OJ Simpson's estate agrees to pay $58 million to Ron Goldman's father after court order

O.J. Simpson's estate has agreed to pay $58 million to Ron Goldman's father after a court order.

Simpson, a football star acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, was found liable for their deaths in a California civil case and ordered to pay the families $33.5 million in 1997. A Las Vegas judge in 2021 ordered Simpson to pay the Goldmans nearly $58 million, The Hill news outlet reported Monday.

Simpson died on April 10, 2024, in Las Vegas at the age of 76 from prostate cancer, and neither he nor his estate ever paid the $58 million.

After Simpson’s death, Fred Goldman, who is Ron Goldman's father, filed a creditor’s claim against the estate in Clark County District Court.

A probate judge is overseeing a case to settle parts of Simpson’s estate and trust, and according to court documents filed Friday, the estate approved the judge’s nearly $58 million figure, plus interest.

“The executor will continue to work with Claimant Goldman on a more accurate accounting of interest accumulation based on the variable rate nature of the Nevada judgment interest computation, either through a stipulation or a petition for compromise,” documents said.
