Kim Kardashian responds to the sale of her father Robert Kardashian Sr.’s Bible by O.J. Simpson’s estate.
The situation for Kim Kardashian is unfair. The reality star was upset after discovering her attempt to buy a Bible her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., had once gifted to his friend O.J. Simpson had been blocked.
She was upset that the executor of O.J.'s estate, who was auctioning off the memento following the athlete's death in 2024, had turned down her offer to purchase the book for $15,000. She was also upset that her offer letter had been posted online.
"I would've negotiated," Kim revealed on The Kardashians' November 13 episode. "I guess I had a little too much faith in humanity for a minute there.”

"God has a definite plan for your life," the actress from All's Fair stated, adding that she would have paid up to $30,000 for the memento, which contained a handwritten note from Robert to O.J. He will take advantage of you again since you are his child.
"It's just really special," regarding the Bible, Kim mentioned that Khloe Kardashian, her younger sister, was eager to reintroduce the book into the family. "I was like, 'Oh, I have to get this for her for her birthday.'"
In the end, the bible brought $80,276 (including fees) at auction in March. The winning bidder's identity was never revealed.
What caused Kim's offer to be turned down? Malcolm LaVergn, the executor of O.J.'s estate, stated that he "had no choice" because the court had ordered him to sell the Bible at auction.
"Why would I spend $15,000 of estate money—why would I spend $15,000 in attorney's fees—to sell it to Kim for $15,000?" at that moment, he informed People. "That's a zero-sum game. That's a bad business model."
