The third home which Kobe Bryant has now obtained title to himself was purchased in July of 2008 for $9.45million and now appears to be nearing completion after being under construction for the last three years.

In August, Vanessa hit back over claims she married the NBA mega star for the fame and money.

The mother-of-two was responding to a recent interview she gave to New York Magazine, in which she said: ‘I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships.’

But she later corrected herself: ‘I’m sad to hear that comments in my New York Magazine interview are being misconstrued and taken out of context. I have and will continue to support my husband’s dreams.’

Vanessa went on: ‘I have been with Kobe for 13 years. I accepted his marriage proposal prior to him winning any of his five championships with his teammates.

‘For anyone to think otherwise is wrong. It is not about being married to a ‘winner’ it is about our sacrifice as a family. ‘
