KOBE BRYANT IS the highest paid player in the NBA, and the third-highest earning player in league history.
He makes so much money that he can casually give a teammate a ride to a doctor’s appointment in his personal helicopter, like he did this week with Steve Blake.
Throughout his 17-year NBA career, Kobe has amassed a number of cars, toys, and houses, and he currently has $150 million in assets. He’s living the life — saying and doing whatever he wants in endlessly entertaining fashion.
He went to high school in the Philly suburbs but he grew up in Italy. He loves Italian cars
He walked into a Ferrari dealership last year and wrote a 329,000 dollar cheque for a 458 Italia
He also owns a Lamborghini, Bentley, and Range Rover
He owns three houses worth 18.8 million dollars. All of them are in Orange County, CA, a lengthy drive from the Staples Center
Luckily, he has a helicopter that he takes to home games. He says it saves him from sitting in traffic, and keeps his body fresh
He's pretty generous with his helicopter too. He let teammate Steve Blake use to it go to a doctor's appointment this week
Kobe is the third-highest paid NBA player ever, with 249 million dollars in career salary. He and his wife currently own 150 million in assets, according to reports
He also makes 28 million dollars a year off of endorsement deals with companies like Nike and Sprite
He bought his wife a $ 4 million ring after his sex scandal. It was an eight-karat purple diamond
He was reportedly set to lose 75 million dollars in a divorce last year. But he and his wife Vanessa are working things out
In recent years, Kobe has marched to the beat of his own drum.
He's gotten in on the NBA's outrageous fashion trend but keeps it classier than some
This summer he challenged Kyrie Irving to a 50,000 dollar game of one-on-one
He says he will only play two more years. He is due 30 million dollars next season, and could become the highest-earning NBA player ever if he outlasts Kevin Garnett
