OJ Simpson hid fortune in tax haven before his death
Slippery Simpson – who died of prostate cancer in April 2024 at the age of 76 – spent decades avoiding the judgment handed down against him in 1997.
It wasn’t until 2025 that Simpson’s estate finally agreed to pay Ron’s family.
His estate accepted a claim for nearly $58 million from the Goldmans, according to documents filed in a Las Vegas court by the NFL’s longtime attorney Malcolm LaVergne.
An insider told us at the time: “The money doesn’t take away the colossal pain the Goldmans have suffered, but it at least gives them a sense of justice in taking the blood money from OJ’s estate and ensuring they hold all parties accountable.”
Simpson left behind a fortune of approximately $3 million at the time of his death, paving the way for a legal scuffle between his estate and creditors – including Ron’s father, Fred, who initially filed a claim for $117 million for the amount initially owed plus interest.
The late Norman Pardo, who managed Simpson for nearly a decade, had told us that Simpson had used shady schemes to hide his cash businesses, including secretly selling memorabilia, attending book signings and performing at nightclubs.
