Michael Jackson Glove Sold For $350K, famous sequined white glove Michael Jackson wore during the world premiere of his famous Moonwalk in 1983 went for $350,000 at an auction at in New York City on Saturday.

The buyer was a Hong Kong businessman, Hoffman Ma, who told FOX News that he had come prepared to spend much more than that to own a piece of history.

“It was a fairly good discount,” said Ma, a 36-year-old lifelong Jackson fan who bought the pop-music treasure on behalf of the Ponte 16 Resort Hotel in Macau. Including taxes and fees, Ma will pay $420,000 for the rhinestone-studded, modified golf glove Jackson wore on his left hand for his infamous Moonwalk on the Motown’s 25th Anniversary TV special in 1983. Michael eventually gave the glove to Walter “Clyde” Orange, of soul group The Commodores.

The Moonwalk glove was the top-sellling item in a collection of Jackson memorabilia that went on the auction block at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square this weekend. Its pre-auction estimate was just $40,000 to $60,000. A jacket that Jackson wore on his 1989 “Bad” tour was the day’s second bestseller. It fetched $225,000 – 20 times its low estimate of $8,000.

Among the other MJ belongings that went on the hammer Saturday: a pair of sparkle-encrusted shoes, portraits of Charlie Chaplin drawn by the singing legend when he was just nine years old, a black shirt signed by Jackson, hats, a 1985 Mercedes, handwritten letters, a fedora, and travel souvenirs.

JAKARTA: The Indonesian rescue teams continued to search Saturday, as hopes faded of dozens of people missing after a 7.0 magnitude importantly, an official said.

The quake, which struck Java’s southern coast on Wednesday, triggered a landslide that buried dozens of people in the village Cikangkareng, 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of Jakarta.

“The earthquake has killed at least 65 people. The search for dozens of victims continues even though their chances of survival are slim,” Disaster Management Agency spokesman said Priyadi Kardon.

“Sometimes, heavy machinery is not enough to help rescue workers carefully lift the bodies,” he said.

The earthquake, which affected over 31,000 homes across the densely populated island of Java, also felt in nearby Bali and Sumatra.

Kardon said around 27,000 people had been evacuated.

Many victims have complained about the slow arrival of enough tents, food and medical supplies following the disaster.

Indonesia sits on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, where several tectonic plates converge.

A magnitude 7.7 earthquake triggered a tsunami off South Java, in 2006, killing 596 people and displacing around 74,000.

A massive earthquake off the coast of Sumatra island in 2004 triggered a catastrophic tsunami that killed over 200,000 people around Asia, including 168,000 in Indonesia.

BERLIN: A German auction house today sell three watercolor paintings attributed to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

The works, depicting cottages, mills, and churches nestled in rural landscapes, will go under the hammer on Sept. 5, Weidler’s auction house in Nuremberg said.

The three paintings are dated from 1910 and 1911 and originate from Vienna, where a young Hitler spent several years as a struggling artist. He then joined the army and fought in World War I.

One of the paintings, “White church in the Wachau,’’ was authenticated in 1963 by the late Peter Jahn, a renowned expert on Hitler’s early pieces.

Although the precise number of works by Hitler is unknown, Weidler said there were an estimated 723 pictures, including sketches, in existence. The auction house is expecting a five-figure sum for each picture. Earlier this year they sold two other watercolors by Hitler for a total of $45,530.
