Kobe said, “I have three things. One of them is a Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone first edition signed by J. K. Rowling. If the house is burning, I’m grabbing that! Straight up, I’m grabbing that.”

He further added, “I have a Game of Thrones series signed to me by George R. R. Martin and I have the Dear Basketball score signed to me by John Williams. So, if something’s going around in the house, I’m grabbing those three things first.”

Where did Kobe Bryant live?

The 5 time NBA champion spent the majority of his life living in Orange County, an area located in Los Angeles. Although the trip to the Los Angeles Lakers training facility was inconvenient, Kobe decided to stay there.

He lived in a lavish home with his family located in Pelican Crest, Orange County, which gave a majestic view of the Pacific Ocean. Bryant’s estate is a custom-built 15,760-square-foot, four-story home with its own set of gates. 

Moreover, he developed his businesses in the same county. He announced the launch of Kobe Inc. in 2014, which was based in Newport Beach. His venture was started to develop brands that will help the sports industry, with the first major investment being BodyArmor.

Kobe’s investment in BodyArmor was highly successful as the initial $6 million invested grew to a whopping $200 million in 2018.
