Celebrating a Legend | The Michael Jackson Bejeweled Statue
Friday, August 30th, 2013



The King of Pop’s birthday was commemorated in style yesterday. From video marathons to hour long radio mix tributes and even a themed tribute party at Le Poisson Rouge Friday night in New York City, Michael Jackson’s birthday was celebrated in grand splendor.

While his memories and hits are plentiful, the King of Pop has so many items to be remembered by. From his famed property on Neverland Ranch, to the sparkly glove he wore, and red leather “Beat It” jacket, the list is almost endless. Another item has been added to the list. A specially designed statue of the King striking one of his legendary dance poses has been released just in time to add to the celebration. The artist, Jeff Koons, is known for other Michael Jackson pieces including a $10 million gold piece.

This statue is designed with white and yellow gold and sits on a black jade base. The statue is adorned with 505 diamonds and 45 pieces of sapphire which gives the statue a weight of 395 grams. This collectible is available via Bon-Cadeau, a Russian boutique. The cost? A whopping $380,000.
