Today's lesson in why prenups are a good idea for sports stars: Kobe Bryant's soon-to-be-ex-wife Vanessa scored $75 million in their divorce property settlement, TMZ reports. That's half of the couple's total estimated assets of $150 million. Vanessa gets all three of their Newport Beach-area mansions, which include the estate they lived in, a new one that was just completed after two years of construction, and the sprawling home Vanessa's mom lives in.
