The rap mogul amassed a fortune over his lifetime in the business. And, if anyone earned the title of self-made, its Puffy. Heres everything we know about where Diddy's net worth came from, and just how much hes worth now.

Diddys first job had nothing to do with music.

Diddy has always been a hustler, even as a kid. "I started my business career at age 12, delivering newspapers," he wrote for 100 Greatest Business Minds. "I had a lot of elderly customers, so I would always put the newspaper in between the screen door and the door-that caring made me different, made me better than the last paperboy."

Though the job probably only made him a few bucks a week, the lessons he learned about customer service clearly paid off in the long run: If I give the customers my best and service them differently, whether music, clothing or vodka, I'll get a return on my hard work."

Diddy has a diversified financial portfolio.

In 1993, Sean Combs founded Bad Boy Records, where he signed artists like Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, 112, Ma$E, Usher, Machine Gun Kelly, and more. "It was a gamble," Combs told in 1995 about his label. "But whatever I do, I want it to be groundbreaking. I think of everything I do as history in the making." Though its unclear how much hes made from Bad Boy, we do know that several of his own records-which he made under the Bad Boy label-went platinum.

Diddy also amassed serious cash thanks to his clothing label Sean John, of which Global Brand Groups purchased a stake for in 2016. He also has a stake in the vodka brand Croc. This, Forbes reported, is where Diddy makes the bulk of his cash-somewhere in the "low-to-mid nine-figures, according to the outlet.

Diddy is one of the three richest rappers in the world.

Though Diddy was once the highest-earning rapper in the world, he has since fallen to second place-just behind his friend Jay-Z, and just ahead of his other friend, Dr. Dre. Forbes noted that these three arent just the wealthiest rappers in the planet, they are also the wealthiest entertainers. Period.

Diddy's net worth is an estimated $820 million today.
