Kobe Bryant is the highest paid player in the NBA, taking in over $30 million this season.
His mother, Pamela didn’t quite make that much, but she did net a cool $450,000 auctioning off some of her son’s gear.
TMZ reported several of the items that sold were his 2000 Championship ring ($165,889.80), his 200 All Star ring ($52,854) and his used high school jersey ($48,048.15) in the auction that ended Friday.
In May, things got nasty when Kobe said his mom had no right to sell the items, as they weren’t hers. He claimed that she never game him a chance to recover the items before selling them and had his lawyer write to the auction company to pull the items from the block.
He tweeted: “When u give Give GIVE and they take Take TAKE at wat point do u draw a line in the sand? #hurtbeyondmeasure #gavemenowarning #love?”
Eventually, Bryant agreed to allow some of the items to be sold, and Pamela said she will use the money to purchase a house.
