KOBE Bryant's wife Vanessa has inherited a $200million stake in sports drink Bodyarmor bought by the late NBA star for $5million in 2013.
At the time of Bryant's death, he was the fourth-largest shareholder in the company, which is set to surpass $1billion in retail revenue for the first time this year.
Bryant first invested in Bodyarmor in March 2013, parting with $5million to gain a 10 percent stake.
The company was cofounded two years earlier by Smartwater mogul Mike Repole and Fuze Beverage brains Lance Collins, and was aiming to make inroads in a market dominated by Gatorade.
Bryant became an important brand ambassador, taking a seat on the company's board of directors and overseeing its advertising campaigns.
In 2018, the Coca Cola company purchased a minority stake in Bodyarmor in a deal that valued the company at $2billion, making Bryant's share worth at least $200million
