Michael Jackson Hair are as Good as Diamonds Now
July 24th, 2009 by Brian
Remember that controversial commercial that Michael Jackson did in the 80’s? Well if you haven’t, you may have heard by now that Jackson was the center of concern back then when his hair caught fire. And while many were concerned about the well-being of the King of Pop, executive producer had no idea that the charred hair would be worth millions (close to diamonds).
Ever since Jackson’s death, a lot of his belongings have skyrocketed in terms of market value. And now, even his hair seems to be among those rare memorabilia.
As seen on the now famous video, Cohen threw his jacket over Jackson’s head to help extinguish the flames. As Jackson was being rushed off the set and to the hospital, Cohen instinctively, picked up the charred lock of hair and put it in his pocket- where it remained undisturbed for 25 years until Jackson’s death last month.
“The provenance and authenticity of this lock of hair is impeccable, including the highly publicized video showing the original owner of the hair using his Armani jacket to extinguish Jackson’s hair, said John Reznikoff. “This jacket was included with the purchase of the hair.”
A portion will remain in Reznikoff’s collection. Another portion is being used by Chicago-based LifeGem to create a small number of certified, high quality laboratory diamonds.
