Jacko Appreciates Fans, By Charging $3,400 a Handshake

Posted Mar 8th 2007 11:31AM by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson loves his fans ... and their money.

Three hundred Jacko fanatics shelled out ¥400,000 (roughly $3,400 US) for the chance to meet Michael in Tokyo, getting only a minute each with the retired pop star. Decked out in a hideous black suit covered with little yellow lions, MJ was hands-on with his fans, posing for photos and signing autographs for the frenzied bunch.

As if the steep ticket price weren't enough, the "lucky" fans had to wait an hour in the cold for Michael to arrive. Way to give a little back, Jacko.

3. This man thinks he's so important that he can charge $3400 for a moment out of his busy schedule of molesting children, and people are buying into his bullshit! That's what's even more unbelievable! I certainly wouldn't want him to get hands-on with me!

4. the people that paid that much to see him are just as bizarre as he is. i got better things to do with $3,400. maybe in another life (the 70's&80's) Michael would have been worth that kinda loot for a handshake!!

5. Those who paid should be ashamed of themselves. The next time they wake up and notice they have $3,400.00 disposable income, perhaps they could write a check to their local Children Protective Services organization.

10. Michael Jackson only went to Japan because he can assure himself that his dick is bigger than any little asian boys, puberty or not.
