Michael Jackson’s bedroom suite sold for $25,075
The contents of the mansion where Michael Jackson's lifeless body was found went under the auction hammer this weekend, reaping three times pre-sale estimates for a total of close to $1 million, the Reuters reports.
Among the highlights was a Victorian Revival-style bedroom suite that sold for $25,075. The set includes an armoire on whose ornate mirror the "Thriller" singer wrote a message in felt pen: "Train, perfection March April Full out May" -- presumably a reference to rehearsals for London's "This Is It" concerts set to start that July.
Other highlights included an 18th-century French clock, which sold for $9,375, a Regency-style desk ($4,375) and "Venus Blinding Cupid," an oil painting modeled on one by 16th-century artist Titian ($11,250).
