Pull Out Your Divorce Calculators ::: Check How Much Vanessa Bryant May Get Via Kobe
The pending divorce settlement between Kobe and Vanessa Bryant has lots of people talking. The two, who were married for more than 10 years and had two children, did not sign a prenup. Under the California divorce law, after 10 years, the spouse is allowed to maintain her standard of living after the split. So the question is, how much can Vanessa expect?
Reports indicate that last year, Kobe Bryant earned a $24.8 million salary, plus his contract extension (signed last year) is worth $83.5 million. Last year, his endorsement deals brought in $53 million before taxes. Those, along with some other income sources, put his net worth at $150 million, which was the initial figured reported everywhere. So what does Vanessa get? Reports indicate that she stands to cop around a cool $75 million, half of what her soon-to-be-ex-huby’s worth. [LA Times Blog, ESPN]
