O.J. Simpson paid little of the $33.5 million judgment while alive, and in 2025 his executor accepted a $58 million claim from Ron Goldman's father

O.J. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of the 12 June 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. In 1997 a civil jury found him liable, and the families won a $33.5 million judgment. Simpson declared bankruptcy and moved to Florida, which kept his pension from being seized. His remaining assets were sold. The Goldman family says it received less than 1% of what was owed. Simpson died of cancer in Las Vegas on 10 April 2024. His executor, Malcolm LaVergne, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he hoped the Goldman family would "get nothing." He later withdrew those comments and worked with the family. Fred Goldman, Ron's father, filed a creditor claim in Clark County District Court for about $117 million, the judgment plus interest. On 14 November 2025 LaVergne accepted the claim at $57,997,858.12 plus judgment interest, a figure reached by negotiation. He said the IRS would be paid first; the IRS and Goldman claims were the only two approved. California must file a civil suit to collect about $636,945. The estate is auctioning memorabilia from his football career and trying to recover stolen items. Goldman's lawyer, Michaelle Rafferty, said the acceptance "does not constitute payment" and that the family would watch the probate.
