Sean Combs has been hustling from an early age. At 12 he was hustling newspapers. In college he was hustling parties as a promoter before moving to New York for a job as an intern at Uptown records. When a position in the A&R department opened up, he convinced his boss to give him a go at it. After becoming to cocky at the post he was let go. He then started his own production company, Bad Boy Entertainment with encouragement from his former boss and others. His hustle hasn't stop from that point, he now owns a record label, men and womens clothing line, restaurants, ad agency etc. Next step will be billionaire status.

Fortune Magazine ranks him as the highest net worth entertainer on their 40 Richest Americans Under 40 list for 2004, with a net worth of $315 million. He has been on the list for 5 years.
