Perhaps its a miracle the marriage lasted this long, given Kobe’s 2004 charges involving his extra-marital sex with a young woman.
She said he was a rapist, he said he was an adulterer. She later decided to not push the case in court.
But now that Vanessa Bryant has cited irreconcilable differences and filed for divorce, the question on everyone’s mind is: how much will she get from the Laker star and former MVP?
Not surprisingly, there are Kobe Bryant divorce odds and odds on who he will shack up with next available at online sportsbooks such as Bovada.
The smart money (at 2/1 odds) is that Kobe will pay out less than $50 million. That’s chump change compared with Tiger Woods and his estimated quarter-billion ‘out’ clause of his marriage.
There’s even a common thread between these two star athletes – Bovada lists Tiger’s former wife Elin Nordegren as a 50/1 longshot to become Kobe’s next girlfriend. We assume that is for comedic relief and not for actual wagering.
Still, there are odds, on the eve of the delayed NBA season, on whether Kobe will announce in 2012 that he is dating Jessica Burciaga or Carla DiBello.
