Simpsons' Net Worth After Paying $335 Million and Serving 9 Years in Prison
Celebrity Net Worth Estimates Simpson's Wealth at $3 Million
O.J. Simpson's net worth was estimated to be around $3 million according to Celebrity Net Worth before he paid $335 million in a wrongful death lawsuit and served nine years in prison for armed robbery.
NFL Earnings and Private Pensions
Simpson claimed that he lived solely on his NFL and private pensions, despite his significant earnings throughout his career. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 1969 and demanded a record-setting contract at the time: $650,000 over five years, equivalent to approximately $5.7 million today.
Seized Possessions and Jury Award
As part of the jury award in the wrongful death lawsuit, hundreds of Simpson's valuable possessions were seized, contributing to his diminished net worth. These possessions included jewelry, memorabilia, and a Heisman Trophy.
Surviving with $3 Million
Despite the significant payments and legal expenses, Simpson reportedly had a net worth of $3 million at the time of his death, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This indicates that he may have managed to preserve some of his wealth through other investments or sources of income. However, this amount represents a stark decline from his earlier estimated net worth.
