Vanessa Bryant is a philanthropist who’s better known as the widow of the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant. After the tragic death of the Los Angeles Lakers legend and her daughter, Gianna-Maria Bryant, in a horrific helicopter crash in 2020, she renamed Mamba Sports Foundation to Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation and started to lead it.

So, how is Vanessa today, and how much net worth has she amassed?

The Career and Philanthropic Works of Vanessa Bryant

Vanessa and Kobe founded the VIVO Foundation in 2007 and later renamed it the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Foundation. The charity provides scholarships for minority college students and other youth worldwide and collaborated with Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The couple was also the founding donor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Sadly, the unexpected happened in 2020 when Kobe and their daughter Gianna-Maria died in a helicopter crash near Calabasas in California.

This led Vanessa to change the name of Mamba Sports Foundation to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation to honor her late child. The foundation aims to help poor child athletes.

She then launched a Mambacita line of clothing in 2021 in partnership with Dannijo, which proceeds go to the Mambacita Sports Foundation.

Vanessa, too, was the president and CEO of Granity Studios and worked with Baby2Baby to support women and kids in poverty.
