\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tIn the late \u201980s and early \u201990s, the Kardashians and the Simpsons were inseparable, raising their children together, spending time at each other\u2019s homes and jetting off on tropical family vacations. But in 1994, after O.J. Simpson was arrested for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, everything changed. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThe amount is why I had no choice, because why would I spend $15,000 of estate money \u2014 why would I spend $15,000 in attorney\u2019s fees \u2014 to sell it to Kim for $15,000?\u201d LaVergne told People.<\/em> \u201cThat\u2019s a zero-sum game. That\u2019s a bad business model. If Kim had offered $150,000 for it, we would\u2019ve been in court getting this approved outside of the auction.\u201d<\/p>\nHowever, Kim still may have a chance of obtaining the bible which currently has a leading bid of just under $10k.<\/p>\n
\u201cKim can bid on it online,\u201d LaVergne added. \u201cShe may even get it cheaper than the 15 grand, so who knows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cO.J., this book will help,\u201d the bible\u2019s note reads. \u201cGod loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book everyday. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kardashian Sr. died in September, 2003 following a battle with esophageal cancer. He was 59. Simpson, meanwhile, died at the age of 76<\/a> from prostate cancer in April, 2024.<\/div>\n\nLaVergne is the executor tasked with selling off Simpson\u2019s assets and personal items in order to pay off leftover debt.<\/p>\n
The bible, which appears to hold sentimental value to the Kardashians, is not the only item being auctioned off.<\/p>\n
Bidding for the personal items opened on Wednesday, March 13 via Goldin Auctions<\/a>. As well as the bible, a framed photo of Simpson with former U.S. president Bill Clinton<\/strong> that was signed by both men is up for grabs.<\/p>\nOther items include football memorabilia from Simpson\u2019s time playing professional NFL prior to the deaths of Brown and Goldman. Among the items for sale is a replica of Simpson\u2019s 1968 Heisman Trophy. Punters can also bid for a trophy he was awarded after making history for being the first NFL player to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season in 1973.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
