Vanessa Bryant Awarded Three Mansions And $75M In Kobe Divorce

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (4)

UPDATE-Vanessa Bryant may have intentionally remained in a loveless marriage to Kobe Bryant after she considered divorce four years ago, but it turned out that a measly four years of misery equaled to three mansions and $75 million. Not a bad deal, right?

Vanessa Bryant was awarded all three of Kobe’s Newport Beach mansions PLUS $75 million of his estimated $150 million net worth in the property settlement of their divorce. See pictures of the mansions below.

According to TMZ the settlement agreement has been signed and Vanessa now has full ownership of the mansion the couple once shared, the home her mother lives in and the new estate that was under construction for two years and just finished being built.

It was previously believed Vanessa would walk away with only two mansions and Kobe would keep the unfinished home, however in the end, Vanessa took all three. After announcing their shocking divorce last year, the Los Angeles Lakers star insisted he was more than prepared to offer Vanessa whatever she needed to make it an amicable process. There were rumors Kobe wanted to reconcile for the sake of their two daughters but after new rumors emerged with Vanessa accusing Kobe of sleeping with over 105 women – the reconciliation was shelved for good.

Vanessa Lynne Bryant securely holds the mantle for how to score a big win in a Hollywood divorce. As news of the divorce settlement sink in – the debate rages on whether Vanessa deserved half of Kobe’s net worth plus the three mansions. What do you think?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
