Although O.J. Simpson was once regarded as one of America’s best athletes, he will always be associated with the horrific death of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown.
After retiring from sports, the former Buffalo Bills player remade himself as an actor, but everything fell apart when he was charged with killing Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
In what was considered the “trial of the century,” he was sensationally cleared of the murders.
However, the 76-year-old actor of Naked Gun, who passed away on Wednesday, was imprisoned for nine years for armed robbery, 12 years after he was first arrested.
OJ Simpson lived a life of king
OJ’s illustrious past did not detract from his opulent lifestyle. He was locked up in a £1.4 million opulent five-bedroom house, where he had lived since being released from prison in 2017, while he passed away from cancer.
After being declared not guilty of double murder in one of the first ever televised trials, Simpson was shunned by his famous friends and sought refuge in the house of close friend James Barnett.
The two got to know each other decades ago when affluent businessman Barnett engaged him to give a motivational speech.
Inside a gated community with its own pool and golf course, where Simpson—nicknamed The Juice—regularly played a round—lies the opulent, guarded home close to the Las Vegas strip.
