Michael Jackson - Jackson Glove Will Be Main Attraction At Macau Hotel Gallery

A rhinestone-studded glove once worn by MICHAEL JACKSON is set to go on display in a hotel in the Chinese territory of MACau after selling at auction for more than $350,000 (£219,000).

The iconic glove, worn by the late superstar when he debuted his trademark Moonwalk dance move in 1983, was snapped up by Hong Kong resident Hoffman Ma when it went under the hammer in New York on Saturday (21Nov09).

Ma made the purchase on behalf of the luxury Ponte 16 gaming resort in MACau, where he serves as deputy chief executive, and the owners plan to show off the piece of pop memorabilia next year (10) in a specially-built gallery.

Ponte 16 hotel and casino spokeswoman Jennie Yeung says, "Michael Jackson is a legendary entertainer and so it was very important to buy some of his collectibles.

"We're definitely planning to exhibit the glove with some of the other items we bought."

Nine other Jackson items won in the Julien's Auctions Music Icons Sale will also be put on display, including a pair of sequined socks and a shirt the King of Pop wore in his Thriller video.
