O.J. Simpson Estate Accepts $57 Million Claim ... Fred Goldman May See Cash at Last!
By TMZ Staff
Published November 15, 2025 12:18 PM PST
O.J. Simpson's estate seems one step closer to paying Fred Goldman money he's owed for winning his wrongful death lawsuit years ago ... because the estate's accepted a multimillion-dollar settlement.
Malcolm LaVergne -- the Simpson estate executor -- filed court documents earlier this week in which he accepts Fred's creditor claim in the "amount of $57,997,858.12 (U.S.), plus judgment interest on the approved amount."
Goldman originally asked for north of $117 million ... but, LaVergne argues that -- despite what he sees as a good faith effort on Goldman's part to determine an accurate amount -- the interest hasn't been calculated correctly.
LaVergne tells TMZ ... the nearly $58 million approved by the estate is a negotiated amount with Goldman, and the estate plans on paying out as much of it as it can as they continue to auction off items -- some of which Malcolm claims have been stolen. He says he's working with lawyers to regain possession of some of these items.

(112,148 posts)The Goldmans had absolutely nothing to do with him... Just a son & brother in the wrong place/wrong time trying to do a good thing, returning misplaced property.
I hope Fred may live to actually see the $$.

The trial was ridiculous. Almost as stupid as Trumps defenses.
