Sean Combs' LA Estate Lingers on Market After $61.5M Listing

Diddy's $61.5 million LA mansion languishes on market for 200 days without a buyer.

S
ean "Diddy" Combs' Los Angeles mansion has been on the market for over 200 days, listed at $61.5 million just a week before his arrest in September 2024. The 10-bedroom, 13-bathroom estate in Holmby Hills is unlikely to sell anytime soon due to its association with an accused sex trafficker.

    Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified that the house was not used for "freak offs," dayslong sex performances at the center of his trial. However, most homebuyers are put off by the property's connection to Combs, according to Michael Tachovsky, a real estate consultant who specializes in selling homes tainted by disasters.

    "When they buy a home at that price point, they like to brag about it," Tachovsky said. "P. Diddy's reputation, at the current time, really isn't a positive bragging point for a potential buyer." Two Los Angeles-area real estate agents declined to comment on Combs' property to avoid any association.

    Combs has denied all wrongdoing and argued that all sexual encounters were consensual. The defense also claims that any violence fell short of sex trafficking and that his accusers have a financial motive to implicate him. Despite this, the listing agent, Kurt Rappaport, did not return multiple requests for comment.

    The property's history dates back to 2014 when Combs purchased it for $39 million. The main house features European-inspired architecture with a formal dining room, wine cellar, and theater that fits 35 people. The grounds include an oversized statue of a woman, a swimming pool with a waterfall and grotto, and a basketball court.

    Other homes on the same street are asking similar prices, but Combs' mansion remains unsold due to its negative association. Real estate investor Steven "Bo" Belmon made a lowball offer of $30 million in November 2024, citing renovation potential as a draw. However, Tachovsky noted that notorious issues like the Diddy case can linger for some time and limit the pool of buyers.
