The Most Expensive Leather Jacket

The leather jacket that Michael Jackson wore for the music video of Thriller is given credit as the priciest leather jacket in the world. The iconic piece sold for $1.8 million to Milton Verret. The purchase was made through Julien’s Auctions, a company based in California that specializes in objects previously owned by celebrities.

The King of Pop first wore the famous red jacket for his hit music video back in 1983. John Landis was the video’s director and his wife, Deborah Nadoolman Lansid, was in charge of coming up with the design for the jacket. We bet you can easily recall what it looks like—that’s how memorable the piece is. Since its first appearance, the jacket has inspired numerous fashion trends.
