Michael Jackson Memorabilia Hit Jackpot at Anniversary

Michael Jackson's memorabilia fetched surprising prices at an auction to mark the pop icon's first death anniversary.

The big sale of clothing, documents, and furniture in Las Vegas has only just started and already experts at Julien's Auctions have been left staggered by the huge amounts the items are fetching, reported Contactmusic.

A custom-made jacket, which was expected to go for $8,000, sold for a whopping $120,000, while an autograph the late pop superstar gave to a fan the day before he died fetched $21,000. That was 26 times more than its estimate!

Michael Jackson's signed white fedora hat, which was expected to go for $3,000 was sold for $56,250!
