Kobe Bryant: Baller and Businessman



I'm certain he, as well as you and I growing up, wouldn't have envisioned him making that kind of money. [That is based off a business decision].




The only thing during his early playing time I was thinking of was; putting up “numbers” on the court to get well deserved ‘numbers of the court” (contract/salary). I can't speak directly for him, but I would say in his early 20’s he wasn't focused on business decisions and investments quite the way that he has done/did in the later part of his career. And definitely forgive me if I'm wrong.

I'm excited that he made an excellent business decision. It says a lot about him in doing good research for a successful Financial gain.

While it is a shade under 30% of what he made during his playing career, however, considering he made the investment in 2014 at the age of 35 / 36, he received an excellent rate of return in 4 years.

Can you say baller and businessman?!!!
