She left an estate worth at least $700,000 – more than $500,000 in real property and at least $200,000 in other assets.
Almost everything went to her children and nothing to O.J., who did not even merit a word in her will.
On June 12, 1994, Nicole and her pal Ron were stabbed to death outside her condominium in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
Her then former husband, O.J. ‘The Juice’ Simpson, was charged with the murders. Following an infamous, nationally televised low-speed chase, he was arrested and tried in 1995.
The trial became a massive media sensation, centering on DNA evidence, a history of domestic abuse, and the famous leather gloves which did not appear to fit O.J.’s hand.
On October 3, 1995, a jury found Simpson not guilty of the murders.
But in 1997, a civil jury found him liable for the deaths in a wrongful death lawsuit and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the victims’ families.
