5. Macaulay Culkin Collectibles
The long-term Culkin/Jackson friendship may have raised some conservative eyebrows, but in actual fact, it turned out to be one of Jackson’s greatest defenses. The two became friends around 1990 when Macaulay was about 10 years old, and they spent a lot of time together, running around the ranch, sleeping in Jackson’s bed, best of buddies despite their 22 year age difference. When the topic of Jackson’s misconduct allegations hit the press many years later, multiple publications looked back at the duo’s peculiar companionship as a potential red flag. But Culkin stood firm, dismissing the accusations as “absolutely ridiculous”, and even giving this as a testimonial under oath during Jackson’s 2005 trial. This makes it a little less creepy that Jackson owns an original Culkin finger painting and a signed Culkin headshot, especially when considering that Jackson’s second child, Paris, is Culkin’s goddaughter.
4. A Crown And Throne
After being dubbed the King of Pop for so many years, the title started to go to Jacko’s head a bit, and eventually he decided that, yes, he was royalty after all. He then probably lifted some expensive telephone to his magical ear and promptly ordered a throne and a crown, so that he could sit alone in his gigantic house, improvising songs about himself being the king. Of course, as everyone knows, Elvis Presley was the true king and seeing as Jackson did marry Elvis’ daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, this would technology make him the Prince. But that name was already taken by Prince, and so it’s just a royal mess really. Even worse is that there was no actual gold used in the making of this throne, but seeing as Michael’s special bum had sat on its surface, it was still auctioned off for around $1,200 – $1,800 after he died.
