The property Giuliani is being forced to relinquish will go to Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss. Last year, they won a $148 million judgment over his allegations of ballot fraud against them related to the official results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
Freeman and Moss claim that Giuliani pushed former President Donald Trump's so-called "lies" about the election being stolen, which led to death threats made against the pair that made them fear for their lives.
To force Giuliani to pay Freeman and Moss, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman of the Southern District of New York ordered the turnover of many of Giuliani's most valuable properties on Oct. 22 – including a luxury NYC apartment.
Once the personal property is transferred to an appointed receiver, the receiver will determine how Giuliani's property will be used to settle the judgment. The former mayor's apartment will not be handled by the receiver, but will instead be transferred separately so that Freeman and Moss can personally sell the property, which is estimated to be worth more than $5 million.
Judge forcing Giuliani to turn over valuable items regardless of their sentimental value
Along with Giuliani's apartment, Liman also ordered the former mayor to turn over a 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 sports car previously owned by actress Lauren Bacall estimated to be worth about $25,000. He is also being forced to turn over more than two dozen watches; a shirt and picture signed, respectively, by New York Yankees legends Joe DiMaggio and Reggie Jackson; a signed Yankee Stadium picture; a diamond ring; and an assortment of costume jewelry and 26 watches including five Shinolas, two Bulovas, a Tiffany & Co. and a Rolex.
Giuliani also has three New York Yankees World Series rings and his Florida condominium which could be turned over, but Liman said that they can remain in the former mayor's possession for now, noting that these assets are tied up in other litigation.

The watches along with the World Series rings and an assortment of costume jewelry are estimated to be worth about $30,000.
One of the watches was reportedly given to Giuliani by his grandfather, and he is asking the court that he be allowed to keep it because of its sentimental value. However, Liman rejected this request, saying Giuliani could have had it exempted if he had proven that the watch was worth less than $1,000, but that he did not do so.
"The Court also does not doubt that certain of the items may have sentimental value to Defendant [Giuliani]," the judge noted in his decision. "But that does not entitle Defendant to continue enjoyment of the assets to the detriment of the Plaintiffs [Freeman and Moss] to whom he owes approximately $150 million. It is, after all, the underlying policy of these New York statutes that 'no man should be permitted to live at the same time in luxury and in debt.'"
