    OJ Simpson's estate has rejected Kim Kardashian's $15,000 offer to purchase her late father Robert Kardashian's inscribed Bible, according to its administrator Malcolm LaVergne

    Reality TV veteran Kim, 44, reportedly approached Mr LaVergne in an attempt to secure the Bible before it went to auction, but the estate apparently opted to proceed with the public sale rather than accepting her offer - with the book, which contains a handwritten note from Robert Kardashian to Simpson, currently listed online with a bid of $9,800


    Mr LaVergne told People: "The amount is why I had no choice, because 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?

    "That's a zero-sum game. That's a bad business model. If Kim had offered $150,000 for it, we would've been in court getting this approved outside of the auction."

    He added: "She may even get it cheaper than the 15 grand, so who knows."

    The Bible carries an inscription dated 18 June 1994, the day after Simpson was arrested and accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

    Robert Kardashian's note says: "O.J., this book will help. God loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book every day. 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."

    Robert Kardashian, who was 59 when he died of oesophageal cancer in 2003, was a close friend of Simpson's and served on his defence team during the 1995 trial.

    His involvement reportedly caused tension within his family, as his ex-wife, Kris Jenner, and their children, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Rob Kardashian, had close ties to both Simpson and Brown Simpson.

    Kris said during a 2009 appearance on Dr. Phil: "Right before the trial started, Robert sat down and wrote us a handwritten letter and just said, 'Look, I know you don't agree with what is going down here, but this is what I have to do for my friend'."

    Simpson was acquitted of the murders but was later found liable for their deaths in a 1997 civil trial.

    He died in April 2024 at the age of 76 following a battle with prostate cancer.
