This auction could be a thriller.
Michael Jackson’s iconic white glove and more than 2,000 other items from Neverland will go under the hammer in April – including his throne, his Rolls-Royce, three suits of armor, fine paintings, costumes, baubles, massive statuary, awards, furniture and even the gates to the ranch.

“Michael Jackson was a collector of everything,” said Darren Julien, president of Julien’s Auctions, which will conduct the sale from April 22 to 25 in Beverly Hills. “We’ve never seen a collection that is as extensive and eccentric as his.”
A 1995 portrait of Jacko in Elizabethan dress, holding a crown on a pillow is estimated to fetch $4,000 to $6,000, and the gold-painted throne that sat outside bedroom has an estimated value of $1,500 to $2,500.
A 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph limo with an interior the star adorned with 24-karat gold doodads could fetch $140,000 to $160,000.
“It looks like something that royalty would ride in,” Julien said.
The glittery white glove Jackson wore for his stage performance of “Billie Jean” is estimated to fetch $10,000 to $15,000, and a special-effects robotic Michael Jackson head made for the 1988 film “Moonwalker” could fetch between $2,000 to $3000.
Jackson moonwalked away from Neverland after he was acquitted of child-molestation charges in Santa Barbara County in 2005 and never went back.
In November, the cash-strapped singer transferred ownership of the ranch to the Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. – but you can bid on its gates, estimated to go for $20,000 to $30,000.
The conservative estimate for the total value of all the items on the block is $1.5 million to $3 million.
Jackson, who gave his blessing to the auction but kept pieces for himself “that were personal and sentimental,” will get the proceeds except for a portion to benefit MusiCares, a charity, Julien said.
There will be a preview of auction items from March 24 until March 29 at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square.
