Michael Jackson's Swarovski glove sells for record 113,737 euros at Paris auction

A glove once worn by Michael Jackson, adorned with Swarovski crystals, fetched a record price of 113,737 euros at an auction in Paris. The glove was used by the singer during a rehearsal for his July 14, 1988, concert at London's Wembley Stadium.

This particular glove emerged as the most valuable item among approximately forty of the American artist's iconic objects auctioned by the Aguttes house. These items were sourced from private collectors.

Arthur Perault, head of the department at Aguttes, explained that Jackson had given the glove to a security guard after a rehearsal, noting it was quite worn. Jackson was known to have given away many items to both family members and staff.

Other Jackson memorabilia also performed well at the auction. Two similar gloves, used in performances in Seoul and Munich in 1999, sold for 36,648 euros and 32,857 euros, respectively. A "Bad World Tour" hat, embroidered with his name and signed by the artist, sold for 20,220 euros. However, a black sequined jacket known as "PROTO2," worn by Jackson in 1987 during his collaboration with Pepsi for the "Bad" era, did not reach its minimum bid of 100,000 euros and was therefore not sold.
