Jackson Gives Blessing on Neverland Auction


Fans of the King of Pop may soon have the opportunity to own a piece of his former estate.
Michael Jackson has given his blessing to Julien's Auctioneers and their attempts to raise money by selling off items in his former residence, the Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
In November of last year, the cash-strapped singer transferred ownership of the ranch to the Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. - but left many items on the premises.
Julien's will be auctioning nearly two-thousand of those items from April 22 - 25. The estimated total value of all the items on the block is $1.5 million to $3 million.
Jackson is reported to have already gone through the home and kept pieces for himself "that were personal and sentimental."
The singer will get the proceeds from the auction except for a portion to benefit MusiCares, a charity that helps musicians when they are down and out.
Up for grabs are several of Jacksons rhinestone studded gloves and socks. His 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph limo, and the gates to the Neverland Ranch.
For a preview of the items up for grabs you can visit the Julien website by clicking here.

Thank you for this! I've been looking all over for new pictures to post in the auction thread and some of those I have had yet to see.

You have to wonder why he is selling off some of his awards....

[GinnyJackson]

am i the only one wondering why these items are going so cheaply?

I did notice however that the proceeds are going to a well known chrity. So thats good.

And yea why is he getting rid of his awards? those would be something i would want to keep if i earned them.

[hopespringseternal]

I would think if any of it was dear to him he'd kept it, obviously it isn't and he's selling what he feels he doesn't need to keep.

I dont believe that..... I think in some ways its all dear to him its just he hasnt got the room for it. Although the awards are another story.....

I feel bad that he feels he has to sell any of his things but they are his so he can do what he pleases with them... Me for one i would Love to have something from this but i dont have the extra cash to bid.

I love Michael as much as the next fan but hes doing what he feels he must so we have to support him. He is giving some of it to cherity so its all good...

It is up to Michael.

you know, i think it was because it was like a child being violated..yes..i said it..in that his personal paradise was violated by those disgusting 'cops'. i dare say he wants to distance himself from that sullying memory. when you consider what they did to him, personally as well as to his property on more than one occasion...it's metaphorically like an episode of that predator show in america. so..now..mostly..it's just...things to MJ, now, i dare say. i can't think of any other reason for him to depart from most of it. who would've thought that anything could seperate him from such a personal place..but something did. something vile. in a way, it never loooked like he got closure from those vile 'people', with Sneddon in the lead. maybe this is a start. i feel like i needed to say this, cus..in a way, it feels personal to me...i know it's MJ, not me..but....this is one of many ways he is special to me. i felt like i was violated, when Neverland was violated. and even if this post gets deleted...it was worth it to get it off my chest..even if i am way off base on MJ's feelings on this...which i dare say..i doubt.

[GinnyJackson]

i agree with most of what you said. But why is he getting rid of the painting of Prince? thats his son wouldnt you want to keep something like that?

And the awards. I know i keep going on and on about them but he earned them and should keep them.

[hopespringseternal]

It is up to Michael.

That should be the end of it.

[GinnyJackson]

That should be the end of it.

yes you are right.
