Robert Kardashian’s Bible Sells for $80k in O.J. Simpson Auction
O.J. Simpson
Bible from Robert Kardashian sells for $80K
… After kim offered $15k
Published
Robert Kardashian‘s signed and inscribed Bible which was gifted to O.J. Simpson as a token of friendship that Kim Kardashian wanted to pay $15K for has sold at auction for a whopping amount of money … TMZ has confirmed.
Malcolm LaVergne, the special administrator of O.J.’s estate, tells TMZ … the Bible of the former lawyer sold at auction for $80,276. He says he doesn’t know who the lucky buyer is but notes that whether you loved O.J. or hated him it’s clear “his legacy endures.”
The estate’s auction brought in an estimated $300K in sales. Other items that sold included a personally signed and framed photo of O.J. and former President Bill Clinton which went for over $18K. Also sold was a replica of O.J.’s 1968 Heisman Trophy for $42,700.
We broke the story … Kim Kardashian’s team reached out and offered $15K for the Bible … and inquired about any other objects that may have belonged to Robert — but the estate had no choice but to turn down KK’s offer.
LaVergne says he’s willing to work with O.J.’s creditors, including the father of Ron Goldman, Fred, who won a judgment of tens of millions of dollars in his wrongful death suit against the former NFL star.
As you know, O.J. was found not guilty in the savage 1994 murders of Goldman and Simpon’s ex-wife, Nicole, in Los Angeles. But, O.J. was found liable for the killings in a 1997 civil suit and ordered by a judge to pay $33.5 million to the victims’ families.
As we reported … after O.J. died last year, LaVergne made it clear he wanted to sell Simpson’s personal items to help pay back creditors who have come calling for money since he died.

One item that wasn’t listed in the auction was Simpson’s deathbed, which we showed you in January.

There will be no Jump Men or Swooshes in Alijah Arenas‘ future … Gilbert Arenas‘ high school basketball star son tells TMZ Sports he’s signing a contract with Adidas!!
The McDonald’s All-American said out at LAX this week he’s planning to follow in his dad’s footsteps and ink an endorsement deal with the three stripes.
No word yet on what the monetary numbers on the pact will be … but Adidas has given Gilbert millions over the years for the rights to his signature shoe — so we’re sure Alijah’s pockets will be plenty deep as he gets set to start his college hoops career.
Of course, the 18-year-old appears to be worth any penny Adidas doles out … as he’s grown into arguably the best high school baller in the nation in the last few years.
In fact, he was one of the top scorers at the McDonald’s all-star showcase this week … logging 11 points.

Alijah told us he’s super excited to put on a USC Trojans uniform soon … and then he clearly hopes he’ll be on NBA hardwoods not long after that.
As for if he’ll be a better pro than his famous father … check out the clip — Alijah certainly seems confident he will be!
