Among all the items, the white rhinestone glove was the most outstanding piece. Ponte 16 successfully bid the iconic glove at nearly 8 times more than the auctioneer’s minimum estimated price at US$350,000 under vigorous competition.

Ponte 16 is planning to open a Michael Jackson gallery in the hotel for exhibiting all MJ’s iconic items including trendsetter, cultural relics to make Ponte 16 a gathering place in Asia for his fans. These precious items can revitalise Michael Jackson’s legendary career to all his fans, providing them another place to house Michael Jackson memorabilia besides the Neverland Ranch in California. Ponte 16 aims to create a “Rendezvous” to reminisce this great performer of the 20th century.”
