O.J. Simpson Estate Agrees to Pay Goldman Family About $58 Million

Funding will come from sales and recovery of memorabilia, with federal tax debts taking priority.

Overview

  • Estate executor Malcolm LaVergne accepted the Goldman claim after negotiations, reversing his initial post‑death stance.
  • The agreed payout is substantially below the more than $117 million the family had sought with accrued interest.
  • The payment follows a 1997 civil judgment that found Simpson liable and awarded $33.5 million, which was largely unpaid.
  • Assets to be sold include sports trophies and personal items, and the estate is seeking the return of items reported stolen.
  • Other creditor claims were rejected, including about $637,000 from California, while the IRS claim was recognized as priority.
