Suddenly, Kobe Not as Rich as You Think

[ElNono]

contrary to news reports about Kobe Bryant's wealth -- the BBaller's net worth is approximately $150 million, according to sources in a direct position to know.

Sources intimately familiar with the situation tell us ... the $150 mil accounts for real estate holdings, stock, cash and other assets.

The figure is far less than news reports which set Kobe's fortune north of $400 million. But the $150 mil figure is the accurate one.

I always thought he was worth around 150mil

Welp, 75mil now

[ElNono]

Welp, 75mil now

That would be less than Duncan... :downspin:

[Spur_Fanatic]

Plus 90M Lakers will pay him for next 3 years, plus any money he gets from sponsors, stuff, etc...

The guy won't starve, no matter what (unless he is really stupid).

[mavs>spurs]

[Banzai]

Culburn, peddling his wares non stop, like a crass pop up ad on your computer "punch the monkey". If you ever mention "punch the monkey" Culby will pop in and claim he's a trend setter.

Cue... "bend over, I'll punch your fuckin' monkey"

[Giuseppe]

Uh, uh. You f'ers deserve this.

You ain't felt enough pain yet.

tee, hee.

[Spur_Fanatic]

You don't actually believe that, right?
That can you can actually troll someone with it, I mean.

Besides, will soon be 2.5 after the divorce... and we then would have to take the ones n which Shaq carried his hand... he may actually end up in the negative.

[baseline bum]

Does Vanessa have to split her ring with Kobe? Wouldn't it be

Vanessa 3.5
Shitbag 2.5

[Giuseppe]

Kobe: 5

tired old shit bag Duncan: 4

[024]

you mean kobe: 2.5?

[Giuseppe]

you mean kobe: 2.5?

Seriously guys, c'mon, you ain't, as a group gonna try and make this 2.5 thing your calling card, are you?

I had the decency to wait thru 4-3 & 4-4 Duncan until I got to solid ground at 5-4 Kobe before I let ya's have it.

I implore you one & all don't go down this 2.5 path.

Always,

[TDMVPDPOY]

his net worth sounds about right after taxes and shit...

unless he took a big hit in the GFC, and real estate/share portfolio...

most rich ppl would walk away from bad assets anyway if they cant keep up with payments, foreclosure of houses...

Curly, backing into a corner as fast as he can.

^I'm a trend setter.

I set trends.

[m>s]

kobe still givin interest-free loans to em young poor n!ggas?

[Giuseppe]

^Yep. That last one drove 'em over the edge.

Kobe went over Duncan.
Artest got straightened out.

It was total loss for them and they left the reservation, never to return in all probability.

[monosylab1k]

They had to create their own reality just to stay relevant.

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao :lmao:lmao

It doesn't get more pot meet kettle than that.

So you're saying he INVESTED EVERY DIME he's ever made? Didn't buy any, food, clothes, cars, and other DEPRECIATING assets? Please....

Millionaires have to live the millionaire lifestyle. Just because he's made more than $150 million doesn't mean he's worth more than that. You must not understand the concept of NET WORTH...

[Giuseppe]

...Who gives a shit...he got staggered at the top of the key & saw the light.

Next thing you know, I measured Duncan for a shit bag and put the 5-4 on ya's.

Just like that.

[DMX7]

& they can have the shit bag Duncan.

:lmao

Oh, you are so butthurt today (actually everyday, but especially today).

[Giuseppe]

Oh, you are so butthurt today (actually everyday, but especially today).

I got your shit bag down at 5-4 and I'm gonna pound that up your ass till the cows come home.

To those who keep saying Vanessa is entitled to "half".

California is NOT a "community property" state. She can take him for a lot more than half and he might have to pay out less than that.

Its gonna be juicy.

[pass1st]

Kobe should have written up a prenup with the stipulation that he's allowed to sleep with another woman if Vanessa passes the 150 pound mark.

She CAN take 40% of his NET INCOME every year until she dies though. It's seems kinda suspicious that she is filing right after their 10 year anniversary (when the 40% for LIFE rule kicks in). Like she had this planned since the day she found out about Eagle, CO.

[Man In Black]

As I recall, one of the gifts the alleged one bought her to get her to bring him back in the fold was a Lambo with a one of kind, custom built, Automatic transmission.
Apparently that one type of stick Vanessa doesn't do.

I don't think it'll be juicy. They're still in love. They've been in the trenches Shoulder-to-Shoulder. You never forget that...."Think about the days of you and me. Of me and you against the world."

They'll act like somebody.

Or that she can fuck Shannon Brown if Kobe goes 6-24 in the Finals.

You're the eternal optimist.

I heard the same about Tiger.

[Giuseppe]

She never had to get inside the wire with Tiger.

Vanessa didn't "have" to either. She took him by the hand and got their backs up against the wall at Eagle. And while he'll never forget her gesture it was not near enough to guarantee his fidelity. So every time he goes to LosAngelesBackPage and arranges his goodies, for a moment he'll harken back to that night she led him onto the dais and sat Shoulder-to-Shoulder.
