The late King of Pop, Michael Jackson's famous 'Bad' jacket he wore during his famous 'Bad Tour' went on auction at the annual Icons and Idols Auction Event, and netted a whooping $240, 000!
The auction, administered by the Julien's Auctions Beverly Hills Gallery in Los Angeles, had on display a range of the pop star's clothing, costumes and accessories designed by his long-time costume designers, Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins.
MJ's very popular Swarovski crystal encrusted gloves sold for $100, 000 each as did other performance costumes. Among the celebrities on hand at the auction were Lady Gaga, who tweeted that she bought 55 pieces in the sale, and that she plans to keep the items "archived and expertly cared for in the spirit and love of Michael Jackson, his bravery and fans worldwide."
Other items up for sale include a pair of black spandex pants, a long-sleeve shirt and mesh tuck strap, worn by the King of Pop in his hugely popular 'Scream' video.
The auction raised more than $5 million , with some proceeds going to Guide Dogs of America and Nathan Adelson Hospice of Las Vegas.
