Michael Jackson never returned to Neverland Ranch
Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was sold to billionaire Ron Burkle for $22 million in 2015, after being on and off the market for over five years. The property, originally known as Zaca Laderas Ranch, was transformed into a sprawling private estate by property developer William Bone in the 1980s. Jackson purchased the 2,700-acre property in 1988 and renamed it Neverland, inspired by Peter Pan.
The estate featured a French country-style main house, a movie theater, a train station, a full amusement park, a private zoo, and Katherine Station, named after Jackson's mother. After Jackson's death in 2009, the estate faced financial problems and the once extravagant property gradually returned to its original name, Sycamore Valley Ranch.
