Michael Jackson's glove more precious than Albert Einstein's brain!
It was Michael Jackson magic at full force at the Icons and Idols auction, organized by Julien’s Auctions, in Beverly Hills. A single-studded glove worn by the late King of pop on his “Bad” tour in the late 1980’s sold for $330,000, whereas an X-ray of Albert Einstein’s brain managed to command a meagerly sum of $38,750.
According to Contactmusic,
The items, a fedora which sold for $72,000 and a glove which reached $330,000, were part of the star’s wardrobe for his ‘Bad’ tour in 1980s and were sold through Julien’s Auctions as part of their ‘Icons and Idols’ sale. A jacket signed by the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker - who died from acute Propofol intoxication aged 50 in June 2009 - was bought for $96,000.While the Michael Jackson collection - featuring over 100 items from the star’s life and career including a custom-made costume for his friend and companion Bubbles the chimp - took centre stage at the auction in Beverly Hills, a number of other items generated huge interest at the sale. Late Beatles legend John Lennon’s gold-braided military jacket - made famous in an iconic 1966 Life magazine photo shoot - reached $240,000, exceeding its estimated word of $150,000 and $200,000. An X-ray of Albert Einstein’s brain went for $38,750, while a pair of Marilyn Monroe’s empty prescription bottles, sold for $18,750.
So now you know why Michael Jackson’s Bad era is considered so holy by his fans and followers. The result of this recent auction only strengthens the fact that Jacko was the greatest entertainer ever to live on this planet. Salute to the King of Pop!
