Vanessa Bryant Donating $16 Mil from L.A. Co. To Mamba, Mambacita Foundations

Vanessa Bryant is sinking the $16 million she won from L.A. County into the cause Kobe Bryant loved -- the Lakers superstar's widow says it will all be donated to the Mamba and Mambacita Foundations.

Bryant and co-plaintiff Chris Chester won their lawsuit against L.A. County over the distribution of photos taken at the helicopter crash scene in Jan. 2020 ... with the jury awarding Vanessa the $16 mil, and $15 million to Chris.
