‘GOAT in Everything’: Vanessa Bryant Congratulates Late Husband Kobe Bryant for Accomplishment With BodyArmor

Plenty has been said and revealed about the late Kobe Bryant, after his horrific death in a helicopter crash last year along with his daughter Gianna and seven others. However, most of it has been about his greatness as an NBA player. And now it’s time that everyone appreciates what the Lakers legend pulled off the court as well. More than anyone else, his wife Vanessa Bryant still is, who couldn’t help but congratulate him on Instagram for his most recent accomplishment in the business world.

Kobe Bryant makes his family millions with one smart investment

Kobe Bryant might be gone, but the legacy that he left behind will continue to take care of his family for years to come. Of course, it is his aura on the court that people miss, but fans need to remember him for his smart business dealings as well. Unlike most NBA stars, he saw success in almost every field that he invested in, which now includes his benefits from a sports drink.

In 2014, the Lakers legend decided to show his faith in a sports drink called BodyArmor by investing in it. Kobe bought around 10% of the drink, which was valued at $6 million. As luck would have it, the company decided to sell to Coca-Cola at an $8 billion valuation. This led to the Bryant family earning around $400M, thanks to this investment.
