Janet Jackson, sister of late Michael Jackson, has decided to sell a collection of personal items in a celebrity auction next month.
Intent on making sure her 55th birthday weekend will be one to remember for fans across the world, Janet Jackson has finally agreed to auction more than 1,000 pieces from a career spanning four decades.
Moreso, the star who has sold over 185 million records has partnered with celebrity auctioneer Julien’s to host the three-day sale in Beverly Hills from 14 May.

A rare exhibition of Jackson’s costumes and memorabilia will be displayed for fans at the Hard Rock Cafe in London on 19 April. This, however, for five days, before the collection is transferred to New York and then on to Los Angeles ahead of the auction.
Moreso, her other famous items include her ‘Rhythm Nation’ military jacket, arguably one of her most memorable outfits, and her famous, single silver-tone hoop earring with a hanging key.
“Janet has never done anything like this before. We’ve approached her so many times, and it has always been very hard to find anything at auction from her because she kept and archived everything,” said Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien’s Auctions.
No doubt, Janet Jackson remains the only female artist in history to score seven top-five singles from one album.
