O.J. Simpson was generally reported to have about $3 million at the time of his death, though some estimates put his claimed net worth higher, around $10.8 million in court filings. At the same time, he still faced a large civil debt tied to the Goldman case, which had grown to roughly $100 million with interest.

What that means

  • His assets were much smaller than the money he owed.
  • A 2025 report said his estate accepted a $58 million claim from the Goldman family, still far above the estate’s assets.
  • So the simple answer is: he likely had a few million dollars , not tens of millions in available cash.

Quick take

If you mean “how rich was he when he died?”, the best public estimate is about $3 million. If you mean “how much did he owe?”, the figure was far larger , with estimates around $100 million including interest.
