Kobe's mom tried to auction some of his stuff off(including high school) because he wouldn't buy her a new mansion. Keep in mind, the mansion she currently lives in was also bought by Kobe. For some people, it's never enough. As been pointed out, this woman relishes being in the spotlight and her baby is now her retirement. You know why she was pissed off that his girlfriend and her family were there? She doesn't want to share the spotlight and she doesn't want to share his money. Also pointed out previously is the belief that she's controlling. She really is... she was already worried about where Landon's future earnings would be going. She wanted to control someone else's fortune before they even had it. She didn't want a smaller piece of pie by having to share with her potential future in-laws. That's just my take anyways, she seemed like an overbearing pageant mother who is living their glory through their child and if she has it her way, living through him financially. Movin' on up, to the east side... she did say she wanted to retire in Flo-rida style.
