Although OJ Simpson was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in his 1995 trial, the victims' families filed a civil suit and were awarded a $33.5 million judgment against him in 1997 for the wrongful deaths of his ex-wife and her friend. At the time, his net worth was $11 million.

Following the civil judgment, he defaulted on the mortgage of his Los Angeles home and the house went into foreclosure. In February 1999, some of his property was seized and auctioned (notably his Heisman trophy) but most of the judgment has not been paid. After the civil suit, he moved to Florida in 2000, which is one of the few states where pensions and residences cannot generally be seized to collect debts.
