Meanwhile, TMZ are reporting that Kobe is worth much less than the $400 million that was being suggested in some quarters, with his net worth instead being around $150 million.
Still a small fortune, but with a divorce settlement looming, every dollar will count as Kobe prepares to negotiate spousal and child support.
Vanessa Bryant's wife filed for divorce from her NBA superstar husband citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
Vanessa, 29 , who stuck by Kobe, 33, after he was charged with sexually assaulting a Colorado woman in 2003, has been married to the LA Lakers player for ten years.

The couple have no pre-nuptial agreement, according to TMZ, so Vanessa will be entitled to substantial monies and has requested spousal support.
It is said that Kobe has already moved out of the mansion in Orange County that the couple once shared.
According to TMZ, Kobe purchased the abode ten years ago, but Vanessa will get the home as part of the couple's divorce settlement.
The pair met when she was just 18, when she was working as a backing dancer in a studio where he was recording, though that material was never released to the public.
According to the legal documents obtained by TMZ, Vanessa is asking for joint custody of their two daughters - eight-year-old Natalia and five-year-old Gianna.
But Vanessa is asking that Kobe get visitation rights, which means she wants the kids in her care most of the time.
Vanessa is being represented by Laura Wasser and attorney Samantha Klein, whose clients include Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Maria Shriver and Kim Kardashian.
