A bejeweled white glove Michael Jackson threw to an Australian fan more than a decade ago sold at auction Sunday for $48,400.
Warwick Stone, a buyer for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, beat out five other bidders for the late King of Pop’s glove, said Charlotte Stanes, spokeswoman for the Melbourne auction house Bonhams and Goodman. MJ visited Australia in 1996 as part of his “HIStory World Tour“. While in Sydney, he attended the Australian premiere for the film “Ghosts,” in which he had a starring role. At the end of the screening, he tossed the glove at audience member Bill Hibble, who has since died.
