P. Diddy really knows how to live it up. The hip-hop star spared no expense, meaning he spent $3 million, when he celebrated his big 40th birthday with Jay-Z, Bono, Nelly and Denzel Washington at the Garden of Eden-themed bash he had at New York’s Plaza Hotel last Thursday.

P. Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, had invited 500 people to celebrate with him and treated them to gallons of champagne and Ciroc vodka, which is his own brand of the spirit, and a silver confetti drop.

There was also a private performance from the American gospel singer Al Green. P. Diddy, who is one of the richest hip-hop stars with an estimated net worth of $346 million, decorated the venue with a $30,000 orchid display, a black dance floor and a black chandelier. A source said: “He really pushed the boat out for this one -- and then some. It was an amazing party and Diddy was on great form.”
