What Does Michael Jackson's Home Look Like Now? || Neverland Ranch

The Tru Drone team visited Neverland Ranch, the late Michael Jackson's home of 15 years. This property has been unoccupied since 2006, when Michael Jackson left it following the court cases. In the 14 years since, a lot of things have changed at Neverland Ranch.

A realty company bought the property and restored some facilities. The property was put on the market in 2015 for $100 million. They were looking for buyers who were not interested in converting the place into a sort of museum or monument to Michael Jackson. The price was reduced in 2018 to $67 million. It was reduced again in 2019 to $31 million. After failing to be sold again, the property was finally taken off the market.

Clips of Michael Jackson's home from the 90s and early 2000s is not owned by us. It was used here under Fair Use. It was used to compare the past and present appearance of Neverland Ranch and to educate the public about this historic site.

BREAKING NEWS: As of this morning (December 24, 2020), it seems that the property has been bought by billionaire, Ron Burkle. It is not yet certain what he plans to do with it.

[Inaworldoflove]

This is so sad to watch. It was once a magical place where a superstar lived and wrote amazing songs and dreamed amazing dreams. RIP Michael.

[kornfreak]

Sadly it just goes to show that everything in life is temporary... nothing lasts forever. Rest easy, Michael... you are sorely missed. :(

[kristuti]

Without Michael Neverland is lifeless.

[littledarkly]

In the Oprah interview in the 1990s, they have shown where Michael put special rooms up towards the top of the movie theater with large windows where children could see out to the theater screen. He had done this so kids that were bed bound with sickness, could go and watch movies at the Neverland theater just like the other kids. This man was a living angel, may you rest in peace Michael ♡

[Jojo-kpeb]

The Jackson family should have opened it up like grace land, for fans to visit including the rides 😊 if I had the money I’d buy it in a heartbeat 💗

[LyraLasala]

trashing a person's dream after all he did to help this World is really cruel and disgusting. We are so sorry Michael for all that you have to endure.

[jaafarisami]

It's so sad, knowing how much he loved and cared for that place 💔 😔. Thank you

[virginiadhita]

When he died I was only 9 years old, because my parents liked the song I also liked the song, but when I was 20 years old, I realized Michael Jackson was a good person, he cared about environmental, social and cultural conditions, the song has a moral message. not echoed by many singers today, whatever the controversy at that time, I believe Michael is a good person, seeing neverland makes me remember we should be able to remember Michael, I hope good people will restore neverland to how it used to be

[alidrummer]

The place full of sadness... What a huge space he left after his death... I grown up with daily liestining to Michael's music... RIP legend of music...

[WAKE-UP-BRITAIN]

To this day in 2022 there's been nothing close to the entertainment and passion shown, he's an absolute legend

[jacksonlover]

It breaks my heart knowing how much he loved and cared about this place 😞💕

[padussia]

The minute a person becomes successful, that's when people feel that they owe them something. R.I.P Michael.

[francescorossi]

I have no words to describe what I feel while I watch this video. A place full of life, when Michael was there, and now a place full of death. 😢😢. RIP Michael.

[geneliavijay]

This is so sad. The place where Michael lived. So sad to see the rides are gone. Could have just left in memory of the legend. I don’t know how all this works, but could have kept it for fans to come and see like a museum or something. I really miss him. ❤

[ameliarosetravel]

This just breaks my heart, so many beautiful memories were made here and now its just abandoned. I know a couple of his rides you can actually still ride on in the California State Fair when its open. I’ve been on a couple of his rides and they were fun and I know so many amazing memories were made on those rides in Neverland I’m happy they are still being used, but its just sad how the Neverland Ranch is just sitting their. Im very surprised his family didn’t buy it.

[dellymea]

Michael Jackson would crying for this..this is paradise for Him..I feel sorry for Michael..its breaks My heart..he was a wonderful and loving person..Thank You Michael for the message of love..I love You

[amrice]

There is always deep sadness when I reflect on Michael and his children. They deserved to live their lives fully in peace. How much he loved his kids is evident in his home movies. The masks actually protected their identity so he could send them to school! He was giving them as much of a normal life as possible. I get very sad indeed when I see these videos. It was his dream come true to have never land. He worked his ass off as a baby and he did miss out on it all. Why couldn’t human beings see past and realize he too was human and had a broken heart.

[sylviawade]

I remember Michael saying I will never go back to Neverland it's not a home to me anymore after the trial I would have neither they destroyed the Happy and loving place that he made it for. Gosh I wish that he was still here but then again im happy that he can't be hurt anymore but I know he said that even through we die our spirit lives on and I know that he knows that all the real Michael Jackson fans that we will continue to keep his legacy alive and we will for ever love him.

[karrey]

I wish it could be turned into an all-MJ museum with his whole life story, his accomplishments, his unrecorded songs, etc.
In fact they could have even hired other musicians to record his unreleased music under special conditions to keep MJ alive. Oh! How I wish I was a billionaire 😥
