OJ Simpson’s Bible from Robert Kardashian Sr. sells for hefty sum after Kim Kardashian’s $15K offer rejected

OJ Simpson’s Bible gifted from the late Robert Kardashian Sr. sold for $80,276 after his estate turned down Kim Kardashian’s $15,000 offer.

According to Goldin auction site, the book received 49 bids before going to a winner Saturday night.

The Bible was described as a “token of friendship and support during a tumultuous period” of Simpson’s life when he was on trial for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

Robert, who died from esophageal cancer in September 2003, gifted Simpson the Bible on June 18, 1994 — the day after the former NFL star was arrested following an infamous Ford Bronco chase in Los Angeles.

“OJ … This book will help. God loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book everyday. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you,” the attorney wrote on the inside.

“Robert G. Kardashian” is also inscribed in gold on the book’s cover.

Earlier this month, Kim, 44, was denied after attempting to purchase the heirloom before it was auctioned off.

“Why would I spend $15,000 in attorney’s fees — to sell it to Kim for $15,000?” Malcolm LaVergne, the executor of Simpson’s estate, told People at the time.

“That’s a zero-sum game. That’s a bad business model. If Kim had offered $150,000 for it, we would’ve been in court getting this approved outside of the auction,” he added.

Kim’s late father, Robert, served on Simpson’s defense team during the high-profile murder trial in the ’90s.

The Buffalo Bills alum was eventually found not guilty of killing his ex-wife and Goldman in 1995.

The trial divided Robert’s family as his ex-wife Kris Jenner was friends with Brown Simpson.

“Right before the trial started, Robert sat down and wrote us a handwritten letter and just said, ‘Look, I know you don’t agree with what is going down here, but this is what I have to do for my friend,’” Jenner told Dr. Phil in 2009.

The Kardashian family had been close to Simpson and Brown Simpson after Robert met the athlete in college.

Simpson died from prostate cancer in April 2024 at age 76.
