Owning Michael Jackson's infamous moonwalk glove: priceless $350,000 plus tax.
The King of Pop's rhinestone-studded white glove was auctioned off to the highest bidder in New York City Saturday.The iconic accessory became the late star's signature after he sported the glitzy glove during a moonwalk-debuting performance at Motown's 25th anniversary TV special in 1983.
So, who took home the highly sought-after glove?
The lucky bidder was Hong Kong native Hoffman Ma, who after taxes, will pay $420,000 for the "Thriller" crooner's glove—a price, Ma said, was a bargain.
The 36-year-old fan purchased the legendary glove on behalf of the Ponte 16 Resort Hotel in Macau.
While there were more than 300 items from the likes of The Beatles to Elvis Presley in the "Music Icons" sale held by Julien's Auctions, Jackson's items seemed to be the most coveted.
The pop icon's fedora, which he also wore during his moonwalk debut performance, sold for $22,000, and a jacket from his 1989 "Bad" tour raked in $225,000.
Not a bad day in the celebration of Jackson's legacy.
