New Idea

STRAPPED FOR CASH?

-

Janet Jackson is raising eyebrows by selling off her possession­s! The pop star, once worth a rumoured $190 million, has arranged to auction off more than 1000 pieces of historical memorabili­a from her four-decade career.

Among the one-of-a-kind items are furniture, jewellery and even a wedding dress from her secret 1991 nuptials to dancer René Elizondo Jr.

Auction director Martin Nolan told The Observer that it has been “an incredible cathartic project” for Janet and that she’s personally hand-picked the items up for sale.

Many of Janet’s stage and music video costumes are also up for grabs, including her iconic ‘Rhythmben’s Nation’ military jacket, which is priced at $6000.

Nolan estimates the upcoming auction will achieve multimilli­ondollar sales, with Janet set to donate a portion of the proceeds to the

Compassion Internatio­nal charity.
