This film goes behind the scenes to reveal Michael Jackson's private collection and the sale that never was.

Michael Jackson, the biggest selling artist of his generation and the undisputed 'King of Pop', died at his Beverley Hills home at the age of 50. Only two months earlier a planned auction of 1,400 items from the singer's Neverland Ranch in California had been called off.

Michael Jackson Not For Sale is the story of the sale that never was and a chance to look at the weird and wonderful stuff that he collected at his ranch . From iconic stage costumes to private collections of artwork and a child-like fascination with Hollywood memorabilia, this film gives a unique glimpse into the spending habits of a super-celebrity who loved to shop.

Before his death, Michael Jackson, one of the world's greatest ever stars, broke box-office records with a planned comeback tour at the O2 in London. This programme gives a rare glimpse into Michael Jackson's innermost world and looks back over the financial highs and lows of his career, from his peak as the highest-earning entertainer ever, to the point where he almost lost it all.
