The estate of professional football player O.J. Simpson, also an actor and media personality, accepted a $58 million claim from Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, who was murdered alongside Simpson’s wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, in 1994.
The estate’s executor reportedly said that Simpson’s estate is worth between $500,000 and $1 million, and that it owes back taxes to the IRS.
Simpson, who died in 2024 at the age of 76, was found liable in civil court in 1997 for the wrongful deaths of his 35-year-old wife and her friend, 25-year-old Goldman.
He was ordered to pay $33.5 million, but never did so. The couple had two children, Sydney and Justin Simpson.
Goldman, who was working as a waiter at the time of the well-publicized double stabbings, was raised Jewish in Buffalo Grove, Ill.
