On Friday, Kobe Bryant sold his home in the Pelican Ridge area for $6,116,500, Multiple Listing Service records show, the highest price ever paid for a home in the Newport Coast enclave.
The sale bests the previous high-water mark set by an 8,000-square-foot home that sold for $4.78 million in 2013, according to property records.
Bryant, who bought the home from sports agent Dwight Manley in 2001, originally asked as much as $8.599 million for the 8,741-square home in 2013. More recently, it was priced at $6.45 million.
