"Congratulations, Mr. Bryant Bryant, you're now the owner of this house!" A real estate manager in a suit and leather shoes officially handed over the purchase contract to Bryant.

After Kobe asked the lawyer brought by Pelinka to notarize it, he was sure that there was no problem, so Kobe finally signed the contract.

From now on, Bryant has a property of his own.

For $960,000, Bryant bought the single-family home at 32 Berkedale Avenue.

This single-family villa is set against the backdrop of Dopanga State Park, with access to the park for a morning jog and a 5-minute drive from the beach. At the same time, there is a very professional sports gym Equinox Fitness on the seaside.

Born in New York, Equinox Fitness is arguably the biggest name in the gym world, with 24-hour hours of open hours for anyone like Kobe Bryant who could want to train at any time.

The membership fee is $300 and the monthly fee is $160. It's an astronomical sum in this day and age, and it's hard to imagine that such a gym would have survived if he hadn't opened it in Los Angeles and New York, which are full of wealthy people.

The new house was just finished in '95 and renovated in '96. Brand new furniture and finish, no one has ever lived in it. This is also a point that Kobe Bryant likes very much, if someone else has lived, even if the furniture and supporting decoration are renewed, there will always be awkwardness.

The total area of the building is 346 square meters, the land area is 1784 square meters, there are 3 parking spaces, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, basement, back garden, swimming pool, tennis court.

Very spacious, even with 5 kopecks.

"Damn, who's going to clean the house without Vanessa." Kobe Bryant realized the problem and couldn't help but miss Vanessa's virtuousness.

It seems that I have to ask for cleaning and cleaning regularly.

In addition to the purchase cost of 960,000 US dollars, Kobe Bryant will have to pay 667 US dollars in property tax, 235 US dollars in property fees, 134 US dollars in insurance premiums, and 161 US dollars in maintenance fees every month. There is an additional fee of $14,000 for the whole year.

That's enough money for half a year's expenses for an average American now. Keep in mind that many blue-collar workers have payslips of less than $2,000 a month. The gap between rich and poor in the United States is so large that the additional costs of housing are almost equal to more than half of the wages of blue-collar workers.

Fortunately, the house met Kobe's requirements in all aspects, and Kobe Bryant thought the money was worth it.

The first is that Bercade Avenue has a very high community safety index, with household incomes higher than the state's average household income of 146.3% and the national average household income of 183.94%. That's for sure, wouldn't have lived here without money.

84.5 per cent of the working staff in the community are white-collar workers, while only 15.5 per cent are blue-collar workers. This is very different from the situation where most families in the United States are blue-collar workers, and the high level of education also ensures that this area is safe.

Secondly, it is not too far from the Great Western Forum Arena and the Lakers Training Center, which can be reached within an hour by car. No more rushing by helicopter!

Wagon Wheel Elementary School is 0.51 km away, Las Flores Middle School is 3.98 km away and Tesoro High School is 2.47 km away.

Although Kobe Bryant is still far from having children, Kobe, a father who used to be the father of many children, is still very concerned about whether it is convenient to pick up and drop off children.

Outside the house is a large lawn, as well as parking. The interior decoration is very American-style, and the atmosphere is luxurious. The golden light is the main theme, and the white is the foil. The furniture is a very high-end brand, and the interior design and decoration are also in line with Kobe's taste.

There is a basement, a back garden, a swimming pool, and a tennis court. These things are still very important.

Bryant is going to turn the basement into a mini gym, or better yet, a shelter?

Forget it, build the shelter again in 2019. The destruction of the world is too early.

Then the tennis court was demolished in the backyard and built into a small basketball court.

Let's live!

Bryant is ready to move in, but Bryant intends to wait. Wait for the construction team to renovate the tennis court and basement before moving in.

"Good news! BOSS, the lawyer told me that with this home as a fixed property investment in Los Angeles, I can not pay state taxes. This can save about 500,000 US dollars, and there is no way to pay federal taxes and insurance, which adds up to 35%, which means that you still need to pay 1.4 million US dollars! It's a pity that we don't have our own charity, otherwise we could have saved a lot of money. "Pelinka Balabala said a lot, Kobe Bryant's head hurts a little.

"So I'm a poor bastard again?"

"No, Boss. After paying your taxes, you have $1.5 million left. ”

"That's a poor bastard, too."

"Uh, okay." Pelinka smiled wryly, most people in this era think that millionaires are a symbol of great wealth.

Damn the US federal government, it's a vampire! Kobe knew that he still had to deduct Pelinka's salary and Jeff's salary, and he had to buy a reliable car, and there was really not much money left.

Kobe Bryant knows a lot of ways to make money, and the easiest way is to invest in Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and other future companies in advance, and other future companies can easily reap dozens of times, or even hundreds of times the return.

But those rewards will not be until the Year of the Monkey! In 20 years, this million will become tens of millions, which is too anxious.

What can be gained in the short term?

Bryant ruled out spinach first, although he roughly remembered some league results. But as a professional athlete, Kobe Bryant doesn't plan to get involved in spinach, even in other sports.

"Haven't you had any endorsements lately?"

"Yes, JSB has offered a three-year contract of 2.1 million US dollars, and the armed country has issued a two-year contract of 1 million US dollars, and PLAYBOY invites you to participate in the filming and provide 100,000 US dollars ......"

"Shut up, Rob." Kobe Bryant's face darkened, it was all something and something.

"Okay boss, I know you're going to be angry, that's why I didn't tell you."

"Well, then what's the way to make money?"

"Maybe Kobe Bryant is making money as an agent?"

Bryant was amused.

Also, if Pelinka knew how to make good money, he wouldn't be a lawyer.

It seems that the only way to engage in the film and television industry is to engage in the film and television industry, and the film and television industry in the United States is very developed, and there are many movie theater chains. As long as the film is good, it will definitely make a lot of money!

Last year's Space Slam Dunk, a basketball-themed movie, grossed $230 million at the global box office, and Jordan became a household name through it.

Just take this opportunity to expand your influence and increase your popularity. By the way, if you look at the movie vision award, how much the human generation will increase.

After half a year, my life achievements have just risen to a level, which is too slow. Kobe Bryant was reluctant to continue to spend like this, especially the rewards given by the upgrade made him very excited.

Kobe Bryant remembers a lot of the plot of the movie, and he has filmed the Oscar-winning movie "Dear Basketball". But there is still a difference between an animated short film and a movie, and Kobe Bryant can't completely reproduce this short film now, and many of the stories in it haven't happened yet.

Then we can only learn from some popular movies, and we must also pay attention to the fact that the shooting cost cannot be too high, Kobe Bryant is confident that he can attract some sponsorship, but it can't be too much.

Low cost, high yield, and at the same time, the production must not be too complicated. Then you can only win with the plot.

Kobe Bryant thought about it and had a conclusion in his mind.

Make a ghost movie!
