Vanessa Bryant is best known as the wife of the late Kobe Bryant, a renowned Lakers and NBA legend. Their love story began when they met at a recording studio while Kobe was working on his first music album. Just six months after their initial meeting, they got engaged.
Vanessa was only 17, and Kobe was 21 when they first crossed paths. Their marriage faced disapproval from Kobe’s family and his agent, who chose not to attend the wedding, primarily due to Vanessa’s young age as she was still completing high school while Kobe was on the brink of NBA stardom.
Despite the skepticism, they built a beautiful life together, raising four daughters.
Vanessa Bryant’s Financial Standing
Following Kobe’s passing, Vanessa Bryant took charge of several of his business ventures, including leadership roles at the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, and she serves as CEO and president of Granity Studios.
Her net worth is estimated at $600 million, aligning with Kobe’s valued worth at the time of his death, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.
Vanessa successfully litigated against the Los Angeles Sheriff’s and Fire departments for unauthorized photos taken of her husband and daughter. Officials had circulated these images, which showcased their remains, among themselves.
