Kobe Bryant Has Recovered Very Well Since His Rape Case

Kobe Bryant has been commonly compared to Michael Jordan for his incredible basketball talent. Not only has Kobe garnered multiple championship rings, just like MJ, but he has also won scoring titles and a NBA most valuable award. Another way many people compare Kobe Bryant to the greatest basketball player of all time, is by how much money they make. Kobe Bryant is today´s version of Michael Jordan not just on the basketball court but outside of that as well.

Kobe Bryant is signed onto a six year seventy one million dollar deal with the Los Angeles Lakers and nets about thirty one million dollars a year including endorsements. Kobe´s reputation was strongly damaged after a nineteen year old girl claimed that he had sexually assaulted her in 2003. Kobe not only lost all of his endorsement deals at the time, he also lost a huge portion of his fans. However, since the unfortunate incident where all the charges were dropped, Kobe has rebounded very nicely and now has multiple endorsement deals again, most notably with Nike. While Kobe seems to have regained his reputation as a tremendous basketball player and person, he has been raking in the dollar bills as well.

Kobe Bryant makes enough money every year to be able to buy virtually anything he wants. After he was accused of raping the nineteen year old girl, he bought his wife Vanessa a four million dollar diamond ring as an apology. She graciously accepted. In addition to buying this ring for his wife, Kobe also bought a thirteen point five million dollar home for the two to live in. Kobe´s home is in a gated community in Orange County and ranks as one of the most expensive houses ever bought in that area. The nine point five acre property Kobe bought includes a sixteen thousand square foot main house and a two thousand square foot guest house. The main house includes ten bedrooms, thirteen and a half bathrooms, a theater, a game room, and a billiard room.

Kobe Bryant is quite possibly the best basketball player in the NBA today. He is currently in the second year of his seventy one million dollar contract. In addition to his contract, his endorsement deals pay him multiple millions every year as well. With all the money Kobe makes, he can afford to give his wife a a few more diamond rings.

Google pays Digital Point about $10,000 a month, depending on how many people view or click on those ads, according to Shawn D. Hogan, owner and CTO of Digital Point.

Digital Point Solutions is a software company in San Diego which publishes an online forum, forums.digitalpoint.com. The forum attracts about 15,000 users and much more visitors. Any forum member who starts a new forum discussion topic receives half of the advertising revenue paid to the site by Google for ads on the front page of that topic section. The discussion’s creator then splits his share with others who post messages. Google does not actually advertise on the Digital Point site. Through Google’s AdSense program, it places ads on the forum, similar to the ads that appear next to search results on Google. Google scans the text on the forum’s pages, then displays related ads. If the discussion is about computer hardware, for instance, ads for DVD drives might display.

Mr. Hogan said he started the revenue sharing approach in 2004 “as kind of a marketing gimmick.”

“But everyone seemed to think it was a cool idea,” he said. “I saw a lot of other sites doing the same thing maybe six months later.”

Shawn said it was difficult to say whether the financial incentives had made the forum’s participants more active, because its growth rate was about the same before and after it started paying users. Either way, the payoff is small.

“In the best case scenario, someone might make $50 a month, so they’re definitely not quitting their jobs to do this,” he said. “But it might be enough to buy a nice dinner.”

One concern, Shawn said, was whether the forum’s members would skew their postings to earn more money. For instance, since advertisers in some categories, like sexual performance drugs, pay much more to place their ads on Google and its affiliated sites, you might expect technology discussions to randomly veer in that direction.

“But that hasn’t happened, thankfully,” Shawn said. “Probably because there isn’t that much revenue in it for them.”

So Britney Spears has a new addition to her family. It was reported that Britney Spears picked up a Yorkie at a pet store in Bel Air and named it London.

A patron of Pets Of Bel Air, who was in the store at the time said, She [Britney] picked up the dog and loved it right away, she was incredibly nice and very pleasant.

Britney Spears did the same thing last December when she first saw a six-bedroom, six and a half-bath house in Beverly Hills. According to sources, Britney reportedly shelled out $7.2 million for the house and all of its furnishing right on the spot. Impulsive? No way! After one month she raised the asking price and put it on the market. Britney lowered the price because of lack of interest. Britney then took the estate off the market, while at Promises. Then she changed her mind once again and decided she doesn’t want it anymore. She put the house and all its furnishings on the market for $7.495 million. This property is not her only one in need of a buyer; the Malibu house she lived in with Kevin Federline is up for $11.9 million. So where is Britney living with her new puppy? It’s been rumored that she’s renting a new house in Bel Air.
