In March 2025, a Bible that belonged to O.J. Simpson was auctioned in the United States. The Bible was a gift from his former defense attorney, Robert Kardashian Sr., who inscribed a personal message within it. Kim Kardashian, Robert's daughter, initially attempted to acquire the Bible by bidding $15,000. However, the executor of Simpson’s estate, Malcolm LaVergne, rejected her offer, ultimately deciding to auction it instead. On March 29, 2025, the Bible fetched a total of $80,276 after 49 bids were placed, with 14 occurring on the final day of bidding. The auction highlighted Simpson's lasting legacy, as the Bible served as a significant connection to his controversial past. Simpson’s trial, which received extensive media attention in the 1990s, was challenging for the Kardashian family, as Robert's defense of Simpson drew a divide within the family, particularly with Kris Jenner opposing him. Despite the family's differing views on the case, Kim Kardashian expressed her admiration for her father's legal career and indicated that it has influenced her own aspirations of becoming a lawyer. The auction also included other notable items related to Simpson, contributing to an overall revenue of approximately $300,000 from the estate's auction.
