She also gets to keep her breast implants and lip implants. That way she doesn’t have to retool for her next gold digging adventure.

She did, but she needed to go for the max deal after 10 good seasons. That is only about 2 years of Kobe’s salary. How do signing bonuses work in the new CBA again?

James Worthy had the right idea. Call up two $1500 a night “escorts” each night you roll into a new town. That’s about $500,000 a year on super-model caliber skank hoes. Do that over a 20-year career, and you spend $10 mil. Much cheaper than $75 mil.

And the sad thing is that he probably had all of those, minus the live-in brothel and models anyway. Meaning she really did do almost NOTHING.

If you are scoring at home that is roughly $20K for every single day they were married. Not counting all the money he spent on her during the marriage.

For that, he could have gotten his own private live-in brothel, multiple housekeepers, a couple au pairs, a world-class private chef, and a couple elite models to just stand and look pretty around the house.

BrownsTown is exactly right. I dont think at age 18 she set out with an 10 year plan to divorce him but i do believe after the Colorado thing she decided shed just ride it out until the 10 year plan to get the $.

These divorce laws are ridiculous she did what exactly to contribute to earning any of that money??? If someone has a real answer id love to know… Realistically she should get $5 million and one of the houses…these laws need to be changed.

If you want to be a cynic, whatever. I’m not gonna try and change your personality.

I will point out to you though that no where in the articles about this divorce has there been any mention that she is, in fact, going to be receiving any sort of monthly or annual payments to maintain her “standard of living.”

It sounds as if the assets have merely been divided up, and there’s now a clean break. So, your “timing” of this seems to be irrelevant.

Wait, wait… what ever happened to him being worth 360M, like when the divorce was first reported?

This is why you don’t get involved with 17-year-old models when you’re 21 and making bank.

david,

You’re really that damn cynical that you think Vanessa Bryant, when she was 18, hatched a 10 year plan to divorce Kobe when her “standard of living” could be maintained?

Give me a break.

No, but I am saying that once several years into that marriage, when a spouse then cheats on the other person, said other person might see the incentives in sticking it out for another 4-5 years. Sorry if that offends you, Gloria Allred, but the timing is a bit coincidental. So, yes, I am that damn cynical.

If you cheat on your wife, you lose the right to complain about how much money she gets in the divorce.

By: BrownsTown

BrownsTown — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:56:49 +0000

I just read another article citing California law that any marriage of 10+ years qualifies the spouse to maintain their “standard of living.” Wow, what are the odds that this marriage lasted exactly that long before she pulled the trigger? You could knock me over with a feather right now, I’m so shocked.

By: david8726

david8726 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:53:29 +0000

Why are you labeling her a “gold digger?” If she were a gold digger, chances are she would have divorced him a long time ago. That marriage lasted about 10 years – Not exactly typical of a “gold digger” marriage.

No one should feel bad for Kobe in this case. He’s the one who cheated on her in a Colorado hotel, and I highly doubt the cheating stopped then.

pl4tinum514 – You know whats even more F–ked up that this guy didnt serve Jail time for Raping a girl.As far as Im concerned he got whats coming to him. You Cheat and you pay the price when you get caught. She may be a Gold Digger but he gave her the shovel and a reason to dig.

Yeah, I agree. You’d think one mansion is enough for her but she needed three? Seriously?! She didn’t work to earn any of them. I don’t even like Kobe but I feel for him!

This country is so f–ked up. How the hell does a trophy wife get 75 million for being married to the dude who made all the money with (arguably) no help from her?

Just so wrong and retarded on every level imaginable.

She should hang out with Juanita and her $168M, make a tv show, “Wealthy Ex-wives Club” (or whatever u want to call it)
