Michael Jackson offered $1 million for the bones of which person?
King Tut
Howard Hughes
Malcolm X
The Elephant Man
Fact: In 1987, Michael Jackson offered $1 million to buy the skeleton of the “Elephant Man” to add to his collection of rare and unusual memorabilia. The London Hospital Medical College, where the skeleton is on display, politely turned down Jackson’s offer. John Merrick, who is better known as the “Elephant Man” was a hideously deformed man with a rare disease who died in 1890 and inspired the hit movie ‘Elephant Man.’ In rejecting the offer, the hospital said the skeleton was not for sale. The skeleton of the Elephant Man has been preserved at the Royal London Hospital ever since 1890, the year of his death.
Correct Answer: The Elephant Man
