,000 round trip. F*ck that," he said.
You know times are tough when a man who was reportedly worth $346 million in 2006 is whining about how much it costs him to jet-set across the country.
But wait. Seems some folks have done some diggin' and have turned up some pretty interesting stuff - like the fact that Diddy doesn't even have a private jet. I was all set to start the crocodile tears a rollin' when...
From WWTDD, via TMZ:
Turns out P. doesn't even have his "own" private jet at all. An extensive look through federal aviation records by the Palm Beach Post turned up no Seans, Diddys, Combs, or Puffys as the registered owner. One source said, "I have a list of every plane with the name of the owner, and he's not on it."
For the record, says his rep, he's got a "fractional" ownership in a plane on NetJets, where you buy flight hours.
He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars and DOESN'T have a private jet? Pffft. What kind of huge, multi-million dollar, ego-driven star does he think he is?!
