LONDON - An auction of celebrity memorabilia, including late pop legend Michael Jackson’s iconic Swarovski crystal glove and a velvet ball gown worn by Princess Diana, has pulled in $1 million at Julien’s first Asian pop culture sale.

Hundreds of items which once belonged to the “Thriller” hitmaker and fellow superstars went under the hammer Saturday at the Ponte 16 resort in Macau, China, reports gossipblender.com.

Jackson’s black crystal glove went for $180,000 to an unidentified Internet bidder, while another online buyer picked up a basketball signed by the tragic singer and Michael Jordan for a staggering $245,000.

Other lots which sold included memorabilia from “Ghostbusters”, the “Batman” film franchise and “The Last Samurai”.
