Almost one year after O.J. Simpson’s death on April 10, 2024, 44 personal items from his estate have been auctioned off, starting on March 12.

Particularly notable objects in the auction were from Simpson’s time in the NCAA and NFL, including a 974 Lombardi Award Trophy for his record 2,003 yards rushing and a full-size replica of his 1968 Heisman Trophy. Simpson lost his real Heisman Trophy in 1999 when he auctioned it for $225,000 to help him pay for his legal defense.

An incredibly controversial public figure before and after his football career, in the early 90s Simpson was charged with murdering his wife and her friend. His criminal case ultimately became one of the most high-profile in the country’s history. A jury found Simpson not guilty in the case, but he later lost a civil lawsuit for wrongful death and battery against his wife’s friend and battery against his wife. Following the case, Simpson went on to play for the NFL for 11 years.

Simpson died from metastatic prostate cancer at the age of 76.

Other items sold at the auction were a framed, signed photo of Simpson and former U.S. president Bill Clinton playing a round of golf together, and a Living Bible gifted by his lawyer and close friend Robert Kardashian. Bidding for the photo of Simpson and Clinton started at $100, while the Living Bible started at $2,500.

In addition to those more meaningful objects, many of Simpson’s personal belongings were auctioned off, including a wallet, sunglasses and a pair of Beats headphones.

Surprisingly, also auctioned off among Simpson’s personal memorabilia were the gloves that served as a crucial piece of evidence in his court trial. The gloves, famously found at the scene of the crime did not fit Simpson’s hands.

The event was through the firm Golden Auctions, which set a record last fall when they sold Shohei Ohtani’s homerun ball for $4.4 million. The ball, which was Ohtani’s 50th homerun, made him the first MLB player to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.
