Is Diddy buying a $360,000 car for his son financially equal to most people buying their kid a Toyota?

Nope, it's not equal at all. Parents may spend 5-10% of their net worth or more getting their kid a new Toyota. This car is an insignificant fraction of Sean Combs' wealth.

This car is much less of a big deal to Sean financially than a Toyota to a normal parent. In our day and age, craftsmanship has almost died. Maybach is one of the few companies who still takes the time to do it right.

Even the AMG Mercedes cars have lost their custom touch. Also, Maybach isn't profitable from what I understand so I'm happy that they made the sale. I just wish Sean had waited until his son gets older.

It is ridiculous. There is no need for that type of money to be spent on a 16 year old's first car. There is so much good he could be doing with that much money.

What did that teach the child? There should be some reason used, and I don't see it being used here.

I'm a firm believer that just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I hate seeing wasteful actions and buying a car that cost more than a quarter of a million dollars is wasteful. I detest celebrities that spend money on lavish and unnecessary objects, just to show off their status.

I detest anyone for that matter that feels $360,000 should be spent on something like this. He could have bought a really nice Toyota. Or any other reasonable car...and done something worth while with that money, like invest in his son's future, or show him the wealth of helping others with it.It is not financially equal.

It's just plain stupid.

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.
