Kobe Bryant has been around for a long time, so this makes sense. He is still the biggest NBA star on the planet, who is still actively playing.
So, you can’t be too surprised by this report.
According to a report from Wealth-X.com (via Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times), Kobe Bryant has the highest net worth in the NBA. The Black Mamba is estimated to be worth a whopping $220 million.
The next closest as you can imagine is LeBron James ($130 million), once Kobe retires LeBron’s reign will last for a very long time in the money department.
