London
(ANI):
Pop
singer
michael
jackson
is
reportedly
auctioning
2,000
items
from
the
Neverland
ranch,
which
he
quit
in
2005
after
his
acquittal
in
his
infamous
child
abuse
case.
His
treasured
possessions
will
descend
on
the
four-day
sale
in
April.
Meanwhile,
reports
have
suggested
that
Jackson
lived
like
a
king
with
crowns,
a
royal
cape,
a
suit
of
armour,
and
a
throne
in
his
bedroom.
The
singer,
who
is
currently
wrestling
with
huge
debts,
once
had
a
fortune
worth
more
than
500
million
pounds.
The
Beverly
Hills
auction
will
see
furniture,
sculptures,
items
from
Jackson"s
art
collection,
fixtures
and
fittings
from
his
mansion,
and
his
stage
costumes
go
under
the
hammer.
According
to
reports,
Jackon
is
even
selling
the
famous
gates
and
fairground
rides
at
the
38-acre
Neverland
amusement
park
in
California.
A
touring
exhibition
of
lots
will
be
in
London
next
month.
“It
seems
as
if
everything
he
owns
is
made
of
bronze,
marble
and
gold," the
Daily
Star
quoted
auctioneer
Michael
Doyle
as
saying.
The
auction
catalogue
has
been
lovingly
produced.

of
Pop
michael
jackson
Amusements,
arcade
games
