We’ve seen a lot of knock-offs of MJ’s Thriller jacket, that’s how widely it took a life of its own. There was a time in the eighties when the practically all the cool guys had one, these imitations probably didn’t cost them much for there were so many. The original however, was sold at $1.8 million. There are two existing originals of the famous jacket, both worn by the King of Pop for the Thriller video. One belongs to the Jackson estate and the other was sold by Julien’s auction house in Beverly Hills. The famous thriller jacket was sold to help fund children’s hospitals all over the world. Milton Verret, of Austin, Texas won the bidding war against dozens of bidders from all over.
