Remember that red jacket the King of Pop Michael Jackson wore in the mini-movie music video “Thriller”?
Maybe you (like me) even bought a “faux” Thriller jacket because it was the cool thing to wear.
The difference between the one you have in storage and the MJ original is $1.8 million dollars.
According to Darren Julien, president and CEO of Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, the jacket was purchased Sunday by Milton Verret, a commodities trader from Austin. As in Texas.
Verret says the jacket will be sent on tour and used as a fundraising tool for children’s charities.
A portion of the sale price will go to the Shambala Preserve, a big cat sanctuary caring for two tigers Jackson once owned.
