The shimmering, white glove Michael Jackson wore when he premiered his trademark moonwalk dance in 1983 was auctioned off for $350,000 — plus tax — on Saturday.
Winning bidder Hoffman Ma of Hong Kong will pay $420,000, including taxes and fees, for the rhinestone-studded, modified golf glove Jackson wore for his moonwalk on Motown’s 25th anniversary TV special. The glove was the top item in a collection of Jackson memorabilia on the block at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York’s Times Square. Its pre-auction estimate was $40,000 to $60,000.
The pop icon, who died on June 25 at the age of 50, had given the glove to Walter “Clyde” Orange, of the singing group the Commodores. A jacket that Jackson wore on his 1989 “Bad” tour fetched $225,000 — 20 times its low estimate of $8,000. The sale, held by Los Angeles-based Julien’s Auctions, also included a fedora Jackson wore for the moonwalk. It sold for $22,000, against a $2,000 high estimate.
