‘Thriller’ Jacket Sells for $1.8M

The red-and-black leather jacket that Michael Jackson wore in the music video for “Thriller” has sold to a Texas gold trader for $1.8 million. It’s one of two jackets Jackson wore in the video; the Jackson estate owns the other. The man who bought it, Milton Verrett of Austin, plans to show it at the Dell’s Children’s Hospital in Austin, before sending it on a worldwide tour of charity events.
