Capri Kobe Bryant is the youngest daughter of the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant and model Vanessa Bryant. She has three older sisters, Natalia (born 2003), Gianna (2006–2020), and Bianka (born 2016). Capri Bryant is the granddaughter of Joe Bryant and great-niece of John “Chubby” Cox.
What Happened to His Father, Kobe Bryant?
It’s been two years since NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others died in a fiery crash when their helicopter fell into a Southern California hillside.
On Jan. 26, 2020, the group of nine was traveling to a youth basketball tournament when their helicopter crashed into the steep hillside in the dense morning fog just outside Los Angeles, prompting an outpouring of shock and grief from around the world.
Aboard the plane was: Bryant, 41, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna; John Altobelli, 56, his wife Keri Altobelli, 46, their daughter and teammate of Gianna’s Alyssa Altobelli, 14; Christina Mauser, 38; Sarah Chester, 45, her daughter and teammate of Gianna’s Payton Chester, 13; and pilot Ara Zobayan, 50.
The tragedy shook Los Angeles, sending crowds into the streets to together mourn the Lakers hero, whose image appeared in the artwork on roads across the city’s neighborhoods.
Who is Kobe Byrant?
He was widely considered one of the greatest NBA players of all time. Bryant played his entire 20-year career with the Lakers. He won five NBA Championships, famously winning three championships alongside Shaquille O’Neal.
He was the Laker’s all-time leading scorer and two-time Olympic goal medalist. Bryant made the NBA All-Star team 18 times and received the MVP award four times before his retirement in 2016.
Bryant is the only player in NBA history to have two jersey numbers retired from the same team, and Bryant changed numbers from 8 to 24, halfway through his career.
Bryant coined the “Black Mamba” and became known for his hardworking mindset – the Mamba mentality.
Bryant lived in Orange County, just south of Los Angeles, and regularly traveled by helicopter to avoid the city’s infamous traffic.
He traveled to practices and games by helicopter before his playing career ended. He continued to use them after retirement as he attended his new ventures, which included a burgeoning entertainment company that produced an Academy Award-winning animated short film.
Since his retirement, Bryant had been a vocal booster of women’s sports, coaching and mentoring basketball players around the world while also backing women’s soccer and other endeavors. Before his death, Bryant had helped coach Gianna’s eighth-grade club team at his Mamba Sports Academy.
Bryant married Vanessa Bryant in 2001. The pair had four daughters: Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri.
There were periods of separation between the pair. In 2003, Bryant was arrested for a Colorado sexual assault after a hotel worker accused him of rape. Bryant denied assaulting the worker but admitted to having consensual sex with her. The case was dropped when the woman refused to testify against Bryant.
Gianna, better known as Gigi, had a promising youth basketball career and a competitive pugnaciousness that reminded everybody of her dad. Coined the “Mambacita,” Gigi was expected to continue her father’s basketball legacy.
Capri was left out of Kobe Bryant’s 600 million dollar estate
Kobe Bryant’s 7-month old daughter, Capri, was left out of his estimated 600 million dollar estate.
In January, the tragic deaths of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, caught us all by surprise. Soon after, very little was known about Kobe’s estate planning strategies to protect and preserve his estimated $600 million estates for his wife, Vanessa, and the three surviving daughters.
There wasn’t much, if any, media attention about his estate. As an Estate Planning attorney, that means Kobe had a great estate plan – everything was kept private, not tied up in court, and his family maintained their quality of life during this transition period his plan worked. Then I heard about Capri being left out of his estate plan.
What did Kobe leave to his wife, Vanessa?
Since Kobe had Trust, its contents remain private, but based on the summary of the Trust and the Probate Court documents, here’s what we know.
