The late Lakers icon Kobe Bryant's investment for a 10 percent stake in sports drink BodyArmor for just $6 million in the company way back in 2014 has grown to $800 million.
That incredible gain surpassed by two and a half times more Bryant’s career NBA earnings of roughly $323 million in his 20 seasons playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.
When Coca-Cola acquired a minority stake in the sports drink company in 2018, Bryant's shares immediately soared to around $200 million.
Coca-Cola is reportedly close to acquiring a controlling stake in sports BodyArmor for $8 billion, which could be announced as early as Monday.
The Lakers icon keeps proving that he excelled outside the court.
After Bryant retired from the NBA in 2016, his "Dear Basketball" production brought him an Oscar for the best animated short film.
