Apparently, being found liable for the deaths of two people and making millions aren't mutually exclusive: O.J. Simpson made nearly $400,000 in income from his NFL pensions every year from 2003 to 2005, for a total of $1.2 million, and even earned $50,000 from what he calls "appearances," according to tax returns released to the father of Simpson victim Ron Goldman -- and obtained by TMZ.
Fred Goldman's lawyer, David Cook, tells TMZ that what he's really interested in is the $772,090 in "personal property" that O.J. claims on his 2005 return, because the pensions are exempt from the $33.5 million judgment that Fred won in 1997 -- and which they've been trying to collect ever since. Cook says he's not sure what the "personal property" consists of, but says he'll be going after it.
"He's a very wealthy man sitting on a lot of assets," says Cook of Simpson. "Meanwhile, Mr. Goldman is a 67-year-old working man." Cook says that they're attempting to seize Simpson's Florida house, and will investigate the $50,000 in gross income that Simpson claimed in 2003 and 2004.
To put O.J.'s yearly pension into perspective, Simpson made a reported $733,000 in 1978, when he was the highest-paid player in the NFL, nearly doubling Joe Namath's pay.
Simpson's lawyer didn't immediately return calls for comment. Just last week, the State of California Franchise Tax Board revealed that O.J. owes $1.4 million in back taxes.

hopefully he'll get jail time and someone in jail will want to get some headlines and kill the SOB
Take everything from this bastard that you can Fred. You have my blessing!
Give it up Mr Goldman...your son cannot come back..all the money in the world can't do that..Live your life as your son would want you to do
Jesus Christ, leave friggin' OJ alone already!!
He hasn't killed anyone and he isn't going to be making any money that the Goldman's can get their hands on...
I really feel sorry for Goldman- his son did not even like him- has not spoken to him for 5 years before his death! And Now heartbroken Mr Goldman thinks taking money from OJ will somehow make up for his bad relationship with his son!!! Everyone grieves differently BUT Mr. Goldman is doing more harm to his memory than good. Would Ron want his father to spend every waking day of his life going after OJ??
i hope he makes more and more and more and then, well im not sure what i want to happen next. i havent really put much thought into it after that i guess!

Lovely sweet revenge - a lifetime full 'til Hell for the low IQ low class racist multiple STD Simpson - perfect example of too many blacks getting off & cheering him on.
OJ still raking in millions and Fred Goldman can't touch it!!
Too funny!!
Don't worry Mr Goldman, OJ will soon be in prison for a very long time and you won't have to worry about him making any money at all. If OJ were smart which he isn't, he would have been the first to cop a plea, but his BIG head is going to bring him down this time, and he'll be lucky if he isn't in prison for the rest of his life!
The Goldman's are a tight family & in spare time may as well make Hell on Earth for the racist & sexist pedophile Simpson. Viva le Goldmans!
Go get him Fred..as far as Ron not liking his dad..there are lots of pics showing Ron and Fred in a very close relationship. If they did have a falling out at anytime it was probably appropriate to Ron's age and a father with different ideas. Nothing out of the norm. Many kids separate from their parents when they want to fly free..sadly OJ clipped Ron's wings and ended what could have been an amazing life. The father/son thing..close or not is moot.
Mr Goldman and his daughter just like to be martyrs and cannot let go of their 15 sick azz minutes of fame. That man has spent the his life since his son's death sucking out of OJ's ass like some damn bottom feeder. His life is passing him by and he can't get rid of his Cialis hard on for OJ. What a waste of a life, chasing after a loser like OJ. Get a damn life. If you think your actions honor your son, there is no honor in your family. You didn't even talk to your damn kid, talk about a media whore. Goldman is worse than OJ.
Once the racist Simpson is convicted his pension is fair game for the Goldmans & Browns - $Millions coming their way. And the low IQ Simpson will need to sell the house to pay attorney fees - perfect.
#8 he may not have been offered a plea. not everyone is

Goldmans & Browns spend just a few minutes a week tormenting the racist Simpson family - perfect way to send him to Hell as a pauper.
