During the 1990s and early 2000s, Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was one of the most well known pieces of real estate on the planet. It was Jackson's personal home and had everything a child could imagine. Arcade games, carnival rides, a movie theater, zoo, train, 4 acre lake with waterfall, and plenty of sycamore trees to decorate and shade the property. Jackson would own the ranch from 1988 to his death in 2009 (losing his majority share in 2006). After the revelations in the documentary Leaving Neverland, fans have had to look at the pop star and Neverland Ranch's legacy in a new light and as of the December 2020, after being on the market since Jackson's death, the ranch finally found a new owner. It sat abandoned and only minimally maintained during that time. Now we have to wait and see what the new owner plans to do with the property. Join me in this video as we explore the origins, highlights, and downfall of Neverland Ranch.
Corrections in order they appear in the video:
1. Please acknowledge this was episode two of the series, and one of the first on the revival of the channel. Yes, the voice over was not perfect, not every single bit of research was perfect, the writing could have been better, but the main aspects of the story are accurate. To further ask for forgiveness, I posted this with less than 300 subscribers to my channel.
2. There is a popping noise right when the Earth starts spinning in the beginning that slip passed me in the final edits.
3. The intro music is deliberately louder the 2nd half of the intro, however your ability to distiguish this greatly depends on what device you are watching the video on.
4. He only had one zipper ride, not four.
5. One of the sources I consulted suggested that as a part of his debt, he was paying $1,000,000 for staff at the ranch annually. Logic and California Labor laws disagree with this. This figure and the number of staff he had came from two different sources.
6. What the police found at the ranch and confiscated are accurate. They found two photography books depicting explicit young boys and girls, but found much more normal adult entertainment material.
7. I have read the name Sotheby's close to a hundred times, but had never heard it said out loud. I naively didn't think to check the pronunciation before recording.
Before commenting your correction or sharing your distaste for the video, please see the current list of corrections in the description.
Correction 6 is still inaccurate. Possession of cp is a criminal offense. If there had been any present, he would have been convicted. I’ve actually seen video footage of the police during the raid where they admit to have found nothing incriminating.
@@chuckbrunty152 Ya I just researched it myself, official sources (FBI, the Santa Barbara police department, and Judge Melville, the judge of Jacksons trial) are saying correction 6 is not true, at all! What are references.
All I know is that I wouldn't have said shit as a kid as long as I could keep visiting Neverland Ranch anytime I wanted.
I would be his smorgasbord 🤭
Haha I'm kidding.
He would have had to give me a tip every now and then.
Stop making allegations that were disproven against Michael, he was aquited and he's dead so he can no longer defend himself.

I spent one incredible day at the ranch for the birthday party of his dermatologist. Played video games in the guest building, rode the ferris wheel, watched a movie in the movie theater, got to see all of the animals, had lunch by the pool and dinner in Michael's dining room. The staff waited on guests hand and foot, and there was a phone system to call them up to operate rides or do whatever you needed. We had free use of the many electric golf carts on property. I had the opportunity to stay the night in the main house, but stupidly decided I should head back for my home in Orange County. It was one of those experiences you can never forget--I only wish we didn't have to turn in all cell phones or cameras before coming onto the property. But I did receive an autographed menu of Neverland Ranch that I will keep the rest of my days. And I' hope to always have the memories from that day. Thanks for the video!
If u would said something negative you would had more likes unfortunately.. sounds like u had a decent time .
@@jaymack6864 sounds like YOU are very incompetent when it comes to grammar . I had to re-read your comment a couple of times to somewhat understand .
@@jeepkid8068 wtf are you talking about Smd I’m not even talking to you
There appears that there are a lot of young boys that had one of those experiences you can never forget.
@@stupadasol5911 doubtful, since there weren't any underage people at the birthday party of the dermatologist. You probably should stay on topic instead of casting aspersions on people you don't know just for some kind of online cred.
I grew up a few miles from Neverland Ranch. Michael would dress up occasionally as a homeless man to be around normal people. You could tell if you looked closely, but the people that knew let it slide so he could have a little bit of normalcy. I never went on the property but have friends that did.
Yet he did everything he could to live abnormally
@@LisaRichards_123 No, he had severe emotional trauma from childhood and desperately tried to cope with it by living what he lost out on as an adult. He wasn’t TRYING to be abnormal, he was just different. Which makes sense, his upbringing was unique.
@@ChokeslamToHell Exactly, MJ was a superstar since he was a child, and did not know the world outside of recording studio and the stage and he got bigger and bigger as he got older and ended up as the most famous human on the planet. So, it's very obvious that his life would not be similar to most famous people.
Seriously??? What a lucky guy you are
That's why I would never believe he is dead!
I'm surprised no one had the idea to turn the ranch into a vineyard with a bit of Neverland flare into it. Keeps the history there but also makes it a viable tourist spot considering where it's located.
Actually the wine grapes do not grow very well in that area just so you're aware
@@ItsMeTyScott th-cam.com/video/ttviqvfTBTg/w-d-xo.html
Nice thought, but land developers are into making billions, not making wine.
The Jesus Juice Vinyard? ...
Ya let’s celebrate the history of abused children…
I remember visiting Neverland after Michael died. My family and I went on a little pilgrimage to the property and took tons of pictures, there were also other grieving fans there playing music and selling shirts and memorabilia. It's definitely an interesting memory to look back on
Why is it so hard for people to grasp why Michael wanted to surround himself with children? They wanted nothing from him, they didn’t judge him, he was just a regular guy. They didn’t use him for their own selfish reasons. Michael gave himself the childhood he dreamed of. With no beatings no 18 hour days of practicing. I believe Michael was in a state of arrested development. He lived a hard but charmed life. This was his escape.
It was evident since he expressed he never had a normal childhood so I somewhat get it. His father used to make fun of his appearance so there's that also. Michael was such a troubled person all around due to his surroundings.
100%
You are so beautiful!
Or maybe he was just into little boys. As horrible as that sounds, that's where all the evidence points. I was a big fan of MJ, but reality is reality.
@@rtoma1974 🙄🙄 the evidence points to, he was a innocent man all along dude, thats the reality, do your research. Make sure it comes from the right sources not tabloids.
That wall of tube TVs seems so archaic now...
Yeah and it wasn't even that long ago that they were still very common. Maybe 10 years

Still have a big tube TV for viewing home videos.
No matter what you think of Michael Jackson he ruled the 80's. Michael needed a good friend that wouldn't be afraid to tell him "NO" when needed.
he was a 40 year old man hugging and cuddling 9 year old boys. sleeping in his bed. is that OK? would you leave your children with him? be real
@@coldacre No, but like I said he needed good friends that would tell him "NO" when needed.
@@jetsons101 I don't know about you but I don't need to have friend to tell me not to fuck kids. I just....don't.
Ewwww
And he ruled the lives of vulnerable young boys.
I have had the honor of visiting Neverland. It was one of the beautifully welcoming environments I've been too. It was literally an amusement park.
Kelli was it when🌻 Michael 🌻 lived there,ive watched home movies of him just having so much crazy fun with a load of kids so where u one of those kids?.
I was friends with one of MJ nephews and I got to visit the park for my friends birthday. It was pretty awesome.
Sure thing lets all believe kelli guillory some random person in the comments
That ranch should be turned into a museum.
museum of child molestation? they should bulldoze pdoe willy wonka's house of horrors.
@@verbadum2298 No one knows for sure if he molested those kids or not. It's never been proven. I don't think he did it.
@@nativetexanful the victims know for sure. anyone with common sense knows. look how mj the most obvious pptoucher of all time tells people that sleeping in bed with little kids is the best

@@verbadum2298 sleeping bed and sharing bed are two different things, you need to understand that , mj shared bed , and he slept on the floor , his room is big as an apartment not any private room! He had sleepovers with all kinds of people including his niece , nephews, Chris Tucker , mcauly culuckin , Elizabeth Taylor and many more ! 10 years of fbi investigation tells he is innocent, remember people can lie easily but facts won’t
Damn! I feel for Bubbles, from riches too rags and living in FL.😢
Poor bubbles, thats depressing as hell. 😭
WHEN MY EX WORKED
THERE IN THE 90'S
AND HE ALMOST FELL OUT OF HIS WORK TRUCK WHEN HE SAW A BUNCJ OF BIG DUDES SRIVING GOLF CARTS CARRYING AK-47'S.....
THAT WAS TRIPPY BUT WHEN ONE OF THE GUARDS HAD HIS
AK AND BUBBLES WAS WITH HIM.
NO CAMERA PHINES THEN AND HE HAS TO SIGN NDA'S EVERY TIME THEY STOPPED AND QORKED.
NO TALKING TO ANYONE
AND "NO EYE CONTACT" I WAS ALSO IN THERE.
I JAVE ANOTHER STORY BUT ILL LEAVE IT OUT.
bubbles was beaten
@@maureeng.obrien9259 what? Did you have a stroke typing that?
Bubbles did what cute little chimps do, they become adult chimps and are extremely aggressive and CHIMPS there crazy strong and fast. There all cute and cuddly till they bite your thumbs off gouge out your eyes and rip your junk off if they can. Nasty little things. But that's what chimps do.
That was a place MJ had I wish I could of gone there to visit while he was there I would of got on some of those rides and enjoyed the view Beautiful place.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙😍
I got to spend 5 days at Neverland in 2002 (Chris Tucker was a friend from before he was famous and we called ourselves "working," but not much got done 😆), and let me tell you, that place was everything you could imagine it was - and then some. It was the dirtiest and most gloriously tired that I ever was - or ever will be - as an adult. Armageddon could have been going on outside those gates and we wouldn't have known it - and I lost touch with reality almost immediately lol. One morning, while I was sitting outside the backdoor of the main house with my laptop "working," a guy walked up with an elephant and a baby deer on a leash. I was less than two days in and it seemed perfectly normal 🤷♀. Apparently, the elephant got treats on Mondays (especially muffins) and I just happened to be there. Next thing I know, my whole right arm is down the elephant's throat giving her a can of Mountain Dew. WTF?!?! Then Chris comes around the corner dressed head to toe in full-on Arab garb... and I didn't ask any questions. I also didn't think it was weird a little while later when I saw Chris (still in that get-up) walking that baby deer (like it was a puppy) across the bridge over the lake behind our guest cottages. Neverland was a "bubble" like no other. In the theater, while making plans for what we'd do when we went back home, Chris said, "So when we get back to the "states"..." Mind you, we'd gotten to Neverland on a bus from his house, and we were about a three hour drive from Los Angeles lol. And then MJ came home on day three. Seeing him be a regular dad was just... there are no words.
I was living in Hollywood off sunset Blvd, when MJ died.. The police blocked off the area around MJ Hollywood Walk star.. When nighttime fell, My friend & I jump the barrier & lit a candle for him there was no candles or anything at the time. We came back the next day & the whole sidewalk was covered to half way to the street with flowers & thousands of different Items that people left.. It was awesome to have the opertunity to be the first person pay respect to him at the hollywood walk of fame on his star..
Thankyou for giving my idol MJ the respect he deserved and never got in life. I cried when he passed away.
Cool
@@bdstratton1979 You and I both 😭😭
@@shelleylindquist9452 so did I ... I think the majority of us cried or at least had tears in our eyes ... I'll never forget that day .
I was always a fan of Mike Jackson I loved his music and I also loved music from the Jackson 5
Even if he was guilty of the things people say he did
I loved his music
Watching this video all I can feel is just sadness.😢😢😢
4 the children
For all the poor children MJ harmed?
Irishjay1025 he never touched any children and that doc they made wasn’t accurate and even the producers or the directors said it wasn’t accurate let the guy rest he’s an innocent man who never did wrong to anyone
I would like to know, who was his financial advisor? MJ is heading down the road to financial disaster, way before he died. Maybe that was the reason for his death, worrying over debts.
@@Irishjay1025 0nley after he died and found not guilty the kids start blameing him after the pay outs paid to lie dont believe them did not have the ballsto speek up when he was alive
They can say what they say, but one thing is for sure: Few human beings make our world better with their art like Michael Jackson. RIP Michael
What was made better in the world due to Jackson's art? Crime rates dropped in the world due to Jackson's music? Did his music put an end to global conflicts?
@Taalib Hossandorff and victims carried the emotional scars to this day.
My heart hurts for him. I hope noone else ever goes through what he endured
@@taalibhossandorff8287 "Did his music put an end to global conflicts"
Are you an idiot? Is crime rate and global conflicts the only way to make the world a better place? Michael Jackson brought smiles and joy to millions.
@@laartworkThere were no victims!
I had been to Neverland Ranch a few times back in the 2,000's. There was always fans at the big wood entrance gates. I camped above the ranch in the mountains called Figueroa Mountain. Beautiful scenic area. Solvang, California is also a Danish town close by.
@Skynet place is missing a nice skate ramp 👳 . . Would have been better with a street plazza and a bowl too !

🤣🤣🤣chill
Glad to know that MJ’s dream home hasn’t been left abandoned and in ruins. That would have been truly sad.
It should be he abused children here……….
Michael said he felt it wasn’t a home anymore after it got raided so he left.
@@alanahclaire6494 His home was raided by 70 officers while Michael was not at home. They were hell bent on destroying this man. My son has been diagnosed as high functioning autistic. He is 30 years old now and would rather be around kids than adults. He is also very smart and musically gifted. I wonder if Michael had some mental issue as this. Anyway, greedy people literally destroyed him. He couldn't even trust his own family.
@@workingman-xl6xh Maybe you're right.
Time and again, I've heard about a star, and even a superstar like Jackson, who've financially sunk themselves into an estate costly to keep and too expensive to sell - housepoor. No one in their right mind would want it.
Fascinating video, to me the most interesting part is actually the details about the original developer who bought the land and built the massive house and guest houses in the 1980s before MJ lived there. I always thought that those houses were built while MJ owned the property. How wild to learn that was actually someone else's vision for their opulent family home and then MJ bought it.
Went there with kids I worked with. Had to sign this 30 page agreement not to talk about anything we saw there. Best game at the arcade was Moonwalker
Wait wha-
Did you just break the NDA? 😳
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea I know, right? I played Moonwalker on Sega Genesis in the early 90s. It sucked.
Did you make sure to watch the kids closely?
@@andrewmurphy2133 it was just workers there. But yes we had good staff working as well… typically.
I didn't realize that Jackson wasn't home when they raided his house. Interesting video, thanks.
Ty
Yup. They has free reign on everything, including dozens of computers. And best they found was a wine cellar and Playboys with Michael’s fingerprints all over them.
I watched a different video and I thought when they were in his house he was probably walking around with them and was gonna say “ Are u done now”
I wonder where he was
@@sacoyawilliams2991He was in LV with his kids, he was doing a music video, something related. In 1993, when it got raided, he was not there too as he was touring in SEA.
This was once of the most beautiful housing & landscape combos ever assembled
Huge, huge, huge, documentary. Michael Jackson was a musical genius. A talent of which the world will never see again. His Property should have been saved and restored for generations to be able to see it instead of tearing aspects of it down and being sold. He gave so much to the world in terms of music and entertainment and hundreds of millions of dollars to charities. Your documentary mentioned that a family friend bought it. I believe he will do the right thing. I drove out to the gates of Neverland 3 times in the past 30 days. This documentary gives me a greater perspective of what was on the other side of the gate. Thank you so much. I will always love you Michael. Always and forever.
I was there during the week of july 4th 2021 , I spent a couple days in Solvang and stopped by the property at various times during my stay just to see if I could catch something ... after seeing fresh pavement at the entrance and down the interior roadway , I knew something was going on , and what I saw was workmen entering the property , looked like painters , the place is definitely being worked on ...
I heard that it was being turned into some dumb football camp
I hope it gets turned into a Playboy mansion
I was there about 5 yrs ago and saw all the graffiti on the stones at the entrance. People wrote their initials and RIP MJ....Couldn't see any activity, though I tried to spy. 👀
The rumor is the MJ Estate was filming scenes there for the upcoming MJ biopic movie , the same people who made the Queen biopic are making the Michael Jackson one currently . So that’s why I believe the carnival rides were being brought in and roads repaved.
@@universallove7741 Thats exactly what I heard too.
MJ and his music is part of so many people’s history growing up it’s very sad it all ended the way it did, I think a number of things got to him in the end I’m glad I’m not famous and rich in the cruel world we live in …..
It's fair not cruel girl
@@vitorgohsev4938 how was it fair? Let’s get into it
@@vitorgohsev4938 Life isn't fair at all what are you saying
I think what really got to him was the flammable stuff he put in his hair.
@@DigitalSubset ungrateful
For those that want to ride on one of his old rides, the bumper car house is in the Sacramento fairground permanently!
I was able to talk to Prince (MJ’s son) in Vegas and he would love to do the Thriller Night fundraiser party up in Neverland within the next 5 years. The ranch was bought by a friend of Michael’s and the ranch is being used for charity work. Sick and underprivileged kids still go up there with their families. Michael kids go on the ranch too. Now the ranch is being prepared for the biopic.
Has anyone interviewed Bubbles? I bet Bubbles has a few stores
Still alive btw!
I'll bet...lol
there is a youtube video where Latoya Jackson went to visit Bubbles he didn’t remember her
Ironic, since MJ inhaled air canisters didn’t he? (they can bubble underwater)
Bubbles was probably molested too .
I live about 15 miles from this place. Everyone has stories about MJ and his…eccentricities around town when he left the Ranch.
Any good stories or info? Send me an email leebreece@gmail.com

Been waiting for a video like this for years ! For someone to go into the history of the land , maps , developers etc
Great job and thank you so much for your research !! Huge MJ fan and found this video awesome and fun to watch

My neighbor and friend lived at Neverland caring for the animals. Some of the critters now reside across the street from me.
I was out on the ranch just a few months ago in June. It’s so quiet and remote out there, nothing for miles. Even though it was a bright sunny day, it was eerie. Like really eerie. Guard house at the front gate is still manned 24/7.
I dont have the heart to listening to this man’s stories. He deserved living in a better world. for good or bad, he was a kind human. may he RIP🌺🙏🏿
Leandro Ciccone, my thoughts exactly! 🙏🙏🙏
I agree

Only thing Michael was guilty of was trusting people he had no business trusting. If only he had stayed closer to his family he probably would still be here. I will always love and adore him true fan for 46+ years. Rest up my King👑
I said the same thing but he trusted people he should have stayed close to and with his family miss you MJ rip
It's the ppl who owns n controls the music industry that went for him bc he was going to expose them. Kanye always dishes on this so they try to make him look crazy.

Michael sold off the zoo animals & theme park rides as what happened was very traumatic to him! But even without those thing's this is still a very beautifully built & landscaped home! Such a sad thing to happen to such a beautiful place!
He sold them off because they weren't being taken care of. Bubbles is at a chimp sanctuary and they said he was physically abused during his stay at Neverland.

Thank you for a great video about Neverland Ranch and update on its current status. I live near Bob Hope's home in Toluca Lake, also owned by Ron Burkle. He purchases these properties to maintain their history, not to tear down and build McMansions like so many developers in LA. Happy that he is the new owner. He will do right by Neverland property as he has with other purchases. I wish there were more Ron Burkle's in the world that maintain the history of landmark Old Hollywood homes. I know Elon Musk sold Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner's home to their nephew, to refrain from another developer building a McMansion in its place.
Íjio
Great info thank you for sharing.
Ron Burkle? I've never heard of him before, but he's obviously uber wealthy.
@@Contact_Info I have no idea. You're asking the wrong person.
@@Contact_Info a huge house on a postage stamp sized lot.
Its is so to realize Neverland will most likely be divided up and homes will cover the land. Michael brought so much joy to kids there.
I see 22 million for the ranch as being a good deal even though I couldn't afford to pay the taxes on a place like that. My dream home would be a 15ft x 30ft one bedroom house up on a hill on an acre of land with a detached 30ft x 60ft Garage down near the road. I'll never see it but if by some stroke of luck I do, I'll never invite any kids or open myself up for charges or a lawsuit like that. I'll be careful about allowing adults on my property for fear even they would accuse me of something.
Ur pitch is perfect dude loved “that note” tag at the end bruh kick ass circus vibe could do a melody or at least a hook on it
Excellent and sensitive coverage . Well done .
My mom loved Michael and hoped to marry him, so she would drive us up there to sit outside of the gate whenever we had a spare weekend. We became friends with the workers and a higher up named Jesus, who let us in once to watch a movie in the theatre (free candy and popcorn), and ride the bumper cars, I also played on the trampolines that were flush with the ground right behind the house, and climbed up halfway to a treehouse in one of the trees around the house. Later during his final trial, we went up to support him and everyone who came was given a Dodo bird plushie and an invite to Neverland, that was the second time we went and everyone was there. I never went in his house or saw the zoo, but it was very cool, sometimes idolising a superstar gives your kids nice memories lol. RIP, Michael. 👑 🎤
When I was a kid my Aunt lived on a Ranch next to Michael Jackson's property. They would tell me how Neverland was right over the hill... it was very confusing as a child
"Neverland"
"Once upon a time" !!
I don't know why these lines touches me, it gives me the feeling as if Michael Jackson himself is saying his childhood sad stories.
He was a man whom nobody understood.
His love for children was like a "motherly" in "friend"-ship, which is hard to understand in this present volatile world.
oh its touching you alright.
@@mindsprawl He touched so many.
@Blaze Temp that why I said, some will not understand his love.
@@vellapb1812 look at all these people proving you right. I agree with you.
I don’t believe he molested children. I also believe he was asexual. However he was wrong in his thinking that having boys sleep in his bed was ok. He should have known better. And he did manipulate the families and vise versa. It went both ways. I think his ego got in the way of good judgment. He wasn’t SO childlike that he couldn’t see what that could lead to in the eyes of the law and the public. He made very big bi decisions. Also has a real spending problem. But I still see him as a good person. I think he grew up way too fast with a cruel overbearing father and his fame overshadowed the biggest stars. Only Marilyn Elvis and the Beatles ever experienced that level of idol worship
I think Michael Jackson had something happen in his mind growing up as a child star that maybe, being a child was his identity and he could never let go of that. And he probably didn’t get stable friends being on the road as a traveling star. So when he was older and had more fame, he still managed to have that child like vision of himself and the friends he felt he missed out on. It’s easy to judge but can you imagine growing up living like adults do and completely missing out on a normal childhood we all take for granted? The stardom sounds wonderful but we’ve all heard many instances where it has it’s downsides. So like many have said, he’s basically a child that never grew up, hence the name Neverland. Like, it’s fine when two kids hang out together. But of course because of our dark world, an adult and a child hanging out together privately often can lead to no good and it’s unusual so people will draw their suspicions but when you truly grasp how Michael Jackson was raised and how little of a childhood he actually got to have, it’s easier to make sense of his need to have young boys as friends. I don’t believe he touched them wrongfully, they would have come out and said so. Even Macaulay Culkin vouched for him.
Ty Barker, the Osmonds also grew up without a normal childhood, they travelled, practised singing and dancing constantly, had almost no time or opportunity for friends and games. They were not allowed to bring any friends to their home. We haven't heard anyone of them having the need as adults to "deal" with children! The biggest difference for them was that they loved their father, the Jacksons didn't love THEIR father from what I understand. So no matter what kind of childhood MJ had or didn't have wasn't the sole reason for him wanting to play or "play" with children as an adult. And none of his siblings ended up like him although they missed out on their childhood as much as MJ.
@@mrsTraveller64 I’m not saying all people with a similar upbringing will be this way, I just speculate there was something going on with this guy. He just loved children. Same with Mr. Rogers. And it’s sad that society seems very suspicious of an adult who loves children because children need adults who believe in them, encourage them and teach them. Of course, the boundary should never be crossed though. Idk, I’d just feel like a bad person for wrongly accusing someone of being a pedophile if they weren’t. That’s a heavy label to put on someone.
he was not a child. He himself said there is difference between childlike wonder and being childish. Bringing childlike vision on pedestal is typical for most great artists from Michalangelo to Kurt Cobain. It helps to keep your perspective fresh and not stop learning. Him being a child is another lie that tabloids made about him
I agree with a lot of this sentiment.
@@mrsTraveller64 … I’ve always heard, even MJ acknowledged it, that their father was also physically abusive. I know the Osmonds worked hard but I’ve never heard of any physical abuse. I think comparing the two families is like comparing apples to oranges.
bro this channel is so underrated! awesome work keep it up! it will pay off!
Like all of us, Mr. Jackson’s dreams died with him. R.I.P. ✝️
Not completely at least, his fans and those who loved him still hold high and respect the ideals and dreams he did manage to present to the world in his lifetime. Hopefully, some of the work he left behind will inspire future generations.
I want more! This was such a good vid, I love the concept of “modern ruins”

Even for the most famous person in the world after you die life goes on
I went there about 10 years ago and I couldn't believe the condition the grounds were in.
Depressing site? Too dry and empty?
Neverland Ranch should have been turned into a museum
“Private fantasies”
*demon growl intensifies*
furry profile picture intensifies
*das disclaimer*
by the way, just wanna get this out the way, I ain’t no furry
Thank you so much for upload this video, Great job, feel sad what Michael's had been through, I miss him so bad
I think it’s horrible that the surrounding neighbors didn’t get to see the beauty of a Michael Jackson Neverland memorial park😭😭😭
Well after those allegations of child abuse, not sure I'd want to see where the crimes occurred either. There is that to think about.
@@tbecker97204
Crimes rhat have never been proven
Maybe the neighbours wouldn't have wanted visitors traipsing all over the place and cars everywhere.
I grew up "poor", when i see stuff like this it reminds of how rich i have been for so long but i didn't know. In life we need good health, a bedroom and a kitchen to make meal. Or i forgot a few clothes and some shoes 😅😅😅.
God bless y'all 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, impressive research. Well done, man!
Such a beautiful property 👑
Neverland would have been amazing if they could open it to the public
Man he was truly an amazing loving person! He is sorely missed by millions of fans all around the world 🌍.. R.I.P. KING OF POP❤
Wow! This was a really well-produced and well-researched video. Very impressive and informative. Thank you for sharing the research and knowledge.
Amazing video! Thank you! I've always wanted to see this place in real life. It's on my list of places to visit for sure.
Warren Zevon summed up the absurdity of this place in the song Splendid Isolation:
"Micheal Jackson in Disney Land;
Don't have to share it with nobody else;
'Lock the gates goofy take my hand and lead me through the world of self.'"
Long back I do remember reading an article where MJ stated as .. "Accuse me 9f anything else but not as Child abuser ... Am. Not that ... And he sounded soooo hopeless..." Everyone have their own backlogs but in general people tend to destroy natural magnificence... RIP MJ 😭
8:01 "including a million dollar payroll for 120 fulltime staff"
That math doesn't compute ...

@@LaBreeceTV OK, I see it now 👍
Even at just $30k a year each it's over 3.6 million, plus SS, taxes etc etc
@@HobbyOrganist maybe they only made 10k a year each. 🤷🏽♂️.
Love your videos and glad to see your adventures as well. Thanks for posting this too. Have a nice day now.
I swear I hade like a month of depression when I heard that he passed away
You did a really good job on this. 👏 👏
Congrats on almost 300k views Lee, you’re doing an incredible job 👏🏻
Maybe I can quit writing labreeectv on bathroom walls and people's geometry's tests now 🤷♂️
I had no idea Ron Burkle owns the ranch. Very interesting. Good video 👍
I was hoping michael jackson
Home would be sold to someone
Who admires his home and his respect for Michael Jackson
He didn't do anything wrong! I was a tour electrician in 1988 on the bad tour. He fell in love with the electric guitar and was bitten by the rock bug. He didn't want to sign a record deal because he was told, "you are a discotheque singer!" He knew he was a rocker! " you will do as we say, or else!" Roumors were spread , it was worth billions and billions. Yes, eventually he re-signed the contracts. He wasn't allowed his personal touch on his creative genius. Hence, all the trouble.
"You are a discotheque singer."??? That's freaking hilarious and you are full of it. 🤣
I absolutely LOVE the Haunted House opening
Yes?!
Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis.
I made a sod delivery there in 2002, drove my big rig right through the amusement park.

This is a Beautiful place, I wish they would of opened it up. It's just gorgeous
I remember Say Say Say as a kid. Good song 🎵
That 'So The Bys' killed me. Sotheby's, as in Suv-er-bees
Same, I had a giggle.
How about Colony. LOL.
@A Z I wasn't showing how to spell it.... that's how it's pronounced.
Suv Er Bees. Sotheby's
@sang mcclaine No, no it isn't.
lol you're British... you're ironically, very wrong.
Well done video. It really shows how fame and fortune is so fleeting.
...when Is badly managed plus drugs. Michael has to pay millions also for law dies because of the child molestation accussations. Some parents choose to take millions as hush money. Some of these parents pimped their bien kids.
Yes, fame and fortune really mean nothing. We all die eventually and no amount of fame or fortune will stop that. What counts is how we treat others while we are on this earth. The only thing that we take with us is the love in our hearts.
Thank you for the most straight up $$ & professional real estate assessment perspective that I've never seen .
The LLC has done a fantastic job . I hope someone is currently enjoying this once again beautiful property!
Thorough, clear, interesting narration and footage. Thanks for posting!
