By  Forbes   It has never been easier to become insta-famous, but for some celebrities, fame and fortune are perennial. Take Diddy: Nearly two decades after appearing on the cover of the first-ever Celebrity 100 issue, Diddy tops FORBES’ annual ranking of the highest-earning entertainers in the world, banking $130 million pretax in our 12-month scoring period. “I ain’t foolin’ around… I’m building assets,” Diddy claimed to FORBES back in 1999 . Turns out, he was right: The majority of his 2017 total comes from selling one-third of his Sean John clothing line for an estimated $70 million.

The imperative of zoning of political offices played a cruel one on his gubernatorial project. In 2014, after months of horse trading, his party, the PDP, bowed to the campaigners for the zoning of political offices. As a loyal party man, he respected the decision of the party to keep the peace. He was a front runner in the gubernatorial race.
