The owner of Robert Kardashian's bible and handwritten letter to O.J. Simpson has been revealed as his daughter, Kim Kardashian!
The SKIMS founder's efforts finally bore fruit after months of trying to negotiate with the Simpson estate for the bible and letter her late father had left. Her initial offer was rejected, leading to an auction many believed she had lost.
However, Kim Kardashian surprised her family with the tale of her victory in the latest episode of Hulu's "The Kardashians." The best part is that she didn't win the auction for herself.
Kim Kardashian Is The Secret Auction Winner Of Her Late Father's Bible

Ahead of the newest episode of her family's reality TV series, Kim teased fans about what to expect in a video on her Instagram Story. The clip captured her enjoying a meal with her mom, Kris Jenner, and younger sister, Khloé Kardashian.
Kim revealed the bible to her family, leaving Khloé stunned about how it ended up in her possession. To her surprise, Kim revealed she had won it at the auction the Simpson estate had held for the late felon's belongings and memorabilia.
"You think I would let that go?" Kim asked Khloé, to which the latter confessed that she didn't believe anyone had cared enough about their late father's bible. The surprises continued, with Kim gifting the sentimental item to Khloé despite fighting hard to get it.
Khloé Kardashian Raves About Her Older Sister's Generosity

In a confessional, Khloé applauded Kim for her selfless nature, declaring that there was no one like her older sister. She described her as someone with "the most generous spirit," claiming that her love for giving had not dwindled with the passage of time.
"She cares about sentimental things and memories and moments, and she does all of this while doing everything else in her life," Khloé raved. The clip flashed back to the family's lunch, where Khloé slammed the Simpson estate as "a-sholes" for not giving them their late father's bible.
The comment caused Kim to jokingly bring up the conspiracy theory of Simpson being Khloé's biological father. The latter implied that she did not mind, calling Robert and Simpson "both of my dads." Kim also patted herself on the back for always giving her family the best gifts they could ever want.
The TV Personality Spent Nearly Six Times More Than Her Initial Offer

When the full episode dropped on November 20, it revealed Kim had spent nearly six times more than her initial $15,000 offer to purchase the bible. TMZ reported that she shelled out $80,000 for the memento, which held her late father's presence.
The bible consisted of a handwritten note from Robert, his personal scripture, and his name etched in gold lettering on the front. As for why many believed she had lost the opportunity to reclaim her father's memento, Kim explained that she had used an alias.
According to the reality TV star, she bid for the bible using a fake name to protect her privacy. The bible came under Simpson's possession during his infamous 1995 murder trial after one of his defense lawyers, Robert, presented it to him as a gift in his hour of need.
The Entertainer Clashed With The Simpson Estate Executor

Before revealing she had the last laugh in the bible drama, Kim had butted heads with the executor of the Simpson estate. The Blast covered the story, reporting that she had lamented her efforts to reclaim the bible before it ended up in an auction.
Kim noted that she had been willing to double her $15,000 offer for the bible, but the estate had been unwilling to sell. "I guess I had a little too much faith in humanity for a minute there," she confessed, a sentiment that didn't sit right with the estate executor.
Malcolm LaVergne poked at Kim's sore spot by referencing her failed attempt to become a lawyer. "No wonder she can't pass the bar. By the way, I've passed three. First time each," he quipped, adding that the only thing he could give Kim credit for was her being richer than him.

Kim's desire to reclaim Robert's bible first made waves in April, with The Blast reporting that a source claimed she was desperate to protect her late father's memory. They alleged that Kim and her family feared the exposure of the private correspondence Robert had with Simpson.
During the infamous murder trial, the late duo reportedly shared many private letters as friends. The Kardashians, per the source, feared that the conversations they had shared would go public and moved to negotiate with the estate for Robert's items.
"The stressful part is that, as of now, she has no way of knowing what else O.J. may have saved from her dad," the source continued. They added that it was "horrifying" for Kim and her family to be in the dark, and they were desperate to ensure nothing leaked.
