Well, while speaking about this amazingly beautiful glove and its auction, the person who was lucky enough to buy it deserves to be mentioned. It was Hoffman Ma of Hong Kong who won the bid on last Saturday and bought the glove for $420,000, including the taxes and fees. Hoffman Ma bid for this white glove on behalf of the Ponte 16 Resort Hotel in Macau and was delighted in saying that it was a fairly good discount for him. This 36 years old person from Hong Kong is one of the biggest fans of Jackson and hence, didn’t make a single mistake of loosing this golden chance.

After getting sold at such a sky-high price it will be totally tough to believe for one that the pre-auction estimate for this glove was $40,000 to $60,000 only. Before the glove got finally sold out, it was kept in Jackson memorabilia on the block at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square.

The thrill and the excitement of the fans of the pop star can be realized in the auction only where when the price of the glove was raising high and high the fans were going mad in excitement and with loud screams. So, this Music Icon ruled the whole session of the auction leaving everybody amazed and pried.
