Vanessa Bryant is entitled to half of every penny made by Kobe Bryant for the length of their marriage.
Vanessa Bryant, who filed for divorce Friday from Lakers star Kobe Bryant, is likely to receive a windfall in the couple's final settlement, which is expected sometime next year.Jacked from LA Times
Attorney Dmitry Gorin said that generally speaking, Vanessa Bryant would be due half of Kobe Bryant's net worth during their marriage and joint custody of their daughters.
She will also get considerable spousal support, like "more than enough for many lifetimes" Gorin said.
Though details of the settlement were not in the document, Vanessa Bryant's mother, Sofia Urbieta Laine, previously told a Times reporter that the couple had no prenuptial agreement. She told The Times in 2005 that the couple chose to forgo one after months of negotiations. The court filing Friday indicated that property rights were to be determined.
The Bryants are reported to be worth at least $150 million. Without a prenup, Gorin said Vanessa would be due about half that amount.
In the petition filed Friday, Vanessa Bryant cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. In what appears to be an effort to keep the details of their split out of the public eye, the couple said in a joint statement late Friday that they had "resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately."
But the final judgment dissolving their marriage will be entered sometime next year, representatives for the couple said.
Vanessa Bryant and her attorney had signed the petition Dec. 1, long before it was filed Friday. Her husband's response was signed Dec. 7. Both sides requested joint custody of their daughters Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5.

Mamma taught Vanessa very well. Vanessa has enough money to buy the high school she dropped out of.
Vanessa passed gold-digging 101 with an A+
Gossip Jacker I told you that Vanessa would divorce Kobe in ten years! Vanessa was being patient; waiting for the ten year mark. Forget HALF, Vanessa take ALL! That will teach dumb ass Kobe not to marry without a prenup! Vanessa is a hustler and Kobe is one stupid pro athlete! All you wannabe gold diggers take note; Vanessa has shown you the blueprint on how to get money!
Now that's how you do it!
The look on his face is priceless.
Kobe is cold hearted he don't give damn about Vanessa or the marriage, he is glad to be free, now he can date his real desired woman - blond and blue-eyed.
Vanessa is the one who will loose, although she will have half of his money, Vanessa will loose her status and just be another washed up uneducated and ignorant ex-wife. Vanessa, no more red carpet events, no more award shows and no more white house visits, once the divorce goes through you will no longer be revelent. Whereas Kobe could careless about the money (like Tiger) he is glad to be out the marriage. Kobe will still be popular, srewing every woman and rich. Vanessa will always wonder if men want to date and screw her for her millions. Afterall who wants to be like Shaunie and pay for a piece. Sad.

Yes indeed. The gold diggers hardly have education. Some black pro-athletics are stupid too. Kobe is a prime example. This fool even stopped talking to his parents. They told him to get a pre-nup. Everyone seen it coming!
I read somewhere she was a ho in training. This is proof. She waited 10 years. Her own step-father said she was taught well.
I'm quite sure years from now she will be in rehab for drug dependency/mental illness.
If you believe Kobe is worth only 150 mill yall are Nuts!!! She gets alot but he put 2/3 of his with overseas!
Vanessa better hope she don't make the same mistake as Robin Givens. She got millions from Tyson, now Ms. Givens is so broke, she owe the I.R.S. thousands of dollars. Vanessa needs to hire a financial advisor and invest her millions well.
All I'm gonna say is, don't encourage gold diggers. That shit is not cool, ladies.

Invest in what? That is how people lose their money quick!
The white man is the worlds greatest con-man!
Hey Kobe, if you are listening...a voodoo priest would be much cheaper!
his dumb a@@ should have married moesha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor Kobe, what the hell was he thinking marrying a "girl" from Garden Grove - the pits of Orange County! No matter how many millions or how pretty, she and her mother will always be less than...
Vanessa's parents are the ones who allowed that girl to get married straight out of high school; she walked across the stage and straight down the aisle. How Judge Judy say "Beauty fades but Dumb is FOREVER". Once those looks are gone Vanessa has nothing left. I sure hope that she sets a higher standard for her daughters and uses most of her money to put away for their COLLEGE expenses and BREAK the generational curse of being a gold digger!!
At least her mom's looked out for her, where was Kobe's mom and dad? SMH...
Anonymous @1:29 "Invest in what."
Invest in Gold Oil and Diamonds. That is the god that wealthy people worship. That is how they became rich. Something else she can invest her millions in is radio frequencies. Akon owns a diamond mine somewhere in Africa, that is why he is one of the richest people in music. Oh yeah he discovered Lady Gaga too.
Kobe is the one that cheated so why is everyone talking ish about Vanessa? She played her part. You never heard anything from her yet everyone is so quick to believe all the ish the other basketball wives talk. F&ck that! I don't blame Vanessa for not wanting to associate with them b*tches. Her focus was her man and her kids. He skipped out and cheated and now Vanessa did the right thing.....divorced his azz! She'll be just fine.
People talking ish about Vanessa because she is KNOWN for being a B I T C H!!! Why do you think NONE of the Laker wives liked her? NONE of them! Their former housekeeper is suing the Bryants because of her. Kobe was miserable in his marriage. His teammates tried talking him into divorcing HER for years!! He wouldn't because of the kids. He should have though. Some were even surprised that it was her that filed for divorce.
I'm not blaming Vanessa; I'm blaming Kobe! He got with a girl who was under eighteen, he married her without a prenup and he allowed her to divorce him after ten and a half years. Marriage is not about love, it's about business and Vanessa now has more money than most people who have MBAs! Not bad for a high school dropout!
i think thats why shaq ex came up with bbw. the wives say once u get divorced you are out the club no more nothing. all those fake people will start treating her like they never knew her....i bet she changes her mind if the divorce is not final.look what happened to dwayne wades wife she said she became a instant nobody once that divorce was final
He dodged a financial bullet when he allegedly raped that 19 year old Caucasian girl, this is simply Karma as I see it. Sort of like OJ being in jail now even though he got off for his real crime!
good 4 kobe
