Diddy Does Vodka

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Spirits

Don't call Sean "Diddy" Combs a celebrity endorser. He prefers the term "luxury brand builder" and his latest endeavor involves some high-end vodka. He has just signed a multiyear deal to develop Diageo PLC's superpremium Ciroc vodka. And he isn't just putting his name behind the bottle. Combs plans to be very involved in all aspects of the development, focusing on attracting the "movers and shakers" of the vodka drinking world. "They're looking for something that tastes like their lifestyle," he said. "It's that trendsetter, that hipster, someone who's looking for luxury and looking for something better." If all goes well, Comb's 50-50 share of the profits could ultimately net him more than $100 million.

What's in a Name?

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

A rose by any other name would still be a rose, but if you called it Elvis, you could certainly charge a lot more for it. Celebrity names and images have a lot of selling power because they provide instant recognizability; they are their own brands. Business Week determined the worth of the names of 13 celebrities. Two on the list have sold the rights to their names almost entirely, three are deceased, but still making a large amount of money annually, and the rest of the people are still building up their price tags.

Muhammad Ali - $63 million, sold in April of this year
George Foreman - $137.5 million, sold in 1999
Albert Einstein - $1 million annually
Marilyn Monroe - $1.25 million annually
Paris Hilton $15 million annually
Tiger Woods - $21 million annually
P Diddy - $22 million annually
Michael Jordon - $25 million annually
Jennifer Lopez - $35 million annually
Elvis Presley - $40 million annually
Elizabeth Taylor - $50 million annually
Donald Trump - $280 million annually

Diddy Fails To Capture The Hearts of Upscale Ladies

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

It was announced today that Sean "Diddy" Combs is discontinuing his pricey women's line "Sean by Sean Combs." Meanwhile, he has announced that he will manufacture, with G-III Apparel, a new line "Sean John Women's" which is aimed at a younger woman with shallower pockets. It seems to me that Diddy has always tried to straddle two worlds, the luxury and the more mainstream. This seems to have worked for his menswear but selling to women is a totally different game.
