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?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
