2965 REVIEW DENIED A jury's award of compensatory damages should not be disturbed unless the entire record establishes that it was motivated by passion and prejudice; although a defendant's net worth is a factor to be considered in fixing the amount of punitive damages, it is not the only factor, and a punitive damages award that exceeds the defendant's net worth is not necessarily excessive.CitationRUFO v SIMPSON (Simpson Murder) 86 CA4 573 [See: CCP 377.61; Krouse v Graham 19 C3 59; DiRosario v Havens 196 CA3 1224; Bertero v National 13 C3 43; Garcia v Superior Court 42 CA4 177, T/AT 3/96; Neal v Farmers 21 C3 910; Las Palmas v Las Palmas 235 CA3 1220; Devlin v Kearny Mesa 155 CA3 381; Vallbona v Springer 43 CA4 1525, T/AT 5/96]
