Like any international megastar, Jackson's identity and legacy was inextricably linked to the objects he interacted with - be it the clothes he wore on stage, the antiques and priceless objects he acquired or the merchandise that his image sold.
From his iconic right-hand glove, covered in Swarovski crystals, and his military-style jackets to his own personal action doll and the vast collection of eccentric items he bought for outlandish sums of money, Jackson always showed a unique taste.
During his recent times of looming bankruptcy, the public saw more and more of this memorabilia go up for auction.
