00:00I had a bunch of houses at one time. I owned some parking lots in downtown LA all around Staples
00:04Center. Wow! From 2002 there was really nothing there and now there's so much down there. Still
00:09have them? No. I sold them in 2006. I wish I had them now because then they'd be worth hundreds
00:14of millions of dollars. He would have made more money holding onto parking lots than he would
00:19throughout his entire career in acting. Let that sink in for a second. Kobe Bryant was one of those
00:24cases where he made more money from investing than he did from his entire basketball career. Same
00:29with 50 cent. He made more money from his business investments than he did from his music. So
00:34he bought mounds of dirt because that's all it is. A lot of these parking lots are just
00:37basically a big mound of dirt and you hire a guy there, 15 bucks an hour, and he's waving
00:42cars in. You have to pay 20 bucks an hour to park there. But had he held onto them, my gosh,
00:47they're probably worth 30 times what he paid for them.
