Neverland, Michael Jackson’s gigantic California ranch in Los Olivolos (200 kilometers from Los Angeles), has just been sold. Indeed, sold out, for just 22 million dollars, that is a little more than a tenth part of the 100 million requested initially. An acquisition that scores the end of an era, not just because it arrives well 11 years after the singer’s death, but above all because here they would have worn out harassment of childreni for which the most acclaimed star in the world has faced a historical process.
A process from which he was acquitted in court but never fully by public opinion, also thanks to posthumous testimonies. Like those of the documentary Leaving Neverland, which brought to the center of attention the voices of two now adult children who told the (alleged) violence that took place within the walls of this house built to measure of the dreams of the little ones, evocative in the name: Neverland is the English name for Peter Pan’s Neverland.
The buyer is one of the pop star’s closest friends: it’s about Ronald Wayne Barkle, billionaire founder of Yucaipa Companies, a private investment firm. He bought the ranch – as communicated by its founder – as an opportunity to land banking (substantially to divide it up and possibly rebuild). This means that the original property built by Jackson, bought in 1988 for 19.5 million and sold in 2008 sold to Colony Capital for financial problems, could remain very little.
In Neverland the singer has lived for more than 15 years: it was a fantasy world with a zoo, an amusement park, even a railway. All spread over over 1000 hectares of land with a total of 22 buildings including his manor house with over a thousand square meters of space and around swimming pools, basketball courts, tennis, a studio entirely dedicated to dance, artificial lakes.
