A sequined glove worn by Michael Jackson has been sold at auction for a whopping $64,000.

Bidding for the iconic fashion piece started at $20,000, around £12,500, but fans were soon whipped into a frenzy and the winner forked out the equivalent of £41,000.

The white embellished accessory was given by the late star to his personal artist, Paul Bedard, in 1984.

Jackson commissioned the artist to create more than a dozen paintings to adorn the walls of his home, and his Neverland Ranch.

The pictures depicted historical figures including Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Albert Einstein and E.T., all wearing the glove on their right hand.

When asked about wearing the single glove during an interview with Barbara Walters in 1999, Jackson replied: “Why one glove? Cooler than two.”

As well as the glove the winning bidder received pictures of the paintings created for the Thriller singer, a photo of Bedard wearing the glove, and a declaration of authenticity.
