JAKARTA - Michael Jackson's memorabilia will soon be auctioned off. The item is an identical jacket to the Thriller costume.

The red jacket with a black motif was very iconic as the Thriller song exploded. Naturally, the price of the auction touched fantastic numbers.

Although the jacket being auctioned was not the one worn while filming the MV, Michael wore the costume several times during promotions. This is explained in the details of the items to be auctioned.

This costume was previously owned by Frank DiLeo, manager of The King of Pop itself from 1983 to 1989. He then sold it to a specialist boutique for rare collections and luxury goods, Sotheby's.

On April 12, they will hold an auction for the jacket through the 'Gotta Have Rock and Roll' website. The auction will be opened at a price of 100 thousand dollars, or around 1.58 billion rupiah.

The value of this iconic costume itself is estimated to be in the range of 300 to 500 thousand dollars, equivalent to 4.76 billion rupiah. The price is commensurate for one of these valuable memorabilia.
