Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi’s Secret $1.25M La Quinta Condo Goes to Auction As Trustees Rake in $203k After Auctioning off Luxury Items Owned by the Former Couple
Erika Jayne and her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s luxury possessions raked in a whopping $203,000 for creditors in the former famed lawyer’s ongoing bankruptcy case.
According to The Sun, the trustee overseeing Tom’s Chapter 7 have revealed in court documents that the sale of the estranged couple’s personal property brought in $299,974.93.
$203,153,90 total will go into the estate. The additional funds will be paid to ThreeSixty Asset Advisors for the auction and other costs connected to the auction.
Items auctioned off included a 2011 Cadillac DTS, which sold for $6,400, a signed Erin Brockovich poster, office furniture, an unopened mystery box of Agent Provocateur lingerie, sports memorabilia, books, statues, paintings, and a signed Beach Boys record.
Cosmetics believed to be owned by Erika were also auctioned off for hundreds of dollars. Even Christmas decorations belonging to the former couple went for $450.
Attorney Ronald Richards told The Sun: “The collective creative talent of the attorneys and professionals working on the Girardi Keese bankruptcy under the Trustees supervision which continues to bring real dollars into this Estate is impressive. They were given an abandoned office in shambles and through creative thinking have monetized every last asset.”
Meanwhile, Tom’s secret La Quinta home will also be hitting the auction block very soon.
The property is currently listed at $1.25million. Potential buyers can bid on the home starting on October 5. This move comes after two potential offers on the house fell through.
The October 5 auction will occur at 10 am at the United States Bankruptcy Court in Downtown LA.
Richards notes that the sale will result at a minimum of $730k going to the Estate. $584k will go to the Ruigomez family creditors, which is one of the families suing Tom. Around $335K will also be used to pay Tom’s trustee’s attorney’s bill.
Tom and Erika are currently being sued for allegedly embezzling millions from Tom’s former clients, including plane crash victims, burn victims, widows, and orphans.
