If Diddy can throw parties that cost $500,000 or more is it out of line for him to buy his son a $360,000 car?

The parties are probably tax write off because he is meeting and greeting with business people. I suspect, if his son were working for him, he could probably write the car off his taxes as well. It's all relative.

If he makes several million a year, then this car is just the proverbial drop in the bucket for him. I thought the Chinese woman buying a pure bred newfoundland for $150,000 was a bit much too but again, I don't know her finances. She could make that back in a day for all I know.

I do think it is all relative. If I had the kind of money he does, then I might be able to make a better judgement call. As it stands, that amount of money combined might be the sum total of what I make in my life time let alone to blow on a party and a car, so it's like comparing apples to oranges.

I don't think it's out of line with his net worth, but it is out of line with the kid's age. Sean could have easily loaned his son his own Maybach so the kid would treat it with respect and understand that "this is dad's car, not mine". I think that would have been quite a bit more healthy.

While it won't get the same level of publicity, I'm hoping that Sean might also have done something a little more wise behind the scenes. For example, he could give his son a few hundred thousand dollars in a brokerage account and teach him to manage it.

At some point, no matter how much money a person has, buying a car for their kid is wrong. Kids need to grow up, work for it, and learn their own way in life.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
