Diddy blew $3 million dollars on his birthday party. Diddy is never one to skimp on anything, let alone a party for himself! And 40 only comes around once, so do it up in a big way. A really big way if you are Diddy.

Has Diddy ever done anything quietly or cheaply? Nope. His big birthday wasn’t going to be the first either. From the NY Post:

Sean “Diddy” Combs spent a whopping $3 million on his champagne-flooded 40th-birthday party at the Plaza for 500 guests. He created a fantasy Garden of Eden-themed room with a $30,000 orchid display, installed his own black dance floor and black chandelier and treated guests — including Jay-Z, Bono, Nelly, Martha Stewart, Christy Turlington, Zac Posen, Kim Kardashian and Denzel Washington — to a silver confetti-drop, courtesy of lighting wizard Bentley Meeker, and a performance by Al Green. Security was tight and even Tyrese Gibson and “Twilight’s” Kellan Lutz had to talk their way into the VIP area.

If you could go all out like Diddy did on your birthday, what would you get? Ponies? Celebrities? Imported food? What do you think Martha gave him for a gift?
