Michael Jackson died five years ago today, but the musical icon continues to lord over pop culture, as sales of the new Xscape and box office for his Cirque du Soleil shows indicate.
He’s no slouch on eBay either.
In the past 46 weeks, sales of Michael Jackson merchandise have generated $2.31 million from 86,385 items, according to Terapeak.
More than $7,87 million in Jackson goods were on the block, the ecommerce firm reports.
In the past 90 days, the most expensive item purchased was a Billie Jean rehearsal jacket owned and worn on stage by the King of Pop. It sold for $20,101.
Ranking second is a shadowbox with a Thriller album and gold singles accompanied by a letter signed by Jackson. Price: $12,000.
