Michael Jackson’s former chauffeur is in line to receive an estimated £4 million when the VHS video featuring an unseen documentary of the King of Pop is auctioned later this month.
The chauffeur, who has asked to keep his identity secret, revealed that the legendary singer gave him the video as a bonus to reward him for his hard work in chauffeuring the star.
The footage is believed to have been filmed during Michael Jackson’s 1993 Dangerous World Tour which was filmed in Argentina. According to reports, the late singer was unhappy with the finished result and refused to use the footage, with the film crew responsible for the documentary all being sacked by Jackson as a result.
After Michael’s death in 2009, the chauffeur released a clip of the unseen documentary online, however the late star’s record label and family stepped in to stop any more leaks as they claimed exclusive rights to the footage. Although the chauffeur is unable to broadcast any of the film under American law, he is entitled to sell or transfer the material to a third party.
According to the Fame Bureau Auctioneers, who will be responsible for selling the unique item, the footage on the VHS is of a great quality and is especially exciting because of the close proximity of the cameras to Michael Jackson, and also the large number of cameras used to film the footage, giving a very in depth portrayal of the star.
The documentary has been given an estimated selling price of £4 million, although it’s likely to sell for much more.
