According to Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions, which ran the auction at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas:
"It just shows you Michael Jackson is the most sought after and most collectible celebrity of all time. It was just phenomenal. People flew in from Asia, Russia, all over. Now that he's gone, we now realize the true legend we lost."
