One of the world's most famous pieces of pop memorabilia, Michael Jackson's white sequined glove was sold for $350,000 at a memorabilia auction in New York City. The hotel will open a gallery early next year to showcase the glove and nine other Jackson items from the auction. Among the nine other items that Ponte 16 bought were a pair of sequin-encrusted socks, portraits of Charlie Chaplin drawn by Jackson as a child, and a shirt he wore in his iconic "Thriller" video.

Hoffman Ma, representing Ponte 16 Resort Hotel in Macau, will pay a total US$420,000 once taxes and fees are included, was sold for nine times the expected price. It was valued at $40,000 to $60,000 before the auction. The opening bid of US$10,000 leaped immediately to $120,000, before peaking at $350,000.

The glove was wore by Michael Jackson during his performance at the Motown's 25th Anniversary TV special in 1983, when he premiered the "moonwalk" to the world. After the 1983 performance, Michael Jackson gave Walter Orange the glove after Orange insisted the pop star's performance would make him more famous.


澳門十六浦度假村酒店行政副總裁馬浩文以35萬美元天價, 投得已故天王米高積遜首次表演「月步」時戴的水晶手套。 手套連同拍賣行的佣金和稅項共須支付42萬美元。 該手套將置于公索菲特大酒店內向游人展示。 十六浦除了投得積遜的水晶白手套外, 還投得其餘九件積遜珍品。 計有:

- 積遜一九八一年親自繪畫並簽名的差利卓別靈畫像
- 「We Are The World」親筆簽名海報
- 由世界著名舞台服飾設計師Bill Mhitten親自設計的一雙施華洛水晶襪
- 演唱Triller時穿過的Zombie襯衫
- 積遜親筆簽名「Bad」RIAA白金唱片獎
- 演唱「Men in Black II」時所穿的西裝
- 積遜「Motown 25」親筆簽名相片
- 兩張親筆簽名相片

米高積遜手套拍賣會在紐約舉行。 拍賣會氣氛非常熱烈, 吸引了來自澳洲、迪拜、法國、香港、日本的買家競投。 外界原先估計這隻手套賣價為4萬美元, 如今成交價差不多是其9倍。 成交價遠超預期。 手套底價一萬美元, 但承第一口價已叫到十二萬美元。 朱利安拍賣行給這只手套標出的預估價格是四萬到六萬美元, 但實際拍出的價格遠遠高出這一數字。

米高在1983年莫頓唱片公司二十五周年電視特輯上首次表演moonwalk時, 僅在左手上佩戴一隻嵌滿白水晶的閃亮手套, 成為一時潮流。 這隻手套仍然留有「韓國製造」的標籤。
