O.J. Simpson, still on the hook for a $33 million wrongful-death judgement, raked in more than $1 million over recent three-year span, according to tax records made public yesterday.
U.S. Income Tax Returns showed The Juice made $392,748 in 2005, $405,758 in 2004 and $392,892 in 2003. The records were released by Simpson’s lawyer Ronald Slates to collection lawyer David Cook, who represents grieving dad Fred Goldman in their on-going court fight over The Juice’s money.
“These returns are breath-taking,” Cook said. “He’s loaded, he makes more than 90 percent of all other Americans.Simpson was tried and acquitted for the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her pal Ron Goldman.
A civil jury held the NFL Hall of Fame member liable for the that double slaughter and ordered him to pay $33.5 million. Fred Goldman has been aggressively chasing O.J. for that massive debt ever since.
Simpson listed himself as a “producer/entertainer” in his three tax returns.
“If these are pension monies, then it’s exempt from a creditor’s reach,” Cook conceded. “But what makes these returns scandalous is that this is a very wealthy man who has flaunted his wealth in front of Fred Goldman and refused to meet any responsibility. O.J. Simpson has surrounded himself with this incredible sea of dollars and here’s Fred Goldman in his dinghy.”
