Michael Jackson's Jewel-Encrusted Neverland Auction
Having tried to block it for years, a broke Michael Jackson has finally agreed to auction off a large collection of his belongings. Auctioneers for Julien's Auctions were let into Neverland Ranch to ransack it.
Well, maybe 'ransack' isn't fair, but they did take a hefty amount of the poor sad ruined singer's belongings. Jewel encrusted pants, lavish statuary, various child-sized automobiles. A King of Pop's ransom in bizarre seduction toys, really. Here are a few examples:
