El patrimonio de O.J. Simpson no está repleto de dinero como se podría esperar, ni es suficiente para satisfacer su deuda con la familia de Ron Goldman, o al menos eso afirma su albacea.

El abogado de Simpson, Malcolm LaVergne, habló con "TMZ Live" el martes sobre las finanzas de O.J. tras su muerte la semana pasada. Según Malcolm, O.J. murió con menos de 5 cifras en su cuenta bancaria de Nevada, y en general, tenía menos que millones a su nombre.

En sus últimos días, O.J. estaba recibiendo la cantidad máxima de la seguridad social, así como las pensiones por su tiempo como estrella de la NFL y como actor. Malcolm afirma que esos pagos totalizaron menos de los $ 400K por año que se han informado.

O.J. Simpson's estate is NOT flush with the kinda cash you'd expect -- nor is it enough to satisfy his debt to Ron Goldman's family ... at least that's what his executor is claiming.

We got Simpson's longtime attorney Malcolm LaVergne Tuesday on "TMZ Live," and he opened up about O.J.'s finances following his death last week. As Malcolm put it, O.J. died with less than 5-figures in one Nevada bank account, and overall ... had less than millions to his name.

In his final days, O.J. was receiving the maximum amount of social security, as well as pensions from his time as an NFL star and actor. Malcolm claims those payments totaled less than the $400K per year that's been reported.
