The Story of Neverland Ranch | What Happened to Michael Jackson’s Dream Home?

FOLLOW @labreecetv @leebreece @breecebuilds and check out their YouTube channels. 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.
