The world can’t get enough of Michael Jackson – the King of Pop’s memorabilia has gone under the hammer in Las Vegas for extraordinary prices.
The big sale of clothing, documents and furniture has only just started – and already experts at Julien’s Auctions have been left staggered by the prices items are fetching.
A custom-made jacket, which was expected to go under the hammer at $8,000, went for a staggering $120,000, while an autograph the late pop superstar gave to a fan the day before he died sold for $21,000 – 26 times more than its estimate.
Also among the early highlights, Jackson’s MTV Moonman award for the video of Scream, which went under the hammer for $43,750 – more than six times its estimate – and the King of Pop’s signed white fedora hat, which was expected to fetch $3,000. That sold for a whopping $56,250.
The auction took place on the first anniversary of Jackson’s death.
