Kobe Bryant Is Part Of Forbes’ ‘Highest-Paid Dead Celebrities Of 2020’ List

Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna were among the nine people on board the helicopter that crashed and left no survivors in Calabasas, California on Sunday, January 26.

It still feels surreal and deep down inside, I don’t want to accept the fact that they are gone. Then, when you read things like Forbes’ ‘Highest-Paid Dead Celebrities’ list and see Kobe on there it is a tough reality check. 

To look for the one positive in this, Kobe at least is still providing for his family, and ranked 6th on the tragic list, with $20 million made. 

Per Forbes:

After the Lakers legend died in a helicopter accident in January, Nike sold out its Kobe Bryant merchandise. Fans also made a fast break for his autobiography, which sold more than 300,000 copies this year.
