Fresh on the heels of winning his second NBA title, Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant and his bride Vanessa were in escrow to buy a home near LA for $13.5 million.
The Hot Property section of the Los Angeles Times newspaper reported that the Bryant home in a gated, Orange County community (just south of Los Angeles) is one of the highest amounts ever paid in that upscale area.
UPDATE: August 1, 2013
Kobe Bryant has recently listed the mansion with ReMax’s Jordan Cohen for $8.6 million.
