Overview

  • Kim Kardashian offered $15,000 to purchase a Bible inscribed by her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., from O.J. Simpson's estate, but the offer was declined.
  • The Bible, gifted to Simpson by Robert Kardashian Sr. in 1994, includes a handwritten note offering spiritual guidance following Simpson's arrest for murder charges.
  • Malcolm LaVergne, the executor of Simpson's estate, stated that selling the Bible outside of the court-mandated auction would incur legal fees equal to the offered amount, making it financially unviable.
  • The Bible is part of a broader auction of Simpson's belongings aimed at settling his outstanding debts, including a civil judgment owed to the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
  • Kardashian has the opportunity to bid on the Bible via the auction, where the current highest bid stands at $9,800, with bidding open until March 29.
