Michael Jackson’s Thriller jacket worth $1.8 million

I can’t believe it has been two years since Michael Jackson passed away. But he didn’t leave just a legacy behind, the style icon also left a part of his persona too. Recently his famous famed black-and-red calfskin jacket that he donned for the classic Thriller video went under the hammer at Julien's Auctions at Beverly Hills. The Jacket has been picked up for a staggering $1.8 million by Milton Verret, who is a commodities trader from Austin. This is one of the two MJ wore for the video way back in the 1983 Thriller video. This particular jacket can be seen in the scene where he performs a routine amidst a troupe of zombies who rise from their graves.

Bottle of Romanée Conti fetches a new auction record

Red or white, Americans are passionate about their wines. Last week during Christie’s fine-wine auction in Geneva, a 1945 Romanée Conti sold for a record-breaking amount. The investor was a private U.S. collector who paid a whopping € 87,000 ($123,900) for a bottle of Burgundy. A little bit of research about this particular wine revealed that only 600 bottles of wines were produced during the end of World War II, before the outbreak of phylloxera. So what do you do with this most expensive bottle of wine? Of-course you save it for the next occasion.
