Kim Kardashian’s battle for Dad Robert’s Bible whom he handed OJ Simpson

After the death of Simpson last April at the age of 76, his personal assets were appointed to be sold to pay off his remaining debts. Among the items in a current auction is Robert’s gift.

Kim, 44, put his hand out of offering $ 15,000 for the Bible, but Simpson Estate Executor Malcolm Lavergne said she was refused because the article was already under contract with the court to be auctioned.

Lavergne also seemed to spot with the low price that Kim was willing to pay, telling PEOPLE: “The amount is why I had no choice, because why would I spend $ 15,000 estate money – why would I spend $ 15,000 on lawyers – to sell it to Kim for $ 15,000?

“That is a zero-sum game. That is a bad business model.

“If Kim had offered $ 150,000 for it, we would have been in court to get it approved outside the auction.”

Now Kim has to make a bid like everyone, of which Lavergne said it can work to her advantage: “Kim can offer it online. She can even get it cheaper than the 15 Grand, so who knows?”

From the press, the top offer was still less than $ 10,000.

According to the auction site, the book is described as: “A sign of friendship and support, during a tumultuous period of the life of the Late Hall of Famer OJ Simpson.

“Simpson’s friend and lawyer, the late Robert Kardashian, donated this personalized copy of The Living Bible To Simpson, who leaves a sincere inscription of 18 June 1994, the day after the notorious Ford Bronco Chase. “

The inscription is: “OJ this book will help. God loves and He will speak with His words with His words. Read this book every day. God has a clear plan for your life. You are his child and He will use you again. I love you and God loves you.”

Robert signed his name at the bottom of the inscription, together with the date “June 18, 1994”.

Robert and Simpson had been friends for decades – dating from their student days at the University of South California in the late sixties.

When Radaronline.com Previously reported, Robert was part of the controversial legal “Dream Team” that helped Simpson to score an acquittal in 1995 for the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson And her friend Ron Goldman.

While the retired running ran back, OJ was later held liable for the unlawful killing of the duo in a civil lawsuit of 1997 and ordered $ 33 million to pay to the families of the victims.
