The late King of Pop's famous white glove has been auctioned. It fetched a whopping 44,300 pounds at a Hollywood auction. The illuminated white glove got popularised after Michael Jackson wore it on his 1984 Victory Tour.

The glove, which belonged to the late superstar's "suit of lights", was described as "the ultimate piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia". The white mitt, which was adorned with shining beads and crystal rhinestones, was fitted with 50 tiny lights, powered by a nine-volt battery in the cuff.

Other big sellers included a Stormtrooper's helmet from 1983 film 'Return of the Jedi' (51,600 pounds), a figure from Predator and Predator 2 (nearly 30,000 pounds) and an ET puppet from a UK BT advert (20,300 pounds).
