The glove became synonymous with Jackson’s larger than life persona after his legendary performance of “Billie Jean” during the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever special — the night he debuted the moonwalk and cemented his place as the King of Pop.
Jackson later revealed in a 1999 interview with Barbara Walters that he opted for a single glove simply because it looked “cooler than two.”
And this isn’t some knockoff. The glove comes with a paper trail linking it directly to Jackson.
According to the auction house, Jackson gifted the piece in 1984 to Paul Bedard, who collaborated with the superstar during the “Thriller” era an created artwork for his famed Neverland Ranch estate.
The lot includes extensive documentation backing its authenticity — including a signed declaration from Bedard, photos of him wearing the glove at the time, copies of Jackson’s handwritten notes and even records tied to the glove’s prior sale in 2005.
