Is Kobe Bryant worth his weight in gold?

Is Kobe worth his weight in gold?

Interesting question.

I could be wayyyyyyyyyyy off, but the site I checked said gold is selling for US $437 an ounce.

16 ounces to a pound.....so gold equals $6992 in US dollars per pound.

Kobe, according to the NBA.com website, weighs 220 pounds. His salary, according to HoopsHype.com, is $14,175,000. Therefore, Kobe is worth $64, 431.81 per pound. He costs 10 times what gold costs per pound, roughly.

Cocaine sells for roughly $11,363 per pound.

He still has people to envy, though....

Julia Roberts weighs 125 pounds, makes $20 million a film, and does 2 films a year, or so. She is worth $320,000 a pound.

Shaq weighs about 325, and makes $27,000,000 a year.....that's $83 thousand a pound....no wonder Kobe is pissed.

Bill Gates weighs....soaking wet....165 pounds. His net worth is around 52 billion dollars. He breaks down to $315 million a pound...and he's already married.

Oprah Winfrey weighs about 265, and she's worth $4 million and change per pound. If she diets, it goes up to about 7.8 million dollars per Oprahriffic pound.
