Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ Jacket Sold for $1.8 Million!

Jun 27, 2011 @ 1:30 pm

Michael Jackson‘s famous red “Thriller” jacket sold for a whopping $1.8 million at Julien’s auction in Beverly Hills this weekend. The King of Pop signed the topper as a gift to his longtime costume designers, Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, and Texas businessman Milton Verret put down the final $1.8 million bid, EW reports. While part of the sum will go toward the Shambala Preserve, home to Jackson’s two Bengal tigers, Thriller and Sabu, there’s another charity element—the big spender plans to take the jacket on a nationwide tour of children’s hospitals.

MJ’s Sparkling Glove Sells For Almost $200K

Jun 28, 2010 @ 4:03 pm

One year after Michael Jackson‘s untimely death, an auction was held to sell some of his most famed memorabilia. Held in Las Vegas, the auction featured over 200 items—including the famed Swarovski crystal-studded glove MJ wore on his 1984 Victory Tour. The lone glove, one of Michael’s most fashionable items, fetched almost $200,000—far, far more than the expected $30,000. And the winning bidder, Wanda Kelley, was prepared to pay even more, telling PopEater.com, ”Let’s just say I wasn’t walking out of here with that glove.”
