P.Diddy's soccer team
In the spirit of the 2010 World Cup,
P.Diddy, who earns approximately $35 million a year from his clothing, fragrance, restaurant, vodka and music extensions, is looking at buying a soccer team. “I’m always looking into different business ventures and it’s definitely one of my dreams one day to be a part of a sport franchise, especially a soccer team,” he said. “If the right situation comes my way and it’s appealing and we can make the right splash and most importantly build the right team and win… I’m into winning and if it’s the right situation then I’m open to it.”
The music mogul had considered buying the struggling English club Crystal Palace, but eventually decided it wasn’t worth his while. “There was somebody that had looked at it but the business of it just wasn’t the right business move for me at the time,” he added.
P.Diddy recently came under fire when he fired his assistant who wanted a break after working for three days straight. He explained: “He was like, ‘I’m tired, I can’t do it no more’. Instead of being compassionate, I said, ‘You know what rhymes with tired?’ That’s the savage in me. People were getting turned off by my success. It was all champagne, bad chicks, winning all the time. Who wants to see that?”
