3. That White Sequin Rhinestone Glove
You know a glove must be really expensive when even Michael Jackson could only afford one of them. Be that as it may, this item became one of the artist’s most signature pieces, instantly recognizable because of its surface area which was infested with so many fake diamonds that if Jackson had slapped you with it, half of your face would instantly turn into spaghetti. For this reason, and perhaps the promise of still catching the scent of Jackson’s sweaty palms within its crevices, the fashion accessory went on auction with the starting price of $20,000, but crazy fans screamed and cried and eventually the winning bid had shot up to around $64,000 in total. That’s a lot of money, but you just know that whoever bought it went moonwalking all over the street that evening, the coolest kid in town.
2. A Painting Of Jackson Leading Children Away
Jackson was an avid art collector and even an overlooked drawer/painter himself, with the man’s own personal drawings valued at around $900 million in total. But from all of the countless pieces found in his possession, there weren’t many that caused quite as much concern as this oil painting. Titled Field of Dreams by David Nordahl, this bizarre scene shows Jackson walking along with a mass group of children following close behind in adoration, as if he’s some prophetic savior, here to liberate the children from their evil parents or something. And yet, somehow, the longer you inspect it, the stranger it gets, with details that include a young man looking up a girl’s skirt, and a little white boy stealing ice cream from a little black girl. Regardless, Nordahl’s artistic talent is undeniable, hence why he was commissioned to paint multiple other Jackson-centric pieces from 1988 right until the singer’s death.
