Default Diddy Buys Son $360,000 Maybach for 16th Birthday

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrityn...rthday-2010251



He's probably barely been behind the wheel yet and he's given a $360K car that he's more than likely to crash.

I hate when rich parents go and do stuff like this. It only makes the recipient less responsible for their own lives where they feel they deserve everything and don't have to work for it.

Yes he will be chauffeured its part of the deal. Daddy Diddy also gave him a birthday check for 10k and the kid was reported to have immediately donated the full amount to Wyclef's Haiti relief fund.

Not surpising. Did you guys really expect him to get a CPO 2008 Toyota Highlander?

At least he appreciates what's given to him. He does't seem to be the troubled-type either so nothing wrong with a really rich dad giving him an expensive car.

it's better than giving him a Koenigsegg. I'm sure FistforFast won't be happy with that.

OP I don't see a reason for the thumbs down and the negativity,it seems you simply don't like the situation because a 16 year old gets a 6 figure car. I'll go out on a limb and say you have a problem with wealthy <insert something> people.

oh man,,, he coulda had a LFA

Seriously I think its fine. Although I'm not sure even if I had the money I'd go that over the top like that for my son. Driving is a learned art, so I guess one could argue that he'll be very safe in that car if ever in the unfortunately scenario of being in an accident.
