Sean “Diddy” Combs<\/a> has offloaded his waterfront Star Island estate for $55 million while serving time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. The off-market deal, first reported by The Real Deal and later confirmed by TMZ, closed on July 14, 2026.<\/p>\n

The deal transferred the bayfront property at 1 Star Island Drive from Combs’ corporate entity, 1 West Star Island LLC, to buyer JFStar LLC. Combs walked away from the deal $20 million richer than what he first paid for the estate half a decade ago.<\/p>\n

JFStar LLC, a Newport News-based real estate holding company led by Virginia Beach executive John A. Franklin, acquired the property through an $18.5 million<\/a> mortgage from San Diego-based Axos Bank.<\/p>\n

Combs reportedly paid $35 million for the estate in 2021, when he purchased it from Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio Estefan, which was $20 million less than the $55 million the property eventually sold for.<\/p>\n

The Real Deal described the estate as sitting on a “1.3-acre bayfront lot with 240 feet of water frontage.” Originally constructed in 1940 and expanded in 1995, the nearly 8,000-square-foot<\/a> complex features a two-story main home, a guesthouse, a resort-style pool, a spa, and a private dock.<\/p>\n

The property that Franklin purchased at 1 Star Island Drive is not the same estate that federal agents raided<\/a> in March 2024. The raid targeted Combs’ separate neighboring property at 2 Star Island Drive, which Combs still owns.<\/p>\n

The two addresses are adjacent but legally distinct, and the July 2026 transaction involved only the former Estefan estate at 1 Star Island Drive.<\/p>\n
