Hoffman Ma is the lucky buyer of Michael Jackson Moonwalk glove. The glove was sold at $350000 (tax excluded) today at an auction by Julien’s Auctions in Los Angeles. The overall price of Michael Jackson Glove including the taxes reached $420000.
Michael Jackson wore the shimmering white glove when he introduced the Moonwalk on stage in 1983. Hoffman Ma bought the glove on behalf of Ponte 16 Resort Hotel in Macau. The auction was very tense as the price keep going up. He was undervalued by some while he was alive and his death now shows his real unimaginable value.

42k is alot for a glove but is 1.5 million alot for a solid silver statue of him by artist Billa Dhand?
Extreme John
As talented as Michael Jackson was, there isn’t a chance in the world I would pay $42k for a glove of his. Craziness.

Michael was NEVER undervalued by those who truly knew and loved him. He was only undervalued by the MEDIA and the FOOLS who believed the TRASH and LIES the media spewed about him.
R.I.P. Prince Charming, your value is PRICELESS.
Kurt Avish
Yes he was never…but you know there are some fools out there who says MJ was a racist or he was what the media image created of him. We as fans we know he wasn’t but there are fools who are blinded by all-for-fame-only media.

Footnote:
This hat was originally sold as lot 800, Sotheby’s New York, 18th June 1988, having been donated by Michael Jackson to be auctioned on behalf of the T. J. Martell Foundation. The catalogue entry at the time erroneously described it as worn for the ‘Billie Jean’ video, but it is believed it may actually be the hat Michael wore at the beginning of his performance of the song in the ‘Motown 25-Yesterday, Today, Forever’ TV special in March 1983. This celebrated Tamla Motown’s 25th anniversary, with appearances by the label’s legendary names and also marked the first public performance of Michael’s now-famous moonwalk.
