 American Philanthropist Vanessa Bryant is also known as the widow NBA player Kobe Bryant. Vanessa Bryant is worth $600 million. In 2007, the couple created their own foundation that provides scholarships to students of minority backgrounds across the world. In addition to her other responsibilities, Bryant leads the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation and serves as the chief executive officer of Granity Studios.Kobe and Vanessa met while she was performing as a background dancer on an music video. At the time, she was just 17 years old. Kobe at the time, who was 21 years young, was in the studio to record his first musical album. After six months from their first encounter, they were married. Laine was still an incoming senior at high school at the time they got married. Kobe's parents and agent, along with his sisters, chose not to attend the wedding due to their inability to help the wedding. The wedding took place in Dana Point (California) at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church on the 18th of April 2001. As a result, Kobe did not speak to his parents for 2 years. Following the time that Vanessa had their first child in 2003, the ice had been broken.
