Kim Kardashian Says She Was the Mystery Buyer of Her Father’s Bible at O. J. Simpson Auction

She bid under an alias following the estate’s rejection of her low private offer.

Overview

  • The book sold for $80,276 at Goldin Auctions and was listed as Robert Kardashian’s signed, inscribed personal Bible given to O. J. Simpson in 1994.
  • Kardashian said her initial $15,000 approach to the estate was turned down, with executor Malcolm LaVergne previously citing legal costs and later criticizing her account.
  • She explained she used an alias to avoid attention after correspondence about her offer surfaced in the press.
  • After receiving the item, she presented it on The Kardashians and gifted it to Khloé, who had flagged the auction and said the keepsake filled a gap in what the siblings retained from their father.
  • The episode also revived long-running tabloid paternity chatter that Kim and Khloé joked about, a rumor both O. J. Simpson and Kris Jenner have denied previously, as Jenner stayed quiet during the exchange.
