It has been more than three years since Kobe's death, and since then, his wife Vanessa has attracted global attention, on the one hand, she will raise several daughters alone, on the other hand, because Vanessa is only 41 years old this year, everyone is also very interested in her future marriage plans, but more importantly, after Vanessa lost Kobe and her second daughter Gianna at the same time, her weight skyrocketed to 200 pounds in a short period of time due to excessive sadness
At the beginning, for Kobe Bryant's lawsuit with Los Angeles County was also painstaking, and finally won the lawsuit more than 2 years later, and was awarded $16 million, then more than 3 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Vanessa has gradually come out of the haze of losing her husband and second daughter, and has successfully lost weight and said goodbye to 200 pounds
Recently, Vanessa attended the unveiling ceremony of the renovation of Wilson Park, Wilson Park adopted a design with the theme of Kobe and Gianna in the renovation, and Vanessa, who has not appeared for a long time, also attended the ceremony, and NBA player Trae Young was by her side
Although the 41-year-old Vanessa still looks haggard from her face, but now from the perspective of her figure, it is clear that she has lost weight successfully, no longer the 200-pound weight she attended the lawsuit before, and the fans are also happy to see that Vanessa can put her life on track and is getting better and better
Kobe died on January 26, 2020, Vanessa, who was already in grief, also suffered an unbearable thing at that time, it turned out that at the first time of Kobe's death, several officers of the Los Angeles County police officers who went out to the police secretly took photos of Kobe's body, but what was more excessive was that these police officers shared photos with other people in the bar and boasted about the scene in public during a subsequent bar party, which was quickly exposed by the bartender at the bar, so secretly took photos of the scene and circulated them privately , which made Vanessa completely angry and went to court along with Los Angeles County!
The official continued for more than two years due to the difficulty of obtaining evidence, coupled with the angry Vanessa's desire to get huge compensation, and finally in August 2022, the court ruled that Los Angeles County would pay Vanessa $16 million and another plaintiff (the family of the victims) $15 million, and then Vanessa announced that she was not for compensation at all, but for her husband and second daughter, and immediately announced that she would donate all the compensation to the Mamba Sports Foundation
Then it was also a few court appearances during that time, Vanessa, who was only 1.6 meters tall, was seriously blessed, and her weight skyrocketed to 200 pounds, in fact, there is a reason, according to Vanessa's friends, after the death of Kobe and Gianna, Vanessa almost collapsed, and even friends revealed that she may suffer from depression, often using overeating to alleviate her bad mood, so Vanessa's weight has skyrocketed, in fact, it is both understanding and distressed, many friends hope that Vanessa can get out of the haze as soon as possible and get life back on track, After all, there are still daughters to raise at home
Bryant's unexpected death also allowed Vanessa and her daughters to inherit an inheritance of about $2 billion, plus three mansions in the United States, why can only Vanessa and her daughters inherit the inheritance, but Kobe's parents do not? This comes from California law, because Kobe Bryant did not make a will before his death, so according to California local law, all of Kobe's inheritance ($2 billion + all real estate, luxury cars, etc.) will be inherited by his wife Vanessa and the remaining three daughters 50% each, then Kobe's parents and sister have no points
In addition, Bryant's legacy is strictly more than that, the investment industry he left behind has skyrocketed several times in the past 3 years, such as autobiographies, sports drink companies, Mamba College and major venture capitals, etc., then among the three properties he left behind, the highest market value is the luxury house in Los Angeles, where Vanessa now lives, the value has soared to more than $20 million, and the other two are located in Lisitz and Newport Beach, California, all three are shared by Vanessa and her three daughters
However, just after Vanessa previously won the lawsuit with Los Angeles County, she began to sell her property on a large scale, of which a large number of luxury cars left by Kobe Bryant were the main objects of sale, but at that time, in the eyes of many fans, Vanessa may be on the one hand out of not wanting to touch the scene, and on the other hand, Kobe Bryant's collection of luxury cars is too much, and it will also produce a lot of maintenance costs every year, and Vanessa herself does not use so many cars, so she chose to sell part of the property, but another part of the fans believe, Vanessa may be trying to get her life back on track, make new friends and start anew
Although it is not known when the 41-year-old Vanessa will remarry, at least so far, her eldest daughter Natalia is already in love, now 20 years old, 1.8 meters tall Natalia in addition to being a college student at the University of Southern California, is also a signed model of the famous modeling agency IMG, because it is Kobe's daughter, Natalia has always been around suitors
Then in the middle of 2022, Natalia was exposed by the media to date a white man, and it can be seen from the photos posted that the man is about the same age as Natalia, according to American media reports, the man has a good family, it can be said that he is in charge of Vanessa's family, and Vanessa herself is very satisfied with her daughter's boyfriend, because when Vanessa was 19 years old, she was married to Kobe, and Natalia turned 20 this year
