Like my nephew used to say when he was a toddler, “We share.” Well, in the same way, Kobe is having to share his self made fortune with the beautiful 31 years old Latina he married without his parents blessings and a prenuptial, Vanessa now that the happy times are over and they are getting a divorce.
It’s a huge pay day for her, since she gets half of his75 million fortune and only really only needs him to be a good co-parent to their two daughters, which we all know he definitely will be.
Considering she is a woman who married young after meeting Kobe on the set of a video shoot while still a high school student, and whose whole career has been being "Mrs. Bryant," I must say girlfriend made out like a bandit. She also gets three mansions in Newport Beach, one of which her mother already lives in.
I tell you, marrying the right guy at the right time while he still believes in the romantic notion of fairytale love and no prenup is like investing in or being part of a small company that becomes huge like Apple and being set for life.
Now she can do whatever she wants. She can stay in obscurity and be rich or she can choose to chase fame. There’s a difference between money and fame, and some people want one or the other or both based on their personalities. Time will tell which one she does.
The life she lives post Kobe, will let us all know if he has been restraining her from the life she really wanted to live all the years they were together. She is already a prime candidate for TV shows like Basket Ball Wives and Housewives of Beverly Hills. Either way we’ll all be watching her next moves as she looks to find her way and reinvents herself, however, I hope she has enough sense to invest in her Latina community to help move them forward.
