A huge public auction is being held this April where over 2,000 of Michael Jackson's personal belongings will go under the hammer.

Held over five days at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Jackson himself has helped organise the exhibition where he hopes to raise millions of dollars to improve his financial situation.

Ranging from the a 1999 limousine worth a massive £112,000 to inane pieces of household cutlery like salt and pepper shakers worth a few dollars, the sale is so extensive that a six-volume book has been printed to detail every lot.

Other items on sale include the iconic diamond encrusted gloves Jackson wore on the Thriller video, the gates to his Neverland Ranch, a touring coach, paintings of the King of Pop, Johnny Depp's gloves he wore in Edward Scissorhands and much more...
