Michael Jackson's Glove is Worth More Than Me

Michael Jackson's glove was auctioned off the other day and ended up selling for $350,000. Reuters has the gruesome details:

Michael Jackson's famous white glove sold for $350,000 at a memorabilia auction on Saturday, soaring far past pre-sale estimates, while a black jacket he wore during a 1989 world tour fetched $225,000.

The Jackson memorabilia was the highlight of an auction of hundreds of rock'n'roll items, including many not associated with the "King of Pop," who died in June.

It would take me 16 lifetimes to make that much money, and that's if I live to be 146 in 3 of the lifetimes. That would normally make me sad, but it's a friggin' glove. I can buy one at Dollar General for 35 cents. Hmm, I think I will. Winter's coming.
